Years ago I predicted Republicans in their desperation to win and for lack of an actual popular platform would have to pivot further and further right, appealing to more extremists. This because Democrats effectively absorbed any decent policy platforms they once held. They are thus only holding on by 1) Lies, 2) Right-wing nut jobs, and 3) The Electoral College + Gerrymandering.
Now, they’ve forked themselves. If they try to put the brakes on appealing to racist sexist uneducated bigots, then they alienate those same people and it backfires for them. They’ve hitched their party to Trump and I’m loving it.
This is why they now openly embrace un-democratic and un-American views about how to run a government. If they seize power, they will do everything possible to have minority rule (theirs) encoded into the system they use to replace the American one.
