A funny (see: sad and disappointing but not surprising ) part but not certainly the only funny part:

Boebert said she was “extremely disappointed in the bias” of reporter Ryan Warner’s questions about a third of the way through the interview, and she later battled with him over climate change and water, saying “there’s certainly a reason” she doesn’t “listen to CPR news.”

    QAnon and Trump taught Republicans that its totally ok to live in an alternate reality where they are always correct and never have to admit to being wrong, or if they do want to admit to being wrong, its because of a vast elaborate conspiracy.

    They live in a delusional fantasy land. Its basically mass hallucination/psychosis in service of a cult leader, but because there’s a lot of them, its not seriously considered a mental illness.

      Religion taught them the alternate reality, from birth. All Republicans have done is exploit the logical weaknesses that religion embeds in the population.

      It’s not a coincidence that the most religious are the most unwavering Republicans. There is a long and well documented history of their bloodthirsty nationalism.
