Republicans will not be humbled. They will learn from this. No matter what.

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.

This is 50 years of the Southern Strategy feeding off of itself.

It's not going to just correct.

The fuhrer has tought them all how to double down on everything, never admit they’re wrong and of course them being deplorables and cheapskates like his majesty, they will go full speed ahead doing more of the same. They’ll just have to be more forceful and devious than they were previously. That’s what they will have learned.

They learned to stack the courts, set up a propaganda network to better control the media narrative, lie, obstruct, blame, never apologize, Never admit wrongdoing, pardon their crooks, wrap it up in the flag and god, and cheat like hell.


I shudder to think what they will learn from Donnie's humiliating defeat in November.

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. Once they can no longer mug the country and hide their actions with false fig leaves like "combating voter fraud," they'll simply go to open, brazen mugging. They'll make mugging "legal."
