It is clear that the GOP has a very large number of extremists in the ranks of its Senate and House delegations. The mental state of many of these is rightfully questionable based on their past views and comments. How is it that people like this are getting elected in some places?

The Republicans their media as well as Trump have for years fed their supporters conspiracy theories that have made them feel victimized and that the opposing side is evil. Funny because the Right loves to say that the Left does this, but in fact they have been doing it in steroids compared to the Left.

They have fed the monster and now the monster is eating them and they have no idea how to handle it. Most are trying to ride the monster and that won’t end well.

Right now they are attacking their own even more than the Democrats.

Their current targets are Republican Governors like Kemp and Doucy. Congressional Representatives like Liz Cheney and Kinzinger , Senators like Romney and Sasse.

You must be 100% for the Cult and its leader and espouse all the crazy controversies they believe in or you become a RINO

Not great for our country, we do need at least two healthy sane political parties.

It's a bit long, but you really should watch this interview with Bandy Lee. She explains how insanity can be, essentially, contagious. It's how cults form:

It's what they want. There simply is no other answer.

Sane Republicans are leaving the party and Congress in droves.

Portman is out and Marjorie Taylor Green is in.

A party of right wing extremists and whack jobs.

In many red areas, sane/moderate people have been leaving the GOP in droves. So much of what's left are extremists who want to vote for the same. They gang up on politicians who are centrist and like the GOP of old, to where they don't stand a chance. Therefore the GOP is pretty much dead, and now we have the trumplican party. Which will destroy itself and implode soon enough, just like their messiah did.

So we have two or three in Congress. Long way to catch up to the 250 Democrat extremist nutjobs.

We have two or three extremists rightists on this board. Long way to catch up to the hundreds of leftist extremists nuts. For example, any leftist who posts in this thread other than simply to troll.

Excuses, Excuses. Listen to Marjorie Greene talk and tell me which Democrat compares to the ZbS she spouts.

But keep on, the more nuts the Republicans elect the further the general population will run from them.

Now tell me you believe the Jewish Space laser she is talking about
