It's getting worse.
What's most disturbing about the antics of the junior legislators on the Right isn't even so much that they have extreme, radical opinions. There are always a few unhinged firebrands in the houses of Congress, voters like a news-maker. But in former times, it was considered the job of the Party itself to police its members somewhat, to curb the excesses and establish boundaries. The Democrats still do this in spades. The GOP makes only the barest of gestures of doing so. Rather, the full weight of their ire falls only on those they see as traitors to the Party, never on traitors to the nation.
