The ideological civil war within the Republican party ended with the take over by MAGA extremists (see Trump’s polling in the Republican primaries - yes, even though I said not to trust the poll). There is no chance that the GOP today controlled by a crazy MAGA faction can stand against the institutions of the liberal establishment.
There is a reason why the GOP today (which is managed by a faction that is fast losing its ground in American politics) has taken more and more openly extreme stance, because the Democrat’s strategy is to eat their lunch. Who’s better at getting racist laws passed? Who supports the police force better? Who is better at expelling illegal immigrants? Who’s better at ending COVID and masking? The smart racist conservatives have already figured out that Democrats is their ticket to getting what they want.
Who says liberalism is incapable of turning fascism? The Democrats will become the fascist brand, that’s the whole point. The Republicans are finished - they have been out-flanked, very skillfully, by the Democrats and proven themselves to be the incapable ones.
Even longer. This was said during the Reconstruction era and during FDR's administration. The Republican Party is a cockroach that seemingly dies and only ends up coming back stronger.
Reagan and George W. were both "Trumps" before Trump. Exterme reactionaries with a christo-fascist base. MAGA is not a divergence from the GOP its the tragectory its been on since the crypto-fascist Conservative Movement was begun back in the 50s/60s

Liberalism only makes sense under periods where the empire is strong and either growing or at least stable.
When the empire destabilizes and contracts, fascism is always the response. And we're over the hill.

This is literally what Democrats thought before Trump won, almost word-for-word. Holy shit.

Yup and they’ve since made sure that another Trump won’t happen again.

I'm 40, I've been hearing bright eyed, ignorant Dems say the Republicans are finished since I was first able to vote.
They aren't going anywhere.
I thought I came to this site to escape liberal hyperbole about fascism
starts trembling uncontrollably and repeating “2016” over and over again
