IF anyone wants to know where this is all going they only need to look at the State of California.

A place which once had parity between political party identification and ran effective government with small deficits.

Then the right wing of the republican party took hold and created a party that fewer and fewer people identified with. They’d win a few Pyrrhic victories on social issues which would both alienate more constituents while motivaing the hard right to think that they just might be on the right track.

Result?

One party rule that is so entrenched that a republican governor (RINO or not) is incapable of changing. One party rule where the extremists of that party call the shots because the districts are safe - why moderate your positions. Where, obediently, the right periodically does something stupid and extreme to justify the fear mongering of the left.

IOW - a political train wreck with generational implications. With no sign of abating.

California has been called a bellwether state. Indeed it is. Look to your future, America. It is right here. And the right wing SoCon moralists still don’t mind because they see political apocalypse as needed to deliver another savior.

Like some fucking 12th imam.

Congrats, SoCons.
