That the republican party are seen as traitors and criminals and incompetent assholes and republicans are ridiculed and their beliefs are seen as they are, toxic.
I want the whole republican gestalt to be a laughingstock,to be rejected and the republicans and their greed lies,sociopath and Narcissism go away forever and ever and people never forget why the republicans are toxic to freedom and well being of decent non psychopath,non narcissistic or not greedy people.
May the republican party be torn apart by those who actually care about this country and the laws and human rights and caring about us all is all that remains.
I want the republicans hated for what they have done. And I wish they'd all go away, and the old ones die off. And people stop thinking bad people are good people.

I might not agree with all their tenets, but I think a two-party system is healthy. Or it should be.

Maybe a a viable second political party arise, but not from those toxic ashes.

(4,461 posts)or Utilitarianism, and this concept was used to preserve the forest system for instance, when the president was Theodore Roosevelt, who was a republican for a while and also started a new party of progressives, the bull-moose party. The platform asserted that "to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day". Roosevelt was a trust-buster.
I think republicans today go by the maxim, "the greatest good for me".

Once they've been indoctrinated into their embrace of anti-democracy they can't really turn around and say "Oh, now I see the light."
So many will slither away to live under a rock, fed by rich plutocrats/oligarchs - federalist societies. To re-appear in a new guise, ready to pollute the body politic again.
