But nothing like the erstwhile GOP...
The Republican Party, by contrast, is both fractured and increasingly extreme. Tens of millions of Republican voters have embraced beliefs that are simply wrong: that Obama was born in Kenya, that Donald Trump was cheated out of re-election, that Covid vaccines don't work, that human beings aren't causing climate change. A crowd of Republican-aligned protesters violently attacked the Capitol in 2021, assaulting police officers and causing several deaths. Prominent Republican politicians, including Trump, have spoken positively about that attack and more generally about political violence. David Leonhardt

'The ouster [of McCarthy] captures the degraded state of the Republican Party in this era of rage,' wrote The Wall Street Journal editorial board, a reliable voice of conservatism.
Degraded. That is putting it mildly.

It's like I was born in an alternate timeline, that crashed into this one. Who are these people? But in actuality you read about it as it was happening. You lost friends and relatives to it. It comes down to money and power in the end.
Albaby shows us we became more liberal at the border. I don't mind being more conservative there to get something done, but the Rs are in "no compromise" mode. Helluvamess.

The They/Them Taliban has....is....and possibly could deprive Dems of a real majority.
If the they/them Taliban got out of the way....I frankly fear some on the Dem bench.
