Yes and no. It's unfortunate but a sizeable percentage of the Republican electorate are enthusiastic supporters of Trump. This year has really showed me that Republican primary voters are insane... I'm closer to Hillary ideologically than Trump. Maybe it's time to switch to independent.
I'm glad you've finally come around to realize that Republicans are insane. To everyone else in this country and around the world, it is pretty apparent.
Certainly Democrats aren't perfect and there are many flaws with the party that you can point out, but the Republican party has been a shitshow since 2000.
George W. Bush's presidency was a disaster, he was one of the worst president ever. So many things there. Then in 2008 we get Palin as the VP pick and she was a prominent figurehead for about 4-6 years. And then in 2016 we get Trump, and that one speaks for itself.
And this is excluding all the obstructionism and government shutdown nonsense we've seen with GOP Congresses lately. I mean, you're absolutely right. It's just totally insane, and the party has actually done a really good job of representing their insane base.
