I agree with you, and not just because I’ve said the same thing! > [@Is now the time for moderate Republicans to try to retake control of the party?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-now-the-time-for-moderate-republicans-to-try-to-retake-control-of-the-party/969704/210): > > And if anything, the trend is accelerating. So, yeah, the party was bartered away to ever-more crazy factions for votes, over the period of decades. As I said in another thread, the current Republican party is an anti-democratic, no platform populist party merely united around it’s hate of the other, with no actual platform, which wears a tattered skin bag Edgar-suit of the former Republican party and some of their slogans. > > Or to put it even more graphically, the Republican’s invited the parasitic entities in, hoping to benefit from their vitality, and have in turn, been eaten from the inside out. The last bit with the speaker being only the most obvious bit about how the dead skin and facade of the Republican party is now tearing showing what’s really left inside. My question, and going back to the subject of this thread, is does Boebert or any of the MAGA politicians (supporters are a very different story) believe their own propaganda. Because I don’t think most of them do - they see it as their shot at money, fame and power, but I see damn all evidence that they’re sincere in any way at all, or they’d be working more towards actually acomplishing something, even if that thing is totally negative by my and others POV. Back to the comparison with the Tea Party, I found most of them similar, but a few including Ken Buck as recently mentioned, did seem to actually give a rat’s ass about the nation, even if on the whole, I loathed them and their epic hypocrisy which was often on open display. So, and again back to Boebert, let’s re-answer the question from the OP: > [@Moriarty](#): > > But what does she _do_, exactly, for the people of her district, or for the country as a whole? Nothing. She’s a reality TV star fundamentally, and she’s worried (with good cause!) about being cancelled for declining ratings and poor reviews. At this point, she’s basically at the stage of shouting on Xitter “My show was cancelled because those Jew-producers don’t like what I’m saying.” 🙄 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/please-explain-lauren-boebert/990163)._
