“Buckley’s National Review, where I was the literary editor through the 1990s, remains as vital and interesting as ever. But more characteristic of [right-wing] leadership are figures on TV, radio and the Internet who make their money by stirring fears and resentments. With its descent to baiting blacks, Mexicans and Muslims, its accommodation of conspiracy theories and an increasing nastiness and vulgarity, the [right-wing] movement has undergone a shift toward demagoguery and hucksterism. Once the talk was of “neocons” versus “paleocons.” Now we observe the rule of the crazy-cons.”

Republicans will never admit to doing anything wrong.
All the deficits they ran up under Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 don't exist. All the war spending that was kept out of the budgets and not paid for was perfectly responsible. All the borrowing they did under Bush to pay for their massive spending more than justifies the tax cuts for the rich. In fact, staring at the destruction they caused in 99% of America, they want to extend the cuts.
The more crazy they act, the more they believe their own shit. Amazing.
