Ehh, that's a title that I would think that there's just too many contenders to select one. That probably shouldn't be surprising, though, given that the current Republican party is pretty much being run as a political crime family.

I might have missed it, but has anyone else mentioned the latest Ted Cruz nonsense, this time about Whether Elizabeth Warren has a penis?

This is not immediate stupidity from a particular politician, but rather some fallout from mass stupidity/evil.
‘Mind-blowing what they tried to convince us of’: Florida teachers on new, ‘very skewed’ curriculum Really short version? White supremacist lite apologism, by the look of it. Can't let white kids be exposed to most US History where white people collectively wronged everyone else in so many ways. DeSantis Republican fascism at work, with a cooperative side of Christian Nationalist revisionism. |

The GOP has gone crazy.
These are all from one Trump speech. How times have changed: Speech: Donald Trump Holds a Campaign Rally in Rochester, Minnesota - October 30, 2020 "Biden and the far left incite violence with their vile anti-Police rhetoric" "In a second term, we will increase funding for law enforcement." "With your support, we will continue to... support our great police" "Biden and the left wing Democrats treat law enforcement like criminals" "These wealthy liberal hypocrites want to defund the police" |

This begs a simple question: How are all these "bad guys" going to be identified as "bad guys" "on sight"? By the tattoos on their foreheads? Their Star Trek red shirts? Or is this proposal simply to gun down anyone this idiot even suspects of being "a Fed" just in case they are, and then "let God sort them out"?
It's raging gun-nuttery plus complete paranoia plus raging hysterical lunacy. A Perfect recipe for policing safe streets in Florida. |

Are these the "kitchen table" issues Democrats are supposed to be losing on?

He will still get at least 45% of the vote. What really saddens me is even Mitch McConnell is open about what a garbage crop of candidates the GQP is running, but even then, there's a good chance they can retake the Senate. Hell, JD Vance will likely win Ohio. What is wrong with the Democrats?

It's an unfortunate situation all around, but it's honestly not the Democratic Party's responsibility (or ability, really) to fix the Republican Party. That HAS to be done by the Republicans, themselves. Just like it's not the Republican Party's responsibility to "fix" the Democratic Party.
Elsewhere, though, for more of what's wrong with the Republican Party, a Oklahoma GOP hopeful who's previously said that it's totally just to stone homosexuals for being homosexuals is still pretty terrible. |

Haven't we had posters on this forum who suggested that it is all the Democrat's fault that the Republican party is now inundated with "the dumb."
