It's not clear (to me anyway) that the GOP is ready for sanity. I don't think I'd vote for him but at least he's not a raving lunatic, or someone who supports such people.

I don’t believe they actually want sanity. Total chaos is the goal because it gives them cover to fuck up every possible thing about our society.

When Kasich ran in 2016, during the debates he would give moderate answers in a calm tone. He was essentially ignored by the rest of the circus clowns who were pissing on each other’s shoes to see who could push the fringe furthest right. Maybe the GOP will learn their lesson, but I doubt it

A lot of this also stems from the media. My old job I worked at in 2016, we had CNN on the TV all the time. Onne thing I noticed was that CNN would not keep him off the TV. I even said to myself he was going to win because they gave him waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much airtime.
People like Trump shouldn't be brought to the front like he is. He should have been ignored.

but it wasnt and isnt the fringe. Any opinion poll today finds that the majority of the party believes that a certified US presidential election was false, that January 6th was a false flag attack by “antifa”

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
