One day we're going to look back as a country and wonder how the hell we allowed this dingus to run roughshod over our entire society for the better part of two decades. At least I hope.
I'm more curious whether after he's gone, the US will have learned. I'm having my doubts about that. I'm afraid all he's doing is setting the bar so low that every other asshole after him can say, 'at least I'm not Trump!' and it would work.
In a single word, Republicans.
The are no more Republicans. That was just the larval stage until they morphed into their final form - MAGA. They're all MAGA now.
The Republican Party is officially dead, and should only be referred to in a scholarly/ historical context, like the Whigs.
You make a compelling point.
I think the Dems should make it an official policy, and then only refer to them as MAGA from now on, even correct MAGAs and even journalists when they use the archaic term Republican.
Just like the Dems gets all pissy when MAGAs call them the Democrat Party, this will make the MAGAs bunch up their panties. Do it all the time, really irritate them. It's funny to see them get angry.
