Why the Republican Party as we know it is doomed



Because its base is made up of people like Kathleen O’Brien Wilhelm:

Signs that read “Deer Crossing” and the like are going to continue to pop up throughout our country including Avon Lake, but who are these signs for? Deer cannot read, do not obey the law and probably will cross where they wish. Although adorable companions, it is hard to remember the last time that the news reported an animal talking, thinking or providing significant input for the benefit of society. Yet, these signs cost taxpayers like so much of government.

It gets better from there. Just go read. Don’t say I never provided the Horde with amusement.

3. The GOP and its foul ideas will never die. The "Third Way/New Democrats" will make sure of it.

As we've seen from this past election, they can still do things state-by-state in order to boost their odds of "winning" elections, whether it's gerrymandering or voter ID laws. They have control of much of the governorships and state legislatures, not to mention that over 60M people still voted for their candidate in their loss, plus most of the media is notoriously unreliable in holding them accountable for their lies.
The Democrats won the last battle in November, but the war is still far from over.
