These frauds are so used to their echo chambers that they just freesociate whatever they want, intellectual rigor be damned. Why wouldn't they? It's what's always worked since they're in echo chambers that doesn't demand anything but loyalty.
Forget about claims not supported by sourced evidence there aren't even claims made -- just conclusions that it's assumed everyone will agree with because everyone else is in the same echo chamber and agrees as a matter of cult affiliation.
The idea that the Republicans have become super radical just doesn't stand up to scrutiny, particularly when compared to the Democrats, destroying the core conclusion of these people. Since it's an unsupported conclusion, destroying the conclusion destroys the unsupported conclusions that are built around the core conclusion.
In 1992, the Republican view on abortion is that it was morally wrong and should be banned. In 2023, the Republican view on abortion is that it is morally wrong and should be banned. In 1992, the Republican view on gay marriage is that the constitution should be amended to ensure it was banned.

Meanwhile, in 1992 the Democrat view on abortion is "safe, legal, and rare" while the Democrat view in 2023 is that abortion to the moment of birth is acceptable and should abortion should be celebrated. In 1992, the Democrat view on gay marriage is that while the constitution shouldn't be amended it shouldn't be legal (And in 1996 Bill Clinton signed a "Defense Of Marriage Act" into law defining marriage as between one man and one woman) and that was the stance until Obama came out as in favor of gay marriage in 2012. Today, the Democrat view on gay marriage is that if you keep gay porn out of school libraries or think schools shouldn't be bringing kids to drag shows you're a hateful bigot.

In 1992, the Democrat view on crime was that it's bad. In 2023, the Democrat view on crime is that maybe it isn't so bad after all -- many Democrat jurisdictions are effctively legalizing crime on a statutory level, and many DAs are refusing to prosecute crimes.
Does this mean the Republicans are great? Nope. Maybe their viewpoints are wrong -- and in a lot of ways they are. But it does mean that they really haven't changed their views all that much over decades and decades besides becoming more moderate, while especially in the past years the Democrats have gone loco.
A great party probably wouldn't look like either one, but this is what the Americans have, and unfortunately it's what the rest of us end up inheriting since they're the biggest bull in this china shop.
