An excellent post & you are right that they are playing the long game & have been playing it for decades, while our side? IDK. I feel like our party has only recently become aware of how extremist the repub party has become. Recently, as in it took Trump to wake up a lot of the old guard, & honestly, I worry there are still too many who don't see the Republican Party as the threat to Democracy that it is, including President Biden.
