Michael Tomansky in the Guardian:

But they can’t stop sounding insane, at least for a while yet. Because for the right in my country right now, politics isn’t an aerna for doing actual work to confront actual issues. It’s an emotive stage on which to act out greivances about everything they think is wrong with American culture. And in this mindset, persuading people outside the group isn’t the point. The point is just establishing your bona fides as part of the group. So they scream socialism because it makes them feel part of the group, which makes them feel stronger, but it makes them objectively weaker, because 65% of America thinks they’re crazy.
