I'm going to have to swerve to miss three of those people on my next trip to the grocery store. The GOP will never be at a loss for candidates so long as they demand candidates with only the Sarah Palin set of qualifications.

The good news is that voters are quickly catching on. Several million Republicans gave up their homes so that gay people couldn't marry, but it turned out that was a works-once trick that required voters to have the luxury of giving up their own treasure to restrict someone else's lifestyle.

They don't have that much to give up anymore; in fact they are quickly coming to resemble the social out-groups that they happily targeted when they were more privileged.

Now that most Republicans are "poors," I think we can expect them to become increasingly insular, increasingly traditional, less interested in federal candidates who betray them at the first opportunity, and more interested in securing some sort of homeland in which they can all congregate--just like the Indian tribes that they are quickly beginning to resemble.
