I've seen editorial cartoons over the past two or three years warning of the Frankenstein monster the Republicans have created by pandering to the extreme evangelicals, libertarians and such.

There was one 20th century extremist who was quite far off in the estimation of the stability of his regime.

The one who said "The Third Reich will last a thousand years."

It lasted twelve years. That's quite an error.
