I still don't think liberal America has started to reckon adequately with how many millions of brains have been irreparably rotted by right-wing mediahttps://twitter.com/pookleblinky/status/1282483254357098496 …

That's probably fair. I think what will be interesting is if it proves to be a useful strategy in the longterm. There are left-crackpots, but by and large, the party does not boost their signal the way you have Q-Anon supporters running for GOP office.
Obviously you have the gateway brain-melt of a certain 'news' station and talk-radio that feeds into that. But all of that, to some degree, is sustained by the political patronage of the party. What I wonder is if they don't reconsider if it gets them all unelected...

I mean, if we look at the timeline of the phenomenon, it doesn't seem to be associated with winning? Like, the last election where the GOP won a majority of, like, *voters* was the 2014 midterm? I think the oddity of the EC-win in 2016 despite the pop-vote failure obscures this

But the (for now) efficiently distributed voter-coalition wasn't part of a clever plan - it was an accident. Luck. And if it only swings the results by 2-3 points, that doesn't help if the crackpots cause a party to lose by 8 or 9.
