    That’s going to happen regardless. Basically once enough of these people die off, control will be released and at least some things can move forward. I fully expect to see a very hard push to the left.

      That’s precisely why the gop shot their shot and why they’re so hellbent on proving thst government doesn’t work by burning it down from the inside to prove their point.

      Conservatives will abandon democracy before they abandon conservatism.
