In reply to the discussion: My wish is that this election will bury Republicans so deep... [View all]Jedi Guy
(3,185 posts)people love to crow that they're done for good, or that the Republican Party is dead, or that conservatism is dead, etc. And it's never true. They may lose an election, but conservatives are still out there in the wild and they still vote. Conservatism is still a thing. The ideology won't just vanish because they lost a few elections.
Trump's aftermath will very likely send them into the wilderness for a few election cycles, but it's naive to believe that in his wake it'll be the reign of liberal progressive thought forever. If the GOP or some other conservative party cleans house, ejects the Trumpians, and reforms itself into the loyal opposition, I'm okay with that. I don't think unfettered one-party rule is necessarily a good thing.
