The modern GOP never was sane. This is a party that has accused every sitting Democratic President in recent memory of being a communist.

This is the party that has proposed the demolition of social security. This is the party that has cultivated cultural conflict, racial conflict, and sexism as a political foundation upon which their party and their base stands. This is the party that prosecuted an illegal war of aggression. This is the party that demanded war with Iran.

This is the party that questioned Obama’s citizenship.

This is the party that created a torture state and denied it was torture.

This party isnt sane. They denied the objective scientific consensus backing the validity of anthropogenic climate change. They denied what is now plain to see for anyone living in the south-west, in a low-lying coastal region, or in a state like Colorado whose rivers are drying up.

That is insanity. That insanity has led us to the climate “mitigation” future that now even the Republicans hasten to deny
