      My former political party has become the stupid party. They embrace stupidity. Now I know you’ll say the GOP has always been this way, but as a lifelong Republican until 2 years ago, I respectfully disagree. It’s Trump. Trump is stupid, he’s the cult leader, stupidity rules.

      I wouldn't say it was *always* that way. I would, however, say that it's been that way at least since the anti-intellectual revolution under Newt Gingrich in the 1990s, arguably back to Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 and a few years before—in other words, most of my life.

          I will give you that it's gotten a lot worse a lot faster since the rise of Donald Trump, but how did he take the party over in the first place? He couldn't have done it if the groundwork hadn't been laid over *decades* preceding his ride down the escalator at Trump Tower.

          This. Anti-intellectualism is the key, fused with pseudo-religious dogma and a generous helping of unfocused rage. But ultimately it's all about getting mad at people for being smart publicly.

          Having been paying attention in opposition since first-term Reagan, I see a sense in which both sides have a point here. If one doesn't see real antecedents in Reagan and especially Gingrich and Palin, one isn't looking hard enough. That said, I did feel like ...

          Pretty much, and that started happening in a big way during the 1970s, when Reagan challenged Ford for the party nomination (and almost beat him) the cycle before he won the nomination and then the Presidency on 1980.
