And time once again to revisit Richard Hofstadter’s Paraniod Style in American Politics…when he wrote this essay, people like her were on the fringe, outliers. Now, somehow, they have moved to center stage and seized the commanding heights of the GOP…

This sounds like the time (30+ years ago) that the democratic party in parts of Illinois was so moribund that it was taken over by Lyndon LaRouche.

Lets see, this piece of work, Sharron Angel, Christine “I’m not a witch” O’Donnell, Todd Akin, and then there’s the ones who get in – Senator Snowball, comes to mind. How the media have been able to keep up the “both sides” facade without the entire public collectively throwing up in absolute disgust is one of the great mysteries of our age. Shouldn’t there be headlines "The GOP nominated yet another complete fucking lunatic for the U.S. Senate?

What a fucking kook. How is this any different than pledging allegiance to Heaven’s Gate or Jim Jones’ Peoples Temple? I don’t get how this group got even an ounce of mileage in the press for being a legitimate political base for tRump without the necessary caveat each and every time that they’re a cult, completely bonkers and an embarrassment to anyone that takes their legitimacy seriously. So many of the groups that support tRump have such a tenuous grip on reality and anyone wanting that kind of support is as nuts as they are.

And this folks is the state of the GOP in Oregon and elsewhere. They have devolved from the party of Lincoln and T.R. to full on lunatics.

When Phillip Roth wrote the novel the Plot against America he envisioned far right nationalists like a Lindbergh. I doubt folks as far out as this would have entered his mind. Even science fiction writers would be bemused.

I hope McConnell and his folks at the Republican Senate fundraising arm are constantly asked questions about her.

Not to be nasty but the woman does not seem very bright. She’s full of platitudes and inane conspiracy crap with nothing original on board. The thing that sets her apart is not the goofy shit she believes in but that she’s goofy enough to believe them.

I would love to see a live televised debate with her in it. Even if it were just against other Republicans. I bet it’d be hilarious!

Of course the dumbest, crookedest and craziest of all of them got elected: Donald Trump.
