Conservative pens scathing July 4th column calling for destruction of 'white-nationalist' GOP

18. Honestly, I'm not sure the GOP can survive.

For what it's worth, what I think will play out over the next decade is that we will flip both US Houses of Congress in November, and gain hundreds of seats at local and state levels.

Then the new Democratic controlled Congress will begin the hard work of reversing all the damage the billionaire parasites have done to democracy, including the reversal of Citizens United and perhaps the reconfiguration of the Supreme Court to achieve a more constitution-oriented approach rather than legislating from the bench like the current right wing of the Court is wont to do.

National Popular Vote will pass in enough states to make the Electoral College a thing of the past.

At the state level, hundreds of new people will reinvigorate the Democratic Party and will take over the nominating process.

When the Democratic Party is firmly ensconced in power, it will begin to see a division between the more conservative and more progressive wings.

The Party will split into these wings, which will ultimately become two separate parties. This as the founders foresaw - they created a national government that would require plenty of debate and compromise to achieve forward progress. We may be frustrated sometimes because of this debate, but it is vital to the republic.

I believe, even if the Dems do at some point in the future split, there will be emphasis on climate change, on healthcare, and education. Because, conservative or progressive, any Dem is better than any Republican.

But, hey, this is all in future, and all my speculation. Right now, the road before us is to vote BLUE. Straight Dem!

Happy 4th!
