(17,656 posts)The Loyalist Republican establishment, and the Tea Party woo-woos.
The Loyalist Republican establishment will still be controlled by rich millionaires and billionaires while their Congressmen run around and make big promises to protect the very large monopolies, large corporations, Big Oil, Big Pharma, and the MIC.
While the Tea Party woo-woos will still make up the majority of the GOP base.
The people that actually vote.
The Republican party is shrinking, and they only have themselves to blame for that.
After waging a "War on Women" for the last 2 years -- with no end in sight -- there will never be a coalescent majority big enough to get another Republican elected nationwide to office, which is what is required to get a President in the White House, because more women vote for the President than men do.
There are a few moderate Republicans still out there though that they are to the "left" of the Republican party, so I'll call them "L"s.
The largest part of their base, however -- the majority that takes up the middle of the GOP party -- is made up of Americans who are idiots, so I'll call them "IA"s.
Then there are Republicans that are way more conservative than Republicans used to be, so I'll call them "R"s.
And then are a few people that are just totally clueless suckers following along like they are in a parade behind people like Sister Sarah, so I'll call them "S"s.
So, put them all together, and you get the modern GOP party -- LIARS.
How long they stay as separate factions depends totally on them.
I think that it will take more than 2 years for them to wake up to the fact that saying:
that the President wasn't born here,
that women shouldn't get equal pay for equal work, or shouldn't be able to control their own bodies or manage their own healthcare needs,
that Latinos are the reason we have so few jobs for white people in America, so immigration has to be enforced more radically these days than ever before,
that they care so much about Gay people that they never want them to go through the horrors of a divorce by keeping them from being able to get married in the first place,
and, then there's a whole boatload of crap about how we are not impacting the enviornment,
isn't going to work on a national basis.
