I can see the QAnon Party taking over the GOP within the first half of this century…

*drily* you mean the 21st Century version of the Know Nothings?

The Native American Party, renamed the American Party in 1855 and commonly known as the Know Nothing movement, was an American nativist political party that operated nationally in the mid-1850s. It was primarily anti-Catholic, xenophobic, and hostile to immigration, starting originally as a secret society. The movement briefly emerged as a major political party in the form of the American Party. Adherents to the movement were to reply “I know nothing” when asked about its specifics by outsiders, thus providing the group with its common name.

I know it’s not exactly the same thing, but we have had this strain of idiocy in American politics for a LONG, LONG TIME.
