It already is. I've received multiple death threats over the years, haven't you?
If you're a participant on these kind of forums and not ruffling some feathers then IMHO you're doing it wrong. CT is mostly synonymous with counter-culture. Other groups like BLM and ANTIFA are also counter-culture. So were Occupy Wall-Street. So were Anonymous.
CT is the only mainstream counter-culture that leans Conservative(by US standards). I would include NRA, but they're constitutionally granted and I don't think that can classify as a counter-culture although I agree that it may to about half the country.

That said, I would never recommend a Husky to someone unless they knew exactly what they were getting into. They make for some cute videos, but in reality they have a lot of other negative traits which aren't so cute. The biggest challenge with them is they're about as bright as a fence post and they're strung like a banjo wire with infinite energy. Oh, and I'm pretty sure their ancestors are Martians.
I think Huskies are pretty neat dogs and seem fairly intelligent as far as as dogs go. They'll tear stuff up though.
I'm not sure what breed she was, but an old family friend had one of the dogs that didn't make the cut during police training. It wasn't just doberman, it was something else. It was fascinating discovering the training she received.
They had pool parties with lots of family, but nobody else was really born in my generation, and I typically end up either conversing with the older folks or playing with the dog. I would just play with her throwing the tennis ball and I discovered that if I did certain things she would react a certain way or bark. For instance, I could throw the ball and tell her to wait and she would. If I threw the ball into the trees, for example, and I tell her to find it, she would not quit unless I called her off, even if she couldn't find it. She almost always did, though.
They clearly used a tennis ball to train. She was extremely responsive to the tennis ball, specifically.
