The Republicans are modern day Nazi's trying to undermine our democracy, and just like who cares what the Nazi's thought about us, so it matters not what the Republicans think about us! Some Republicans are NAZI's -- at the fringe. While supporting him mostly, this NAZI fringe also condemns Trump because he let his beautiful white daughter "marry a dirty jew." Most Republicans are not NAZI's. They are COWARDS however, for not standing up against this portion of Adolf Trump's base. I believe we are a an historic fork in the River USA. I predict there will be headlines or a magazine cover that has two prizefighters; Trump vs. Garland. And I predict that Garland will prevail though Trump himself may never go to jail. I also believe there will be Republican defections from the Trump extremism. The usual suspects plus some surprises; maybe even Lindsay Graham or Grassley. MAYBE abused Mike Pence or wimpish Romney. But not the mainstream Nikki Haley's or Ted Cruz's, or the Church of Sarah Palin and the other fringe like Boebert and MTG. (Women didn't save us.) If I am wrong, then the Democrats will need to become authoritarian leaders in a civil war and we also lose our Democracy.

"You even defended both Nixon and Regan, both of whom were monsters." Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, Idi Amin, and Stalin were monsters; these 2 weren't .You're trivializing the term. As for defending them, California is leading the green revolution because of policies by Raygun and Arnold as guvs, and Nixon's EPA. I can find good things each of the R's has done for me, except Trump, and maybe Ford, who wasn't there very long. == "You seemed to see my castigating Republicans as being bigoted" When that's all you have, going back for 100 years, you are. == "You seem to think what the Republicans think about us is germane" I think that, if you and the R's keep seeing mirror images when looking at opponents, we are fucked. I don't think the union can survive when 2 more-or-less equally accepted realities finally collide I certainly hope our reality is the real one, but that doesn't count for much when matter meets anti-matter. == "that danger is not as subtle as it was a few years ago, and still you seem to struggle seeing it" Well, let's see; they can take back the House in Nov, make Trump or Newt Speaker, impeach, but not remove, Biden and our 3 Justices, investigate Pelosi, throw AOC off of her committees, put their own vote counters in place in many different localities, take over the Senate in '24, tell us how stupid we were for getting rid of the filibuster, give President For Life Trump whatever powers and whatever helpers he wants, free the jailed insurrectionists and give them Presidential Medals of Freedom, and lock up and/or exterminate not only their political opponents,including those of us on SI who get narked by the Trumpers on FAMD, but also all of The Other in the country, and then declare the state religion will be Trumpianity
