Sometimes I think it would be better to simply remove all attention from them...

[kentuck]

"Them" being those like Boebert, MTG, Cruz, Trump and other attention hogs.

Sometimes I think it would be better to simply ignore them.

If they didn't have someone to attack, they would attack themselves.

It would be a self-cannibalization process.

1. Yes it would but convince the MSM to do that. If they wouldn't have

made every stupid tweet from Trump the daily headline it would have been better.

2. Shunning is the proper response

Ostracize, shun, ignore... whatever it takes to demonstrate the low esteem they so richly deserve.

3. 100% agree, now tell MSM to do the same. Good damn luck!

4. There is a tradeoff, though...

ignoring them allows them to continue their plotting in secret, and then springing it on us. Sunlight truly is the best disinfectant.

The problem arises when their actions and words are not publicly shamed and shunned and they assume that their actions and words are more popular than they are. They tend to live in a vacuum of self promotion and mutual admiration from their peers.

5. In days of olde (ok, not THAT long ago) I would agree...

but in todays world of echo chambers, bubbles, private chatrooms, etc...

I just think it would all fester first into a boil, and being hidden from us would quietly give our entire society a bad case of systemic blood poisoning.

We need to lance the boil, expel the poison, flush the wound, clean with antiseptics, and inject a strong dose of antibiotics.

10. Perhaps the trump phenomenon fits your example, somewhat at least, the

anti-biotic course will take a very long time though.

6. It's already happening.

The regressive right is threatening to "primary" the centrist Republican establishment. The process promises to be brutal, divisive and detrimental to the GOP being able to win in the general elections.

A note: I am deliberately using suggestive terms here, so we Democrats don't forget lessons learned from our own primaries.

7. We do that and the rest of the.MSM never labels them, it looks like this.time there's

... an effort to do what the kGOP does to us and rightly demonize these assholes for supporting the J6 attacks

[SlogginThroughIt]

13. This exactly.

[d_r]

8. Yep

Unfortunately without trump our media needs someone to be pissed off about

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. As I stated in a post above yours, evil needs to be exposed.

[SlogginThroughIt]

11. We have ignored them fir 40 years.

We have ignored them for 40 years (probably more) abd this is where we are at. If we go back to ignoring them they will not stop. I would rather them be out in the light and see who is a follower if them so we can squash those cockroaches then let them quietly grow stronger undetected.
