Fortunately, "they," in this case, is this woman:

Sometimes extremes are an advantage! As inferred above, make anything sufficiently 'draconian' and no one is likely to take it seriously. The 'no ones' that count, other members of Congress who realistically understand they have more important things to do than respond, participate or encourage such zero chances of passage legislation! What is scary is conjuring the electorate who put this person in office!
especially encourage such wild behavior! Maybe better to keep such legislation coming than the "creeping, bit by bit, small steps. Collectively large inroads in our freedoms!
Just 'a take', offering what seems a realistic counterpoint!
