"The outside view of the US began to tip when the US Republican party was suborned by religious nuts."

While you're conducting history lessons, the US Republican party wasn't suborned by religious nuts. The party began actively seeking social conservatives during the second Nixon campaign, leveraging Southerners' disdain for integration, official Catholic opposition to the Roe v. Wade abortion decision, and fear of a McGovern presidency. That's when the party first began to de-emphasis on fiscal conservatism, although it didn't lose it's way completely until the Bush II era.

It went out and gathered those nuts on its own.
