How long can the GOP Clown Show go on?

[SouthernDem4ever]

Is the GOP Clown Show becoming a problem for them? The GOP clown show of really weird and narcissistic politicians was working for them, but it seems the public is growing weary and they have no where to go but down. The carnival barkers have proven to be emperors with no clothes. The GOP version of governance is no governing at all. They just like to collect the lifelong pension and gold plated benefits while leaving the country in shambles, distrust and division. They have no morals or good intentions towards the USA. They act as if disrupting is all they have too do, and that is really all they have done. They use the government for their own enrichment. They worship a con-man as their savior. They use religion, guns and abortion as wedge issues to keep everyone divided while doing nothing good for society. They completely disrespect the rule of law that they swore to protect. I hope the circus will be over soon. When it is, can we make the elephants clean up their own mess, or at least pay for it?

1. Until no one buys tickets

and the audience laughs but doesn't clap.

2. The show is the party now.

I see it getting worse day by day. Until they lose every election they enter clean up is not going to happen.

3. The GOP could shrivel down to 100 members

And the M$M would still treat them equals or even more important than the Democrats

4. As long as the MSM keeps artificially propping it up.

12. 100%

CNN did do a really good exposure of Trump and his thugs this morning

13. Yep, they need to error on the side of going to far exposing their stupid and treason

[fescuerescue]

5. Trump will eventually go away. He's pretty darn old.

But the country will probably always be split near the middle.

[BlueJac]

6. Until people refuse to listen any longer!

I have had it with their bullshit and lies!

[Hugin]

7. At this point, its a self-consuming snake...

It will keep going until the last bite.

[Joinfortmill]

8. It's an evil clown show. Sorta like something from a Stephen King novel.

9. Until the US collapses.

10. As long as it works as a business model

They need to lose elections consistently, their media needs to lose money, their funding apparatus needs to be made to choose between "work with us and take a hit in taxes" or "don't work with us and take an even bigger hit in taxes."

It won't end until the hangers-on lose their fear of those driving that mess.

11. As long as Fox pretends to be a

news station.

14. It's Pavlovian not logical. They will remain forever.

Nearly half the country will only vote Republican no matter what they say or do,
It's not based on logic, reason or self interest. It's based on the label 'Republican' and it will never change.
Republicans will make their voters lives worse and worse and even start killing them off but it won't matter. They will continue to vote straight Republican.

The Democratic party would die of they acted this way but republican party won't.

15. Until someone pulls the plug on Faux Nooze

and turns off the dark money taps

[Thunderbeast]

16. The division has been with us since the 18th Century

Power politics, fraud, and media lies are part of our political culture.

Jefferson and Hamilton published scathing lies about each other in anonymous pamphlets.

Presidential elections have been settled in backroom deals that did not follow the voters will.

As we seek "our better angels" in politics, it is best to recognize that since the revolution, the politics of race and bigotry have loomed large over the polity.

Doing "the right thing" has always lost to opportunistic power grabs.
