I do think that the idea that Republicans have become totally loony is a little bit too overdone and overwrought and based on national politics, not all local.  That started with Trump who taught the loony contingent how to keep the media attention by acting more loony (see Ted Cruz for example.). And there of course are fans dominant in certain districts who like that and want that culture wars stuff and elect people like Taylor Greene.

But this is an example that the other kind of Republicans are still out there:

Behooves to keep in mind that these are the kind of people that Democrats will lose to in many situations. Those "Hispanic" and "Asian" voters looking at the GOP? As far as to solving problems, they tend to like private sector or local government, not lots of  big Federal government one-size-fits-all programs. Sure Social Security is great, but lets not go all the way to one-size-fits-all-federal socialism...that's especially what I see with the voting immigrant people in NYC.They'll go with the conservative Democrat or the Bloomberg or Giuliani, not lefties. And perhaps GOP for the statehouse or even Federal. Remember that for a long time NY State had a Republican Senator (who could also be quite loony at times, an early adopter of the media stunt) - Senator Al "Pothole" D'Amato.
