When I think of the modern day GQP, ironically I think of the death of JFK Jr. He is flying in his plane in the dark thinking he is going in a straight line, but it is slowly, but ever increasingly flipping upside down. It's just happening at a rate that is undetectable by his vestibular system which has normalized being upside down. Now the alarms are going off saying he is losing altitude, so he is pulling back on the stick to gain altitude, but instead the plane is heading straight down. It's the same with the GQP. They are upside down, and so when they try to correct they are doing the very opposite of what they think they are doing. Just like JRK Jr. they can't see out the window but everything "feels" OK, so they just keep on pulling back that stick. If they had the ability to look out the window and see that your supporters are increasingly white supremist, bigots, and the hordes of the uneducated, that really should be a warning to double check your instruments and recalibrate.
