Paul Krugman also believes Reagan peddling the Laffer Curve fairytale is where the Republicans departed the reality-based world, an opinion which I agree with. However I think the point where Republicans really went full on bonkers was when they accused Bill Clinton of murdering Vince Foster and wasted millions of our tax dollars on 4 separate investigations of that vicious, insane slander. Brett Kavanaugh aggressively conducted the final one for Ken Starr to the tune of $2 million. I thought that should have been brought up when he was being vetted for our highest court given what an abuse of our legal system that was.
The Bush administration’s absolute refusal to listen to all those dire warnings from their top national security experts that Bin Laden was going to attack us is the next example of a complete refusal to accept reality, in my opinion. The handwriting was on the wall in big, bold letters long before Trump.
The media chose to ignore all of those egregious breaks with reality — and still ignores those facts in their desperation to pretend that Trump is an aberration.
I think the 2004 Republican convention when the delegates brandished the purple band aids to mock John Kerry's purple heart showed a serious break with reality.
I completely forgot that. But I do remember how shocked I was to read that at the Republican convention in 96 they were selling pins with Hillary on a broomstick. I was also shocked that the media shrugged it off. You can bet if Democrats had done something like that to Barbara Bush there would have been a huge outcry in the media.
One of my brothers-in-law was a Marine and bought a box of those because he's a Republican voter. I explained the significance to him and he didn't believe me. So I showed him the video on CNN. He hasn't voted since, that I know of. "I ain't voting for a party that disrespects the military and I sure as hell ain't voting for no Democrat."

Yes.
