    Depends entirely on how successful we are in the upcoming election cycles, and at governing the country when our people are in office. It’s not a one player game, unless we give up.

    Though we should expect attempts at sabotage. Resilience is the name of the game though. Fascist ideology tries to paint us as weak, and we really can’t afford to go along with that at any point.

      Should have clarified, the republicans who will replace them will all be far right extremists.

      They may or may not get elected. But, what little sanity the party retained will sail off into retirement.

        Not in the long run. In politics, battles, where you win some and lose some, take years. Wars take decades to generations. Can’t look at just one human lifetime and say “that’s just how things are” when “how things are” is always up to people, who are inevitably subject to change in both themselves and their environments.

        No matter how much that basic principle may fundamentally bother conservatives.
