I blame closed primaries. That's one thing that California does correctly, is having the "jungle primary" where all the candidates face off rather than just the candidates within each party. You have better chance of the more "appealing to the masses" candidates proceeding to the general rather than extreme party purists

Why nutjobs on far right? It happens when you got too many nutjobs on the far left, as we do.

Exactly! They also have no clue as to how many socialists and communists are hiding behind the "D" next to their name. This list is from 2019. It's probably even larger now:

The republican party has become the party of radical crazies.

Normal people, including c onservatives, can see it.

Well...you can't see that today's dems are not your grandfather or father's dems. Today's dems have gone too far to the left.

They might have gone to the left but there is a huge difference between saying some believes in socialism or communism which I do not agree with and having nuts elected calling for fellow members to be shot in the head, that Jews are firing laser beams creating fires, that Democrats like Hillary are drinking the blood of children, that the School massacres are fake.

If you can’t see the difference between the two, then you are more than being blinded to Party loyalties you are excusing inhuman behavior.

As I say this is one case that comparing it to the extremists on the left pales in comparison.

The Republicans Party is at a reckoning and many are seeing it only the blind cult members can try to excuse these crazies

What do you think all those socialists and communists hiding behind the "D" want?

If you don't think cancel culture is a problem because it doesn't affect you, then I don't know what to say.

You have no clue as to what your grandfather and father's dems were like? Seriously? Do you know what a blue dog democrat is?

I said it earlier this year, Republicans like Marjorie Greene are going to haunt the Republicans for as long as they are in office and their crazy remarks are going to be used against them. Plus the fact that they don’t have the balls to call it out @nd reprimand her is going to split the Party.

Oh and speaking of cancel culture, well love the Republicans in the House using it on Liz Cheney.

But they are going to find out soon enough that Liz Cheney has bigger balls than all of them put together. Get ready boys is going to get bumpy.
