NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)

[Skywatcher]

@wguy123

I don’t know how any sane, smart person can still associate with the right. Their elected leaders are all dumbshits. Trump, this moron, MTG, Boebert, Gym Jordan, Gaetz, Cruz, etc, etc.

The raving right seems to have a majority in Michigan.

This weeks episode of “This American Life” about the dysfunction of the Michigan Republican party is worth a listen if you have time., or if you prefer reading there is also a transcript.

Basically the crazies decide to elect one of their own as chairman despite having no experience or business contacts for fund raising. When the party eventually finds itself broke, one faction develops that calls for her ouster on the (probably unfounded) grounds that she embezzled the money. Both those in favor and against her ouster blame the other side of being part of a Democrat conspiracy to destroy the party from within, and there is much face eating and schadenfreude to be had by all.

IMHO here is the money quote:

But what’s brought them all together running this party is their lack of trust in any kind of political leadership. They are a very suspicious, conspiracy-minded group. And that’s how they look at everything, including each other.
