It’s actually good to have idiots like this on record being idiots. When investments don’t get made, they’ll change their tune.
The playbook for obscure republican politicians is to flip the bird at something and get some rah-rah from the base. Plus, sometimes hidden in the pandering is some actual problem identification.

Dogwhistle to the fascists, kleptocrats, and ideologues. It maybe "tilting at windmills", but it's bluster "to impress the ladies". 3. An attempt to raise a proposal so extreme in order to gather press coverage.
