re: #495 HappyWarrior

I think Ike was genuinely worried that we might become a one party state but I agree with your premise that the GOP had done nothing to deserve being saved.

We’ve been a one-party state before. A new party always arises (the collapse of Democratic-Republicans gave us the Democrats, the collapse of the Federalists gave us the Whigs, the collapse of the Whigs gave us the Republicans, and so forth).
