A lot of people have been talking recently about the crazy talk that has come from several state GOP organizations.
What people haven’t noticed is how badly the craziest of the crazies have done in recent years. Let’s review.

The Oregon GOP made headlines yesterday for saying something pretty psychotic.
Maybe all the losing made them crazy?
Oregon has 7 members in Congress. Only one of them is a Republican.
In Oregon, the GOP is in the minority in both the State House and the State Senate.

And as bad as that is, they actually lost ground during the Trump years. The Oregon GOP lost the Secretary of State office. And lost 1 State Senate seat and 2 State House seats during the Trump years.
The Texas GOP made some headlines for adopting some QAnon slogan about “the storm.” But the storm hit the party over the past four years. Down 2 US House seats, 2 State Senate seats and 12 State House seats. Trump won the state by a slimmer margin than any Republican in 20+ years
The Pennsylvania GOP is making it clear that its heart belongs to Trump. But they’re down 3 US House seats, 6 State Senate seats and 10 State House seats.
And the Ground Zero of Crazy GOP, Arizona, since Trump came in, is down 2 US Senate seats, 1 US House seat, a Secretary of State office, 1 State Senate seat and 4 State House seats.
The places where the state party say the weirdest, most psycho things also seem to be the places where the state parties have had tremendous losses in the past four years.
Not sure why they’re doing it. But they’re unlikely to attract new sane people.
