Crazy People

Paul Krugman on the GOP:

Today’s G.O.P. is...very much a minority party. It retains
some limited ability to obstruct the Democrats, but has no ability to make or
even significantly shape policy. Beyond that, Republicans have become
embarrassing to watch. And it doesn’t feel right to make fun of crazy people.

But?

But here’s the thing: the G.O.P. looked as crazy 10 or 15
years ago as it does now. That didn’t stop Republicans from taking control of
both Congress and the White House. And they could return to power if the
Democrats stumble.

Yes, that is scary.
