Republicans have accepted that the country is will be minority European-Americans, in fact they strive for that end They believe that their future as the junior branch of the Democrat Party and as its Designated Opposition wing is only secure if they simply separate out and nullify the political influence of the conservative and European-American population who they believe will be forced into a swap in social and political position with the Democrat minorities in the near future.

The totalitarian State is upon us. Power is in the Party. The killings have not begun but they will.

Republicans think they understand history- the history of Communism in Russia and the inevitability of the triumph of Communism. They do not understand that in the history they think they understand, they are analogues of the Mensheviks and the Trotskyites and ultimately will serve as stars in the show trials to come..

Designated Opposition ...

I fully understand and agree somewhat on the outcome, perhaps not so much as being rooted in corollaries to recent communism states.

I call them the "Loyal-but-not-too-vocal Opposition". Almost like that described in Parliament, but with a much deeper connection to Russian-like politburo functionaries. Those functionaries in government that have their power, perks and their modern day Dachas (in all their forms).

To me, they (Republican establishment) have been number two so long, their actions and reactions when they are in some modicum of control is almost Pavlovian. They know they are comfortable in being second-tier and I almost believe they relish being in control of a Congress but still having to deal with a Democrat President. The very few times when they had the triumvirate, all they did was spend more money and cower to media and appease ranting Democrats.

In short, they do not know how to govern. They cannot govern because they have no morals or convictions save only what they need to feign to get reelected.
