(15,348 posts)Rs have been gaslighting this country for going on half a decade and the country has continued to indulge their bs relentlessly.
The last time Rs had this country in flames was W lying us into Iraq and their enabling of banks trading useless mortgages leading to the great recession.
That resulted in a big win for BHO and Ds getting control of both the senate and house.
Then what happened?
The very next election the country decided to give Rs the biggest mid term win in our lives and ushered countless "Tea Party" loons because Ds had the temerity to put THE REPUBLICAN version of health care reform into law, which not one single R voted for was made into the greatest threat in history to democracy.
Even now, the democratic party is viewed about the same as DT, cause literally every time they open their mouths they say how grotesque liberals are.
The problem is they spend more time negging the Ds than anything else because it works. It keeps their 1/3 in a constant state of loathing toward Ds and the "middle" 1/3 thinking "they are both the same."
So, yeah, DT and company will continue to drive the country over the cliff and it may be bad enough that they take a hit in these next midterms (assuming there is a legit election).
But, like it always does this country will indulge what ever lunacy they counter with.
