Only some of them are now fascists but they are sycophantic toward the

history of idiocy.

Fair enough, but I would not limit this to Republicans. The problem
may not be so severe with the Democrats, but it is definitely there.

Seattle is currently (well, as of yesterday or the day before)
undergoing national scrutiny for having a mayor who kept his mouth
open after he had said enough for the situation. He is several steps
closer to the center than his predecessor, but we clearly need a mayor
who is several steps closer to the center than he appears to be.
