   The GOP has yet to realize that running on an anti-abortion, pro-gun, anti-vaccine, pro book ban, anti-trans, pro-Russia platform isn’t going to win over new voters. It’s going to bring ruin upon their party.

   And they will have deserved it.

     But they'll drag down and kill as many other people as they can before that.

     This has gone so far beyond wanting to "win over new voters."

     They. Don't. Care.

     The GOP's only agenda is to grab and keep power by any means. Democrats as usual are arranging the silverware while the food is being stolen from their plates.

     The GOP is working on hate using the culture war as they are working on ending democracy, backed by oligarchy and corporations. Seems to me money is power.

     @georgetakei I hope that to be the case, but then I also remember, on the eve of the 2016 election, how the candidacy of Donald Trump was supposed to be the death knell of the Republican Party. Now, I fear there is no end to how far the GOP might fall into fascism (it was, I understand now, already well on its way before 2016). But if the GOP is finally in its death throws, it's still going to take concerted effort to keep it from becoming a murder-suicide, the rest of America its victim.

     @georgetakei I think they're just counting on preventing enough of certain demographics from voting.
