Four to eight years of a liberal republican will cause Americans to become complicit with the new definition of a republican. Exactly....just as it has been doing for the past many years, moving its center to the left, incrementally. Just how the socialists have said it should be done.
The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism,
but under the name of [conservativism or Republicanism*] they will adopt
every fragment of the socialist program until one day America
will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened.
