It’s not about doing that. It’s all about the fact that he CAN, and that Miller and Hegseth and the rest of the Heritage Foundation sees the entirety of North and South America as potential vassal states at best and colonial plantations at worst.
People are gored by bison at Yellowstone every year. When I visited a few years ago, the rangers were actively having to tell people to avoid an elk who, with his harem, had decided to hang out in Fort Yellowstone for a couple days. People are dumb, or don’t think “wow that’s a 600+ lb animal the size of a minivan”.
I had a coworker who came in with a headache. Our receiving dock manager overheard and gave her what my coworker thought was a couple aspirin. Turns out the manager gave her a pair of Vicodin tabs without telling her. Needless to say, she wasn’t doing anything for most of her shift and the receiving manager was kindly told to GTFO.
These became popular in the 2000s as a direct result of a lot of Stranger Danger propaganda.
Massaging your stats to make them say what you want is basic statistics 101.
Every time you deplatform a group, it generally shrinks by about 10%. Keep doing it enough and eventually you have a group that’s JUST the diehards, and that group is generally so small that they’ll burn themselves out.
I’ll also throw in November Kelly’s No Gods No Mayors, and occasional guests Failure To Launch (space disasters) and Beyond The Breakers (shipwrecks).

Let’s call it what it is.
Don’t forget trying to start a war with Iran (and maybe Iraq too) by assassinating an intelligence head during a peace conference with Iraq.
I’ll second the last bit. I’ve got too many friends who bought their houses and they’re so insanely worried about “well what if the paint color on the outside makes people not want to buy the house” or whatever. That’s (hopefully) a problem that’s years and years in the future, and you shouldn’t have to worry about it. Don’t worry about how other people might see it - it’s your house, and you should do things that please you. Always wanted a bright pink bedroom? Go for it.
They likely won’t do anything. The IRS is extremely gun shy about enforcing that doctrine ever since the Church of Scientology thing.
Pretty much this. The average gets dragged down by a HIGH infant mortality rate - nest predators from snakes to raccoons to hawks and vultures kill a lot of hatchlings, as well as things like simple accidents (falling out of a tree, for instance).
I saw several people try to go hiking like that at Red Rocks outside of Las Vegas when I was there.
It was summer. The temperature was 113F that day.
His manifesto is full of a bunch of problematic racial overtones as well.
