This is a truly interesting story about how insane things have gotten in our country. It may be behind a paywall...but the three paragraphs I quote give you all the information you need to consider the OP question.
Eric Greitens, a Republican candidate for the United States Senate in Missouri, released a violent new political advertisement on Monday showing himself racking a shotgun and accompanying a team of men armed with assault rifles as they stormed — SWAT team-style — into a home in search of “RINOs,” or Republicans in name only.
“Join the MAGA crew,” Mr. Greitens, a former Navy SEAL, declares in the ad. “Get a RINO hunting permit. There’s no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn’t expire until we save our country.”
The ad by Mr. Greitens was just the latest but perhaps most menacing in a long line of Republican campaign ads featuring firearms and seeking to equate hard-core conservatism with the use of deadly weapons.
I'd use the word 'dangerous' over 'nutty'. Scary times south of the 49th, for sure.
I get ya. Perhaps I shoulda used "...nutty and dangerous."

I'd hardly call him a hard-core conservative. I believe he's even gone past reactionary into the realm of fascism.

The Thom Hartmann Program
The Texas Republicans had their convention over the weekend, and they came up with the official party platform for the 2022 elections, and the platform says that A: Joe Biden is not actually our president, Donald Trump is, seriously; B: John Cornyn is officially rebuked for discussing gun control with the Democrats. ...and also putting down that they want to change the laws of Texas to make homesexuality "an abnormal lifestyle choice."
