re: #373 HappyWarrior

What I really think needs to happen is a sane center-right needs to emerge but that’s only going to happen is the GOP is shown that the bigotry it’s operated under for the past 50 years since Nixon began the Southern Strategy is a loser. It’s worked for them. The best we can unfortunately hope for now is just beating them into submission.

The problem is that there are enough bigots and fellow-travellers of bigots in the US that the chance of the GOP suffering crushing enough losses to force a change away from this shit is zero.

The GOP is always either running things or in a strong enough minority position to fuck everything up. The ACA and some other reforms in Obama’s first two years is like the only exception to this rule since 1980 or so, when the civil rights realignment was completed.
