The "Obama/Clinton take is straight out of right wing tinfoil hat country.
I also reject your characterization of Trump as "an unhinged psychopath." I think he can be safely characterized using the DSM 5 as narcissistic and exhibiting antisocial behaviors. It is true that under a set of DSM defined mental health disorders he could be characterized as a psychopathic. I believe the less dramatic antisocial behaviors DX which include as a sub-diagnosis Narcissistic Personality disorder and a whole bunch of other shit that doesn't apply (IMO) is a safe bet for amateur psychiatrists like were pretending to be here. Without a psychiatric evaluation by a medical professional skilled in that field of medical practice, throwing terms like "unhinged psychopath" around don't serve any rational purpose.
Do you want to compare far right to far left zealots in the House and Senate to see who has more influence? Bring it on.
My view is that I'm not plugged into congressional currents involving far right and far let influence on legislation. If I understand correctly how legislation becomes law, there is historical precedent for compromise that prevents one political view from dominating; it's back room compromise. Despite the Congressional drama that the American press (clearly with left leaning bias) wants to portray is a bunch of crazy right wingers obstructing the president's (and other's) progressive agenda, in the end there has been compromise on key bills - the way it's supposed to work. While there is a notably greater partisan divide these days, I'd assess that a lot of the resistance to Biden's legislation is born out of a rejection of left leaning progressivism (the government paying off student loans is a good example of the free money shit progs revel in. Of course, that resistance immediately gets attacked as racist, mysoginistic and unamerican by a willing press carrying the water for America's leftist elitist crowd.
