"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,'
they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
- Norman Thomas, former U.S. Socialist Presidential Candidate

The Republican Party Is the Single Greatest Threat to the American Republic
Unlike the Nixon/Watergate scandal, tRump and Russiagate will likely have far reaching effects on the GOP.
In 1973/74, the damage was mostly limited to Nixon and his inner circle. Largely due to Democrats controlling congress and holding the hearings in public, so that all was revealed and Republican office holders weren't seen as being closely connected to the crimes.
In tRump's case, his GOP congress has actively obstructed the investigation. That failure of the GOP congress to perform its oversight duty hasn't gone unnoticed.
If Mueller's report is as damaging as it appears likely to be, the GOP will probably pay a heavy price for their complacency in the face of tRump's obvious criminality.
The first is, the GOP has saved billionaires a lot of money, and these same monied interests will continue to support and underwrite their existence.
The second is the voting base, who, thru the Dumbing Down of America and a wickedly effective propaganda campaign, will have these people voting for them no matter how awful they are for working class people. The only thing that can overcome this formula is education, and with the advent of "fake news", as well as the rising cost of education, it seems unlikely.
This pretty much nails it. Never underestimate the power of propaganda, even the simple-minded fairy tales that got Trump elected. Especially when a population has been prepped by the erosion of their critical thinking skills, and by stripping their essential human values.
Good grief! The non-stop bashing and trashing of half your fellow Americans is not only tiresome, but is keeping everyone firmly entrenched in their team mentalities. FFS, look at the wording used in both the article and the following posts. What the hell do you hope to accomplish with that? The Republicans aren't suddenly going to say, "Yeah, you're right. I'm stupid, a threat to America, and unscientific. I should become a Democrat because they're so much better than everyone else, the only way my life will have meaning is to become one with a group of people who obviously hate me."
Just stop it.
