Do not believe even trump does lose bigly that the GOP will change.
Do not believe if they lose the Senate even, that they will learn.
They. Will. Not. Change. At. All.
Remember when their internal review of their last loss told them to adapt to our diverse country.
They might as well have thrown it away in the trash can, and maybe they did.

(1,685 posts)The fuhrer has tought them all how to double down on everything, never admit theyre wrong and of course them being deplorables and cheapskates like his majesty, they will go full speed ahead doing more of the same. Theyll just have to be more forceful and devious than they were previously. Thats what they will have learned.

(13,180 posts)A huge Dem turnout is needed. If we don't do that, the minority Republicans will simply continue to jettison democracy in the end. Their embrace of crookedness, lying, and voter suppression shows their intentions.
