So many people fail to understand this is a threat to Democracy

8. But the GOP's goal is to kill government isn't it?

The GOP hates government -- not too surprising since they totally suck at actually doing it -- so this is their fantasy of a 'winning' strategy. Their big donors fund the 'hate government' movement because they see an opportunity for obscene profits once free of gov't interference.

The rightwing media pushes the 'hate government' scenario because their incessant message of fear and lies builds ratings that generates revenues to pay all those bloviating celebrities who do the yeoman's work of propping up the flailing GOP.

No matter that the GOP's policies have become more and more unhinged as they cater to the crazy conspiracy theory paranoia of an ever diminishing bloc of crackpot fringe voters. No worries man, their vote rigging scams and voter suppression tactics will just eliminate the competition.

Today's GOP is offering a choice between their version a Herrenvolk democracy, fascism, or straight out anarchy, any of which poses a threat to our form of government. However, they are still in the minority -- and may they stay that way due to their bungling attempts at extortion -- so let's hope the old adage, "Out of chaos, comes order", will prevail.
