>>the GOP has changed substantially in recent years.
Both parties have.
Both have gotten more extreme and more polarized.
From Antifa to the "Alt-Right"
Saying that only the GOP has changed is only looking at one side.
>is that the GOP is now seen as a party that entertains such nutters.
That is largely due to media coverage which only highlights the nutters from the GOP, never the Left, and never any Sensible Members. For example you spoke of Obama and how the GOp embraced the "racial joke" birther non-sense, did you ever see this video on your news of John McCain?
Granted this is from the 2008 election and maybe that is outside your scope of "recent years"
There are just as many crazy people in the Democratic Party as the Republican Party. and I say that as a supporter of the King of Crazy parties, Libertarian party, where we had a guy strip on the stage of the National Convention last year....
American Politics... when it stops being crazy I will be worried
