I’m not an expert but it seems as though instead of studying autocratic regimes like that of Orban of Hungary, Republicans should study other minority parties operating in democracies to see how they effectively participate in government without ripping their nations apart.

That would require them embracing progress with courage and vision, but their fear has them pining for the American culture before 1861. Their fear is so strong in them it has them embracing a dishonorable, weak minded, lying, lazy pedophile predator, as their champion and leader. All hands on deck🇺🇸

I'll have whatever you're drinking. 😋 When we sober up, Republicans will still take pride in their ignorance and participation will still be a dirty word.

That would require intelligence, awareness, and insight. That’s a brilliant suggestion, but they can’t get past “owning the libs” and hate to see the big picture.

Republicans have zero interest in not ripping the nation apart. They hate a lot of what the United States aspires to and want to see it so thoroughly destroyed anyone who isn't a white, christian wealthy man will be, at best, second class citizens.

They wouldn’t like the example set by minority parties elsewhere because those parties have set aside their opportunity for grift in order to achieve policy goals. MAGA has no policy goals other than grift, grievance, race/sex/gay/ethnic disempowerment and retribution.
