I understand this possibility, however large swathes of more moderate republicans have already left after Jan 6. I dont think they can increase their base of lunatics. So the only thing they can do is keep the existing crazies energized, and restrict voting rights. Still problematic of course, but to a point. It can help their base shrinking. Midterms will reveal the actual state, of course.That's the optimistic take. The pessimistic one is that the far-right Trumpists will destroy any opposition and the rest of the party will follow along. Hopefully it's different now that Trump isn't President any longer, but we saw what happened to the Never-Trumpers. They either turned into complete Trump lackeys or were utterly excised from the GOP.
Before 2016 I would have agreed with you, but I've been traumatized.

This is correct. The victory wasnt as close as it is made to be, however it wasnt the complete annihilation of the right that was necessary to end this fascination with authoritarism.Biden didn't defeat American neo-fascism, unfortunately, it'll be back. Maybe I'm being cynical. Hopefully.

If you read the aftermath of the assault it is eerily close to todays climate.

Perhaps the most vile individual ever to be elected to US Congress.
Newt will always be the answer to this.Perhaps the most vile individual ever to be elected to US Congress.
Probably wouldn’t crack the top 20.Perhaps the most vile individual ever to be elected to US Congress.
She's definitely at or near the top. Her pal Matt Gaetz wouldn't be far behind.Perhaps the most vile individual ever to be elected to US Congress.
Modern congresspeople since 1980? Then definitely yes.She's definitely at or near the top. Her pal Matt Gaetz wouldn't be far behind.
I was thinking post-WWIIModern congresspeople since 1980? Then definitely yes.
But compared to the earlier history of Congress, no way.
I’d go post-WWII as well. Definitely in the argument.I was thinking post-WWII
But I don't even think slave-owners in the early 1800s were worse because she would have been all over that if she lived when someone like John C Calhoun was alive.
She actually believes what she says. Ted Cruz on the other hand knows he is lying and does it to gain power. Ted for me is worse.Perhaps the most vile individual ever to be elected to US Congress.
It's an interesting question. Is it worse to actually believe there is a not-so-secret cult of Satan-worshipping, baby-harvesting Democrats and Hollywood celebrities or just being a lying, greedy, self-interested politician willing to appeal to such wing-nuts to stay in power?She actually believes what she says. Ted Cruz on the other hand knows he is lying and does it to gain power. Ted for me is worse.
HOW THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWYER WHO WON A MASSIVE JUDGMENT AGAINST CHEVRON LOST EVERYTHING
Steven Donziger won a multibillion-dollar judgment against Chevron in Ecuador. The company sued him in New York, and now he’s under house arrest.

James O’Keefe certainly threads the needle & has for quite a few years.Still boggles my mind how these PV clowns haven't been whacked yet.
I wonder how many Americans read stuff like "anti-democratic voter suppression bill" and think it's about the democratic party?
It kind of is.I wonder how many Americans read stuff like "anti-democratic voter suppression bill" and think it's about the democratic party?
It is for sure. I'm just wondering whether some people don't think of it as anti-democratic as much as just anti-that-particular-party and then don't see that much wrong with it.It kind of is.
Christ, that’s appalling. What a fecking idiotic take.Tweet
