If the GOP ever got all three branches of government again, they would pass and implement every policy they have proposed.
Such a prospect is actually terrifying just from what policies we know of.
Really think through what they propose but how the country would evolve to. Even any Republicans who have two brain cells function together would have to pause. And I am not optimistic there are that many voters who understand on that side.

(12,674 posts)They think they will live like the princes of their imaginations, without any checks to their power because "they deserve it". The rest of the world will just have to fall in line because only they know what's best for everyone.
The Libretarian "virtue of selfishness?" check. Corrupt Levitican/Sharia law without any consideration of the unlucky or poor? check. Survival of the richest? check.
To most who follow that creed, it just needs an innate selfish desire for comfort, and a blind worship of Mammon. The sort of world-view that allows one the certainty that "if you are suffering, you either deserved it or you'll get your reward in Heaven", and a person is only free if s/he is able to put a foot on the necks of neighbors or others in the community to get to a more comfortable social position.
It's very easy to be casually cruel until it's your neck that's getting stomped. And by then, it's too late.
