If we lose, the USA becomes a one party state. They have the mechanisms to make that happen.
Right.
I think the establishment Republicans believe that they can keep their "Loyal Opposition"/"Paycheck Protection" grift going.
As I've written here many times, Perot voters in 1992 [small government fiscal conservatives, for the most part] made up 19% of the final vote that election year, even after the Deep State messed up his campaign [in order to select The Pantload].
There were STILL Perot believers in 1996, and he got 8% of the final national vote, after even more Deep State shenanigans.
It's my belief that the 1992 and 1996 Perot voters migrated to the Republican Party to form a hideously solid portion of the base.
I know that I've voted straight Republican for 13 straight elections, very faithfully, and turned out with bells on for every one.
So, 10-15% of the TOTAL dedicated national voter pot only backs the Republican as the "lesser of two evils".
Mitt, Yeb! and the Smirking Bushie Chimp just spit in the face of those dedicated Perot types, and are laughing about it.
Whare are WE gonna do about it?
