We cannot let the Republican party stand after the dusts settles. It is tainted, planted over the bones of white supremacy and watered with hate.
Force them to set down new grassroots by banning every Republican politician from office that manages to escape prison.
today on sesame street: gang wars edition, we're going to learn about power vacuums!
if you have a large population that supports a particular group or person and get rid of that group or person, a vacuum will form that sucks all that support with new hostility into a new group or person, usually they are worse than the original.
the best way to combat this is to replace existing leadership with leaders who are sympathetic to your goals and will lead the vacant minded masses to the agreed upon goal.
the US has done this hundreds of times in history with great success.
That's what neocons were until the Tea Party purged them.
The problem is that the Democrat leadership wants the old GOP back so they can get back to finally ending history. We can't tolerate either party in their present forms.
The power vacuum exists when the power is left sitting at the table. Presumably, in my utopic wish to disenfranchise fascists, we'd fix the guiderails that let us fly off into this canyon but I didn't get into that in the midst of my angry diatribe.
