And the truth of the following is self-evident from Trumpanzee posts here.

"The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.
Yes, it's Republicans' fault Congress is so polarized
It's what has happened in Congress over the last five decades, according to a report from the Pew Research Center examining roll call votes of lawmakers beginning in the early 1970s.
Using a system that ranks members of Congress from -1 (most liberal) to 1 (most conservative), Pew found that the average Senate Democrat (-.06) and House Democrat (-.07) have grown only marginally more liberal between the 1970s and today.
The average Senate (+.28) and House Republican (+.25) have, however, grown significantly more conservative over that same period.
