re: #291 Higgs Boson’s Mate

The sad fact is that today’s conservative movement is driven by making shit up and then getting enraged/scared shitless by it. Conservatism has digressed from an ideology to a mental disorder.

It’s not so much that hardcore RW ideology has morphed into insanity, it’s just that it has been abandoned by the majority that isn’t, in many ways, insane. Explains the link to quack medicine, alien forces, and gnosticism (all of which are not inherently political).
