And this is why Republican voters are dumbasses. They are given a playbook of what the GOP plan is, hate it, but still want to vote for them.
Correction: against ~~Hillary~~ anyone on the "other" side. Repubs can do whatever they want and their base will still support them, bc they are portrayed as "better" than the other side.
Same for Dems too. Even so, despite how they both lie, they are nowhere close to being the same. But they are similar.
The devolution into a 2-party system is absolutely deadly to a democracy.
But it's also the expected result of a first to the post voting system.
That's why I worry, not (just) about who will win the next election, but how we are going to survive the next one with project 2029.
When you've started playing Russian Roulette indefinitely, you've already lost.
On the bright side, Trump won't last long enough to see that.
