Yes, it’s not that in absolute terms there aren’t wingnuts just as crazy in Canada, but volume matters and where our system usually manages to weed them out as one rises in rank, in the US, it is a career bonus.

Also, I actually think America is hurt by the influx of foreign wingnuts. David Frum and Dan Senor for example. We’re less crazy because our bugfuck sociopaths gravitate to the US.

“The gist is, ‘I want to see what the president has to say before you expose it to my child.’ Another said, ‘This is Marxist propaganda.’ They are very hostile,” said Patricia O’Neill, a Democrat who is vice president of the Montgomery County School Board, in a district that borders Washington, D.C. “I think it’s disturbing that people don’t want to hear the president, but we live in a diverse society.” What the buggeryfuck is wrong with these people? How often do they say "I want to see what Politician X has to say before you expose it to my child"? Oh, that's right, only for the blackity black president. And fucking Marxist propaganda? These eedjits wouldn't know a Marxist from their own alcohol-filled arseholes. And I got yer Marxist right here.

Actually, I’m not anymore surpised that they are so far on the fringe, but that they are as supported as they are.

Seriously, what is it that makes it possible for republicans to compete with democrats, instead of being rolled into mental institutes while people wonder what caused them to flip.

You may have your right-wing crazies but they aren’t as loud or as powerful as the right-wing crazies in this country. Full stop.

Our non-parliamentary system, winner-take-all elections, gerrymandering, and Dem cowardice have created an interesting pair of parties. The “Democratic Party” is a conglomeration of factions so varied that the party equals in width the British Labor, Conservatives, and Lib Dems combined. Where does that put the Republicans? Equivalent to the National Front…
