For a Democrat, Gabbard. For a Republican, Pence. Supporting someone to "piss off the other side" is just part of the problem and contributes to the erosion of democratic norms. All things otherwise equal, it is better to try to calm the political climate down, not ratchet it up further.

Admittedly, that might not be Gabbard. She does try to reach toward the center a lot, but she is a bit of a social media troll."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

And you got "everyone" right as well!

If you’re coming in like a wrecking ball, it’s time to gather up those Miley posters again.

Now the lovable rogue who taught him how to easily open pad locks on sheds without leaving a trace, and hotwire a motorcycle after disabling any boobytraps -- that's different.
Make it stop.
