Monday may be the 'clever' artificial deadline set by the Republican panel

[lunatica]

but it will backfire into even more of a tsunami than they’ll be able to ever forget. Historically this will be the dying gasp of a party of white men because from now on they will be a minority. This election women are coming to getya guys. But for every other election after that all the people you oppressed will be in charge. You and your fascist party leader will know that very soon, and you will feel it to your core the way you made everyone else feel it. And when things improve for your core supporters they will leave you too.

Let’s see how clever you feel in less than a generation.

I’m 70 years old and I will live to see this.

1. Not so fast.

May 2016: Is This the End for Republicans? by Matt Taibbi

March 2016: Nominating Donald Trump will end the Republican Party as we know it. So will not nominating him

Also March 2016: "It’s the End of the Line for GOP as We Know It"

This is like Mothra. First there was "Mothra." Then there was "Mothra, Part Two." "Then Mothra, Part Three." Every time you think, "we'll never see Mothra again," don't bet on it.

2. The GOP lies and cheats so well

I never put anything past them. They are sneaky and evil and rich, so they are likely to pull anything to stay in power.

3. All of those articles were actually right

Trump was ‘elected’ two years ago and everything has changed. That’s really f#*@ing fast for politics!

Those writers were absolutely correct. It may take a few more Mithras all within record time but it is happening.

4. Memories, like attention spans, are short. And...

...there is a disconnect between policies and knowing who is responsible for those policies.

Between that and the corruption and the fact that our system so heavily favors rural areas and small states, I'm not holding my breath in waiting for the GOP's demise.

We need to do much more to drastically reduce racism and sexism before we see the Republican Party cease to be viable.

5. It's already happening

You just never hear the good news the way you hear the bad. Just do your part and it will happen.

9. What's already happening?

10. The Republican Party will not be viable much longer

Memories are much longer than is generally perceived.

There’s been a whole new resurgence of the Nixon crimes a
AND Anita Hill’s hearing. People who never heard of them or didn’t know the details have learned the history.

8. Nominating Donald Trump has ended the Republican Party

You'll see.

[Me.]

6. The Thing About Change

is...when it starts to happen it turns into a snowball rolling downhill.

7. Exactly

It takes forever to change something in an instant.
