Rethugs really screwed up. If RW media and the party had pushed someone normal and moderate like John Kasich during the '16 primaries, their party wouldn't be so crazy right now. Maybe Kasich could have won the primary and the general and the party would have still been able to push for a lot of their agenda under Kasich. Even if Kasich only won the primary but Hillary won the general, they still wouldn't have this huge crop of in your face racists and bigots, aka the deplorables, that are out there now
But now it's going to be hard to put the crazy back into the toothpaste tube! How do you shove the racists, the bigots, the wacky Qanon people, etc back into the closet from where they came from?? I don't think it's possible

(7,733 posts)The country is heading in the right direction. Americans are not going to tolerate an autocratic country. Americans want decent and honorable leadership to guide them through lifes obstacles on a path towards happiness and wellbeing.
With Trump, we have had leadership without any goals besides grifting. Trumpism isn't sustainable and destined to fail. The racists, bigots, and so-called wacky people will always be around, but are the minority. And Trump, the sticky and evil glue he is, will also take down Republicans that are too close him.

(21,148 posts)i trolled him after he posted a meme of Ted Cruzs letter to Netflix about the Babes show with one about Cruz saying, I still support mf45 even though he called my wife ugly and my dad the killer of JFK. He came back at me and told me I was a supporter of Pedophilia! He is so far gone I decided to unfriend him on Facebook and blocked all communication. He is my husbands nephew and we have to go there for the holidays this year. So even though I enjoyed trolling him I realized I am not going to change his mind or reason with him because he is too far gone in the cult.
He is basically a nice kid but totally lost in the rabbit hole of MF45 and QAnon cult.
