The Trumpian-side of the Republican Party has attracted candidates and elected officials that eschew science and clutch at conspiracy theories. Because this nation still embraces the inane 2-party system, this provides voters with an impossible choice; conservatives are forced to support bat shit crazy candidates or jump to vote for candidates that don't support conservative values to distance themselves from the madness.
A Republican legislator in Oklahoma has just proposed a Bigfoot Trapping season. He says issuing a state hunting license and tag could help boost tourism.
From a marketing standpoint, this is brilliant. From a public policy standpoint...WTF?
