Trump's gop has been extreme to levels not seen for generations so yes it is quite new. Previously Republicans attempted to pretend they cared about a number of things, now if they hate gays and Democrats and foreigners enough publicly, that's the only thing they need to be elected

Were you alive during the Iraq War, Operation Fast and Furious and/or COVID? What basis do you use to measure "extremity?"

I think you're operating from a very cherry picked and limited set of facts about political operations over the past 50 years.

They shot JFK and still act like they have no clue how it happened. They murdered a president and felt they didn't have to get justice for him.

Ahh yes operation fast and furious, conservatives favorite gotcha that is in no way comparable to the current administration in terms of extremeness or cruelness. And good job using ageism to try and win your terrible argument, it was a really compelling argument
