How will the GOP recover once Trump is gone? The lying, cheating, corruption, theft and low brow politics? Once that is minimized, how will the GOP regain the trust of the American people?
a three party system, at the least, needs to be legislated into existence. the neo-nazi white supremacist party will reinvent themselves shortly after their political drubbing in november, if we still have an election. POS/POTUS's speech on thursday will give us all the reasons and the justification to politically exterminate maga. trump has probably trashed the GOP (guardians of pedophiles) for at least a generation, for anyone with an IQ over 80 points ...
I bet that made for interesting dinner conversation.
We lived in a republican county. Dad was always getting called up for jury duty but mom never did and it irritated him. She reminded him that he was a registered democrat in a republican county
Everyone in my family were Democrats and still are, starting with my grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, now my cousins. The adults used to discuss politics when I was a kid, which may be why I got so interested in it at a young age. I used to volunteer at my Congressman's office from the age of 12 until I was 15. I rode my bike over there during school vacations, and the staff loved me. Weekends, too, during election season. I even volunteered one time when I was 11. I also worked on the McCarthy campaign when I was 15. They gave me a key to the office.
That's very cool! I had an aunt that worked for our governor, (Dixie Lee=Ray at the time), so I got to see a lot of the capitol. I think I was probably 8-9 at the time.
My family talked a lot of politics, too, especially union related politics. My dad and his brothers were all coal miners as was grampap. I liked to sit and listen to them
I saw RFK in 1966 when he came to California to campaign for Gov. Pat Brown's re-election. He landed at Burbank Aiport. My grandparents took us there. I remember seeing him walk down the steps from the plane and he gave a speech to the crowd. My brother, who was only 10, got separated from us, but Gov. Brown grabbed his hand and walked around with him until he found us.
I saw Teddy Kennedy give a speech one time years later when I was at Berkeley in the early-mid 70's. He started with "Many of you know I went to Harvard, the Berkeley of the East." Everyone loved that.
I also saw Nixon in 1968 when he gave a speech outdoors at Burbank High School. I went to a different high school but I went there with some friends with signs we made that said "Nixon+Spiro=0" and "United Bigots for Nixon". The Nixon supporters grabbed them from us and tore them up as soon as we raised them.
And, weirdly, I saw Ronald and Nancy Reagan in a limo emerging from an underground parking lot at a building in Century City where he had an office. Mostly I just saw the two of them waving their hands in the air like there was a big crowd even though there was hardly anyone around. I saw Queen Elizabeth one time do the same thing in a limo when she was heading into Buckingham Palace.
Hopefully the word “Republican” gets scrubbed from common parlance, and that every conservative who values human life and recognizes the absolute fraud of the current Republican Party forms a new party to balance out the system that Trump has corrupted beyond belief.
Once trump is out of office, his supporters will have a lot of explaining to do.
use their fascist laws to get rid of them, and then get rid of their fascist laws ...
Agreed. But we do need a two, (or 3 or 4 or....), party system. It will be interesting to see what the GOP does to clean up it's now horrible image.
We definitely need more than 2 major parties.
I would like to see the republican party return to the days when my mom was a republican (dad was a democrat)

My house was the opposite LOL
My dad was so far right wing he made limbaugh look like a liberal and my mother was a far left winger.

I wish we could be like Germany and ban Nazis

Like the saying goes, not all republicans are nazi's but just about all nazi's are republicans.
Same. Now days it's all screaming at one another, back then, even if they disagreed you would almost never know it because they were.....CALM.
It was cool.
Some kids played baseball during the summer. My sport was politics.
my political awakening began in 1967 when I shook RFK's hand, and I also personally witnessed animal cruelty by RFK jr.

Good point and good idea..
Is the GOP salvageable? It's gone so far to the right I am not sure it is. So many radicalized extremists.
I'm hoping to help make the maga thumper road to forgiveness a very long, difficult, and costly journey ...
Forgiveness?
Fuck that. Forgiveness is for devout Catholics and peace makers
I'll be long dead before that. maga thumpers have driven a wooden stake into the heart into talibangelical movement ...
Power above law.... Oh so true... Trump couldn't care less about law, it's all power and money, it's all he cares about, Americans be damned.
neo-nazi feudalism, maga socialism ...
They shouldn't. The GOP has shown everyone that they can't be trusted with power.
As if calling themselves the Grand Old Party wasn't a clue. The Dems are older.
