On the way to Crazy Town

In a rational society, the likes of Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Lauren Boebert, with their adherence to bizarre and dangerous flights of fancy, would be put into straight jackets, given a double doses of Thorazine, and confined to a padded cell as a danger to others.

Tom McClintock, CA 4^th district, noted that "every party has its lunatic fringe"—which is true—but few countries have well established major political parties a majority of whose elected representatives are whack-jobs and lunatics, or at least are indistinguishable from them.
