      1. There's an idea out there that the rise of Roy Moore is a harbinger of a Republican crack-up. Alas, no.

      2. There's a long history of liberals thinking "now the GOP has become so extreme it's unelectable": Reagan, Gingrich, Tea Party, Trump.

      3. You'll notice that with each new extremist move, GOP didn't lose elections but won them. Because extremism mobilized base.

          4. In age of negative polarization, where who you hate is more important than what you believe, there is little penalty for extremism.

          5. My larger thoughts on why GOP extremism isn't self-defeating here: https://newrepublic.com/article/145157/republican-party-isnt-cracking-up-its-getting-even-stronger …

          Kind of a prime example of the Overton Window isn't it? That's why the Handmaids Tale is #1. We see them coming, and it will be war.

          This is why all the lefties who rage-voted for Bernie or Stein, saying that Trump would bring in changes, were so stupidly wrong.

          Mobilizing the base. Something Dems are still trying to figure out.

          In a decade Alex Jones will be considered a Republican elder statesman, with new extremists breaking from him.

          Not true. The extremists in 2012 were destroyed. 2016 was a rigged election between voter suppression and Russia's heckling

          Demographics are changing, only way they can win is voter suppression & gerrymandering.
