The Republican party is not a real political party. It's a clown car full of white-supremacists, sex offenders, money launderers, Russian influence peddlers, a cokehead turned pillow salesman, washed-up former celebrities, deadbeat dads, incels, greedy billionaires, ruthless union-busting businessmen, hillbillies, anti-vaxxers, gun-toting conspiracy theory nutjobs, and Bible-thumping misogynist homophobes.
Everybody in this clown car is the reason your mother warned you to be wary of strangers. And both halves of the clown car will readily agree that the other half is a total embarrassment, but they're all still proudly joining together under one stupid red-hat banner, because each of them is getting one thing he wants.
