Also recall that as insane as the post-9/11 right was, the anti-Bush conspiracies were also bizarre — people would tell me he *deliberately* flooded the Lower 9th Ward (to save the rich neighborhoods from the water) or framed the Taliban to build some kind of pipeline. — PolitiTweet.org

I think people forget how insane the climate of Bush’s first term was, we just didn’t have social media so we weren’t constantly *marinating* in the madness in the same way. But the actual US House of Representatives, not a weird fringe group, renamed french fries. — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t know how you add it up or measure it, but collective insanity is as high as it’s been in my lifetime.
