They won't get it because they can't.
Issue 1 failed because most people want compromise.
But the GOP has made it clear they will never compromise.
They used a small majority to gerrymander themselves a veto proof majority and force their zero tolerance dictatorship down the people's throats.
When the threat of the People actually making the decision at the ballot box emerged they tried the Issue 1 stunt and it blew up in their faces.
This is the bell that will not be unrung and marks the clear beginning of the end of the GOP as a political power in this country.
Politics is compromise. In general, when no one's happy, everyone is better off.
But the GOP is unable to compromise because compromise is for losers.
Primary losers.
They are so afraid of their base that performative nothingburgers is their only political strength.
So they will continue to shrink in importance, desperately clinging to their shrinking power centers until they become the 21st Century Whigs.
When the GOP disappears, we will all be better off.
Yep. Everything the Founders were against. The tyranny of the minority.
