    If Republicans were a healthy political party, they’d drop abortion and the LGBTQ stuff. They’d focus on “we need to be fiscally responsible” and “protect people’s rights.” They might get more traction with this.

    But they aren’t a healthy political party. Instead of changing to suit the voters. They’ll demand that the voters change to suit the Republican party.

      Hm, a return to their normal lies rather their more extreme lies? I think you’re right that there’s no real way to turn back from the extremist path for them. I’m cautiously optimistic that trump’s election signaled the beginning of the end of the party, especially as more of their voting base continues to die off.
