the GOP. Just about all of them are really freaky when you hear about their past and their ideas. And now with our communications of today it's rather easy for them to coalesce together.

When at the university years ago, we were told by one professor that seriously, about 25% of the population in the US had some serious mental issues they really needed help with ... most do not seek out help. IMO, that 25% is with the GOP. I imagine it could be even more these days. There are some real nut cases walking around and often their behavior is hard to detect unless in a clinical setting.

Well, democrats are not immune to this ether.
