reminded of something I wrote about Lauren Boebert back in 2020 theweek.com/articles/946...
In short, Boebert is a classic product of the Age of Trump — someone who is both a cynical grifter out for fame and success at any cost, but also genuinely committed to right-wing extremism. Just like Trump, she is a "law and order" fanatic with a record of running afoul of the law. Just like Trump, she poses as a competent self-made entrepreneur despite a record of dismal failure and huge losses. Just like Trump, she is both selling conservative base voters their own unhinged anger back to them for fame and money, and actually believes all the same crack-brained nonsense they do. It's an ouroboros of political insanity — and local conservatives eat it up.
