I have to admit, I love the fact that James Lankford – an establishment conservative who has routinely placated and bent the knee to right-wing Christian Taliban extremists in his party just to win reelection – is now being challenged by that same maniacal wing of his own party.
It's truly delicious irony, and as I've mentioned in the past, is basically the modern-day political equivalent of Frankenstein.
Lankford helped create that right-wing monster and his career has benefited from it, but now that he and the rest of the GOP establishment have lost control of the demented beast, they've had to watch in horror as it marches out into the rural countryside, dead set on destroying them and everyone else in its path that doesn't buy into an authoritarian racist worldview or insane conspiracy theories.
