Breaking Bad, Parks and Rec, Harry Potter Movies, Twilight Movies, 50 Shades Movies, Arrested Development, and roughly 90% of everything Tarantino has made with the exception of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction (The guy's a douche whose entire oeuvre is two-plus hours of patting himself on the back for how film history literate he is)
a few extremists in a smaller echo chamber is not only preferable, but also far easier for authorities to ultimately handle.
Treating these idiots like the nut jobs they are at worst creates another Jonestown.
"Discussion and understanding" meanwhile creates attempted coups and riots because they suddenly think their view is "normalized". I know which one i prefer to see in the news.
Small and zealous is far easier for authorities to deal with than numerous and spreading...

If I'm being honest with myself, as much as I hate myself for saying it, it really depends on how "grateful" Boebert would be...
God I'm a terrible person.
Sadly true.
The Extinction level meteor can't come soon enough.
Time to pack it in and give some other microorganism a shot at the evolutionary big-leagues. Maybe they'll do better.
Meanwhile I type this on an absolutely gorgeous Motorola Edge 2023 that costs half the price of either...
The reality is that Samsung doesn't care. They make iPhones displays for them so they make money either way.
