    Lol as the article indicates, things are happening. Every election after Trump won the presidency has been the GOP losing. Midterms and even his 1st reelection campaign have been decent losses for the GOP. Things don’t seem like they will get better for them anytime soon, especially since they have almost not changed at all to the electoral feedback.

      They are letting a twice impeached rapist run for president again while being embroiled in multiple legal battles including trying to overthrow our government.

          Republican “leaders” could, in fact, do something. They simply choose not to. In almost all cases, they are paid not to, the corrupt human garbage that they are.

          For instance, they could man up and tell Trump to shut his god damn mouth, and stop breaking the law, because these things are unacceptable. Yet they refuse to do so, and continue to provide cover for him.

          And thus, as you predicted 8 years ago, the GOP continues to disintegrate.

          I wasn’t referring to just Republicans. Our government is a disgrace… all of it.

              That isn’t what I’m saying, and not even applicable to the conversation. To be clear, Republicans are far worse than Democrats. I’m saying that even the Democrats aren’t doing a good enough job. If you think otherwise then I don’t know what to tell you.

      Sure, but they still have a house majority, control the Supreme Court (and a lot of judges in other courts). They basically still have all three branches of government in a stranglehold. That is far from seeing any serious consequences, and they will be able to fuck shit up for everybody for an indefinite time into the future.

      This is the paradox of the Republican party, though. When they’re losing is when they’re winning. It’s a nihilistic apocalyptic group that thrives on the fears of people, much like a terrorist organization. Despite everything pointing to them being a diminishing minority, they’re able to control or paralyze much of federal and state governments, and they’re going to continue to do this for decades to come.
