i'm at the other end of the spectrum. the speaker was torpedoed by the lunatic fringe for not being crazy, destructive, and disruptive enough. the two most likely replacements are definitely even more crazy and destructive than mccarthy but the GOP won't ever unite behind anyone that isn't; too much of their caucus are also wingnuts.

it boggles my mind that we got here and that so many folks still don't see the GOP for what they are and what they are trying to do. yes, they own the press and shape the story but who, with any brains, is buying what the mainstream press sells these days? it's not like the lies are terribly clever or plausible.
