It just shows how sick too many Republicans have become, and their representatives bow to the majority in the Republican primaries and vote a sick agenda. 

Classic refers to maturity level. But the Republicans oppose measures now that would have passed unanimously in the era that you Mr. Brower wrote about in the obituaries when TN Republican Senator Brock supported environmental laws. Now Republicans vote against them almost all the time. That is a matter of record. Their current Republican senators would not support these laws today. The gun issue as well as the environmental issue have become cultural issues. Gun laws and environmental laws as well as measures to help the poor and people of color or stimulate the economy for all are resisted on a cultural basis. 

That is a measure of total immaturity. Republicans like Classic Xer cling to their identity, and they feel that measures like gun reform, which are intended only to solve horrific problems, are really insults and attacks on their white and rural/exurban identity by "liberal elites." Republicans no longer vote on the basis of what will work, but only to defend the memes, slogans and ideologies that now define them.

This culture must be defeated and shrunk, one way or another. I leave the how and the best means up to you guys.

It's good to remember Lincoln and his certainty about fools.  Today's GOP messaging is certainly toxic, honed to a fine edge over the last several decades. It still has a real shelf life, and the Use By Date is already in the past.
