All the GOP has done for the last 15-20 years is normalize fucking delusional conspiracy theories--each more ridiculous than the last--with little to no consequence.

The media and every politician in this country should have laughed them out of the public sphere back when we still had the chance. Instead, they keep making all this delusional shit fucking mainstream among their party, and now the entire country is forced to suffer for it.
