  It matters a lot, actually; when you recognise Trumpian fascism as the product of domestic, structural, problems, you can make the kind of policy changes that reverse the slide into fascism. But when you blame all the countries problems on the sinister machinations of perfidious foreigners, you’re just going to end up rushing even faster into jingoism, militarism, and McCarthyism, which will ultimately only accelerate the slide into fascism.

  Future Republicans are going to be very ashamed of the Republicans who support Trump, they still exist in the future.

    Republicans? Ashamed?

    I see you haven’t met many Republicans.

    The scenario I’ve been imagining would go like this. The Cheney/Romney/McConnell GOP would abandon the Republican name to the MAGoos and do a hostile takeover of the Libertarian Party. Right now the Libs have about 800,000 nation wide. The Cheney bloc could join and overwhelm the old guard and be on the ballot in all fifty state instantly.

        Get real.

        Mitch is going to die comfortably and probably have some schools named after him after he’s gone.

        There would have to be a lot of people killed before things changed wnought to change that, and I don’t think it’s worth the cost.

    They have long since eliminated the part of their personalities that feel shame.

    If history is the best way to predict the future, current Republicans will be ashamed of future Republicans, but in private. In public they’ll play along.

  It’s a moot point to debate whether Trump is a Russian asset or not. Either way, he’s acting as if he was.

  Yes, but we do get to abuse brown people right?
