The Republican Party of 2018 should induce panic now

[egbertowillies]

It's been happening for some time in the Republican Party. But it has reached critical mass. Many Conservative but decent Republicans realize that the conversion of the base of the party is just about complete. It is time to panic. Here is why.

1. The Republican party will not change.

The voting base of the party only cares about hurting Democrats, liberals or anybody who is not a white evangelical.

The rich and powerful who control and actually run the party only care about their greed. If the government will give them more money, they don’t give a damn about anything else.

Neither group has any interest in changing or doing anything that benefits other people or the country as a whole. We’re doomed whenever the Republicans control all of the federal government like they do now.

2. They're only going to move further right.

Which is why Bannon and Gorka are pulling no punches to get their twisted base to GOTV in the 2018 election for their insane candidates. We are fucked.

4. I agree. And even if Dems come to power, the GOP will just overturn everything once they cheat their

way into power again.

5. We might effect a comeback anyway

An awful lot of Trump-publicans are people dependent on Medicare, Social Security, and other programs. Most will still remain stupid, but financial ruin and illness will wise some of them up, and some of the liberal-haters will be carried off by a more active Grim Reaper That no longer has such a strong social safety net to curb his sickle.

6. I think you are make good points. The hollowing out of the safety net will hurt them.

Certainly that will wake them up?

7. I think a select few will notice

I think Thump’s first big attempt to end the ACA was a “Holy C$@p! I voted for this???” moment for a slice of his voting block. A core will remain, but as Mac and Bubba learn that that billionaire whom they think talks like they do doesn’t give a rat’s rump about them, more will fall away.

What worries me is that the getting-of-wisdom process for reachable Trump voters won’t be far along enough for 2018.

8. What will it take? Healthcare gone, retirement and house values decreased.

How long will it take for people to wake up?

9. Total financial ruin, their loved ones dead

from diseases their loved ones’ insurance used to cover, and a slice will have an awakening.

Some will stay with Donnie all the way to their bitter end.

11. They let Bush do the same to them when he was in office. They don't seem to learn anything.

They are the greatest threat this country will ever face.

They are anti-American.

They have an agenda.

They want the U.S. to become a Christian Theocracy controlled by corporations.

They want to get rid of ALL SOCIAL PROGRAMS.

They will destroy this country using Supply Side Economics.

10. I think there were decent Republicans, once upon a time.

But these days, most of them are dead and gone, and of the rest, they're very, very old and very, very regretful.
