Race to the bottom? You bet.
Pandering to Trump's Q / MAGAt base? Ditto.
But this incessant ramping up of the rhetoric, becoming more loathsome as each day passes...
You have Republicans who pull out the can of crazy whenever there is a vote, or a major headline issue, but Green and Boebert are both so starved for attention that they yell "FIRE IN THE HOLE" on the quietest days.
My career background is in Marketing. I am familiar...sadly...with the "No such thing as bad publicity" thing.
They're not alone...Madison Cawthorn seems to be reaching for the same brass ring as Greene and Boebert.
So what is their endgame?

(20,841 posts)The goal is to get as much attention as possible and a huge following and them bilk the morons for the rest of their life. FOX news always needs talking heads. Heck so does CNN etc ...
There's a gravy train for the loudest and most willing to play the clown for the media (social and otherwise.)
