I've often wondered how right winger handle reading literature or watching movies, when it's often that their brand of crazy is used for the villains. Do you just chalk it up to liberals writing it or do you not get that you're basically on the wrong side of history? Rhetorical unfortunately.
There will not be a peaceful divorce, that's absurd and no one can reasonably articulate what that would even mean.
The reality is that Conservatives politicians right now, largely just want the money/power/celebrity of office, owned by big corporate donors. They allow right wing media to drive the crazy narratives and they simply put their morals and ethics aside, and embrace it for votes.
And that message right now, is basically just "opposition to Democrats". And Democrats unfortunately are the primary driver of continuous quality improvement in governance/economics/society. We slowly make progress, sometimes taking two step forwards and one back, because of Conservative opposition.
But we'll get there eventually.
It's possible, but I don't imagine most upcoming Republican picks will be as deplorable and divisive as DJT. I mean, much of the current Republican leadership spoke out against him when he was trying to win the primary...they knew he was a cancer on the Republican party, but voters were swayed by right wing media and Trump's celebrity and fiery speeches.
But I think DJT was fairly unique...they won't find another one that deplorable and divisive who can win the primary, much less the general. But if 2020 showed us anything, it's that there is no low that Republican will go to, in order to in their mind, stick it to the evil dems.
