To paraphrase Rush Limbaugh of all people- YES, we do want the republican party annihiliated for all time FORWARD.
Complete.
100%
gone.

Instead of instant gratification, it takes time
Took 45 years of going backwards 29 of those 45(and the stop/start basically reset the clock each time and went even further backwards)

Look what happened in the USSR
Gorby tore down the walls
Putin put them back up
because people were in a rush after Gorby tore them down and Putin spoke better and convinced them the old way was better.

Instant gratification just leaves one hungry 10 minutes later.

Dotting all the I's and crossing all the T's makes it next to impossible to overturn.
