@wdlindsy I get so sick of commentators saying that Trump corrupted the GOP, when all he really did was plant in the fertile ground that Reagan tilled. It was the decades of anti-science like Creationism and climate denialism, gaslighting about healthcare, bullshit stories describing “welfare queens driving Cadillacs” and all the rest of it that primed the Republican electorate to reject facts and embrace whatever fantasies their leaders choose to push their way.
