I don't think you're wrong, but I think claiming it's localized within the GOP downplays the role that Fox News and the broader rightwing commentariat has played in both polarization and norm eroding.

Those two are one and the same. Fox and the wealthy loon groups drive GOP madness and make it impossible to speak reason and win a primary. The party is nothing without the hot air generators that keep it inflated.

Dead right. Trump is both the logical result and amplifier of decades long GOP trends (authoritarianism, norm-breaking, know-nothing ignorance). Trump will kill GOP by splitting base from Wall St/corporate establishment. 2018 wave = impeachment.
