The #RepublicanParty, a coalition between Big Business farmers and turkeys who'll vote for Christmas (Red Scare cowards, apocalyptic white nationalists, religious fanatics, etc) has fallen to its bizarre, violent radical wing, who obsessed pver policies that are irrelevant to the majority of Americans.
