    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.

      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.

          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.
