I'm struggling to figure out the logic behind this one; will have to
noodle on it some more.

The Republican Party used to be the "adults in the room." They're a
careening shitshow dumpster fire these days - Jewish space lasers, M
Taylor Greene talking about God's wrath, Boebert jerking off in Colorado theaters, George Santos the megagrifter, and the regular insular
infighting between whoever happens to have the job of speaker and the
rest of them.
