Sorry for the mistaken post.

Not sure why you asked this to be moved. Mistaken posts are welcome in the Rams football forum too.

It was late. I was having trouble with me words. Probably should have used “misplaced.” Should have been in the politics forum, etc. etc.

Basically, it was a post about if anyone thought the Dems could sink the GOP, for good, if they really wanted to, given all the shhite the GOP has done in recent years. Seems to me that even a halfway competent political party could have done so, after Trump, an actual coup attempt (which is ongoing), plus all the lies, the criminal, deadly negligence regarding Covid, the endless attacks on minorities and women, the horrendous record on the environment, etc. etc.

The GOP hasn’t really suffered politically from any of it. It’s as if it’s just a natural, normal thing to attempt a coup every now and then, and tell people to drink bleach to cure a pandemic.

The Dems seem to want them to stay alive. They don’t seem to get that if the shoe were on the other foot, the GOP wouldn’t hesitate to end the Dems as a viable political party.

I’m guessing folks here agree with me that the donor class wants a two-party system intact. They don’t want just the Dems in charge, and the Dems listen to the donor class, as does the GOP. But it seems the latter has more leeway to go off the deep end, and still keep its donors in line. That kinda puzzles me.

Anyway . . . thoughts on if the Dems could destroy the GOP, if they wanted to, given Trump and the GOP’s support for autocracy/fascism, et al.
