Are They Taking Themselves Seriously?

I think it's because the journalists don't take them takin seriously. And and i don't know whether they should be taken seriously. At best, they're pandering to the convictions of a mob who actually would want the laws to change in this way. I just don't understand that their confidence is derived from either some assumption that just no one is following the plot here,. No one actually understands the position they're articulating or they just think hat most people are close enough to this position that it's a safe position to stake out.
