It doesn't make a ton of sense to argue that Biden is incompetent and somehow magically running a crime family. Those opinions do not jive with one another.

Also, yes, Boebert probably isn't someone who should comment on criminal activity, especially after deciding to fuck someone in a crowded theater.

Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak". On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.
