The dims have to be sitting back watching us destroy from the inside.
That they are. The question is who is going to be picking up the pieces, and whether they can be reassembled before we get President Hitlery. Both the Country Club set and the conservatives seem to want total failure so that they get ultimate control.
The only good news is that the 'RATs have their own set of problems. They're capped at getting the vote from an inflated 24% of the populace (or an inflated 48% of those that actually vote in the average Presidential election), and that number is trending down as anti-vote-fraud measures make their march. They also have a small, rabid anti-America lieberal core that has abandoned them. Unlike the Pubbies and the right, the RATs have been working on embracing that left to the exclusion of everything else.
We're likely going to find out which approach works in the next 3 years. While I'm a gambling man, I'm not putting betting money on any side succeeding at this point.
