The Conversation by Markos: The GOP’s malignant weirdness



Why are Republicans so weird?



Seriously. There was a time when our disagreements were over taxes, war, and
reproductive rights. Those were profound disagreements, but they took place in
a shared reality. We agreed on the basic facts, even if we fought bitterly over
what to do about them.



Now they’re a toxic blend of corruption, incompetence, weird obsessions, and
spectacular self-owns. They aren’t just governing badly. They’re making a
mockery of everything they touch.



For example, does Elon Musk really have nothing to focus on beyond Hollywood
casting decisions?

Then there’s Trump’s handling of E. Jean Carroll, the advice columnist whom he
was found liable for sexually abusing. Trump remains obsessed with the$5.6

judgment against him. At this point, it obviously isn’t about the money. Five
million dollars means nothing to him. It’s about continuing to punish the woman
who dared hold him accountable.



My God, he is vile.

Meanwhile, there is always a never-ending list of this administration’s
malicious incompetence.

Trump’s aesthetic tastes have always been a crime against good judgment. I
would gladly pay pay-per-view prices to watch the next Democratic president rip
every gaudy gold ornament out of the White House and the rest of Washington.

Electing the right people matters. Who wields power matters. Competence
matters.



Finally, Republicans don’t have a monopoly on weird.
