This stuff is getting really hard to ignore, which is part of the plan, of course.
If Republicans can garner enough attention with Crazy Theories, Insane Supporters, and Bizarre Backers, then their psychotic candidates, all across the land, will, by comparison, be automatically seen as sedate and tame and cute as li'l baby pit vipers, all worn out, tangled up in a ball, sound asleep and at rest.
We already know, beyond all doubt, and clarity -- and the frayed and tattered edges of our long-suffering patience -- that Republicans only respond to Feelings, like fear and paranoia. Everyone else, to some degree at least, responds to Facts, like information and evidence.
This is one big part of why we've spent the last eight years -- and more -- having a logjam in everything we do and say and attempt: No one is speaking the other's language. We are talking past each other. We resort to our own modes, decipherable only to members of our own camps.
In this scenario, even if one group had something of interest to convey to the other, had that group's improbable interest and attention, there is currently no real way to relay the information -- short of interpreters, hand signs, silent movie theatrics, puppet shows, mimes, interpretive dance...
One side has been routinely and continually threatening to pull out all the stops, removing all the few remaining cables of the shabby communications bridge now swaying across the growing chasm between groups.
