How do you know when a political party is out of touch with reality.
When a political party in some states, advocates measures that could put protestors in jail for up to a year, that political party is out of touch with reality.
When a political party advocates large tax cuts without paying for them despite what history teaches us about such proposals, that political party is out of touch with reality.
When a political party actively attracts fringe political candidates whose positions on issues may be to the right of the alt-right, that political party is out of touch with reality.
When a political party sets up its own fake news propaganda machine across the nation, that political party is out of touch with reality.
When the leader of a certain political party gives credence to the complaints of White Supremacists, condemns people for exercising their first amendment rights and apologizes to the authoritarian leader of Turkey for his thugs getting indicted for attacking protestors, that political party is out of touch with reality.
When the leading political party in this country is dysfunctional and can not lead causing states and cities to take matters into their own devices on issues like the environment, that political party is out of touch with reality.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Grand Ole Party is out of touch with reality and we need to work on either mending it (if its members want it) or getting responsible public servants that will lead with competence and move this country forward.
