very same political party. I think a few years ago that party must have
suffered a stroke that resulted in massive brain damage, and so now I am
ashamed to belong to the party of Lincoln.

Technically both parties are Lincoln's: the Democrats split off from the
Democratic-Republican party.  Moreover, ideological and candidate shifts
mean neither party retains meaningful connection except in name to what
they were in or before the 1960s - 1970s too, somewhat.

That said, "brain damage" is an apt way to describe the TEA Party's
takeover of the Republicans over the past decade or so.
