Conservative Republican, former Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, says that “the once Grand Old Party is being driven into the gutter by a handful of right wing nut jobs,” including Rep. Bob Good (R-VA05), who Bolling claims is “the Democrats best friends.” Of course, it’s not really just “a handful of right-wing nutjobs,” because those people would have minimal power or influence if it weren’t for: a) the MAGA voters who put them in office; b) the vast majority of Republicans who don’t fight back against Trumpism and/or are happy with it; c) the failure of House Republican leadership to form a compromise, coalition-style government with House Democrats; etc. But sure, it’s more comforting for conservative Republicans like Bill Bolling to believe, falsely, that the majority of his party is sane/normal, while only a tiny percentage is off-the-deep-end extremist lunatics. Sad (and scary) to say, but that’s really not the case at this point…
