Worldview Collapse probably hit a tipping point today.

This SSM ruling, like the Confederate flag thingy, is going to move the politics of American political parties. There are many gay-friendly Republicans, even if they are not the big names on the nomination circuit.

Eventually, if the religious right keeps trying to push the GOP towards theocracy, I expect what will happen in many states is what happened here in California.

At one time the GOP was important in statewide California politics. Then the religious right ran out of it the libertines, and now the GOP here has almost no say at the state level.

I expect the most extreme members of the GOP will continue to rail against the ACA and SSM, even as it is clear both are lost causes now (heh). If the GOP leadership doesn’t follow along, we may see a split in the national GOP as the extremists leave in disgust.
