Comments on Moving towards Epiphany by russell

In the spirit of moving toward whatever epiphanies await us, good or ill, I wish all here a happy, peaceful, healthy New Year.

Here's a lovely old chestnut. I probably post this every year, but it's a personal favorite, so I hope you will forgive me.

Trump’s increasingly-insane inanity will make any Bush-style Republican very attractive in 2028

Attractive, but likely not to the current base of the (R) party.

Is there a cadre of old school (R)'s ready and able to turn the GOP around in 2008? I don't see it. I don't know how they would do it.

I'm also not sure the (D)'s will go for someone who leads with "we're gonna go after all of the Trump era malefactors". Too divisive!! Can't have that!!

My epiphany of the last year (or 10 years) is how durable the paranoid style continues to be. Drive a stake through it's heart, it just keeps coming back for more.
