These predictions that a party will be down for decades don't usually pan out. Many said the Republican Party was dead after Johnson crushed Goldwater in 1964. Fours years later Johnson withdrew when things didn't look good for him and Nixon got elected to the first of two terms. In fact, since 1968 the GOP has controlled the WH for 32 of the last 52 years. Nothing in politics usually lasts long. There are too many variables which can change on a dime.

Well we saw last night that a Biden/Harris admin has nothing to offer on this front.

All we could look forward to is Kamala being first in line for a Trump admin developed vaccine rather than having her scare the crap out of Americans and make them afraid to take it.

The difference today is that one party (democrats) controls almost all our regular media, definitely all our social media, our complete education system, our entertainment industry, and now our sports industry.
One party, one ideology has way too much power in this country to indoctrinate as never before.

Sadly, no matter what, I think we are heading towards a civil war. It's going to be the globalists who want to destroy the USA against the Patriots who want to defend it. The Globalists will probably win because they own the media, most of the tech companies, most of the private defense contracting companies and are in bed with China.

As it is, I have to agree with the OP though I wouldn't state it using the same words. Mark this date and time.
I have said much the same thing several times on these forum threads.

But the thing is, the rank and file Trumpie sees these other social conservatives as the enemy and no amount of persuasion can make them see it any other way.

In this respect they more closely resemble the old Native American Party, commonly known as the 'know nothing' party by contemporaries. This party disappeared at about the same time as the new Republican Party was organizing and growing.

When you think of 'globalists' who want to destroy this country, think of Trump and Putin. Make no mistake about it, that describes them to a 'T'.

That would not describe you, of course, not knowingly ...but you are playing your part by allowing them to use you.

Well Hanoi Jane Fonda thinks Covid is God's gift to the left.

Such a sick comment on so many levels. But par for the course for Jane.

If Biden wins it won't matter what republican runs EVER AGAIN. America is over, the ONLY outcome will be either A. Socialist Republic of America much like the USSR or B. A civil war and the breakup of the entire country into SEVERAL countries. Even if Trump wins reelection , if the GOP goes back to the idiots like Bush,McCain and Romney then they will keep losing. Stick with the America first populism and nationalism and the workers first agenda like Trump has done and you can keep winning for a little while anyways.
