The Republican Party and the Batshit Insane Factor

Well, the Republican party gave up on objective reality and ran an entire campaign based on lies and bullshit and lost. So you'd think they'd change tack now. The trouble is, how do you find your way back to reality after denying it exists for so long? The Republican Party gave free reign to its teabagging attack loonies and now it is full of them and they're going to attack anyone who attempts to move the party away from batshit insane towards less batshit insane. I just don't know how this is going to play out. It's a worry because one of the functions of the opposition is to keep the government grounded in reality and I don't see how they can do that when they're off floating in the Gamma Quadrant. Our own opposition spends a lot of time beyond the orbit of Pluto, but at least they are still under the gravitational influence of the sun.

Oh, and if you don't think the Republican Party is batshit insane you might want to take this little test:

1. Is the earth more than 6,000 years old?

2. Is there such a thing as global warming or is it all a lie?

3. Is there such a thing as evolution or is the diversity of life on earth the work of some sort of magic sky wizard?   

4. Does two people of the same sex getting married hurt anyone?  And I don't mean hurt your stupid fucking feelings.

Now I'm not saying the Democratic Party is sane on these issues, but they are clearly less batshit insane when it comes to this stuff than the Republican Party.
