Indeed. Good thing it isn't happening.Indeed. The GOP is becoming the mirror image of what the Democrats were in the period between the Civil War and the Great Depression. That isn't a good thing.
Your problem is you ignore reality in favor of leftist talking points, which bear little resemblance to reality.
You want the GOP to become a liberal party.If the Republicans are to continue as a national party and also remain a conservative party, the meaning of "conservative" has to be redefined to something resembling, as it happens, your own political positions, abandoning the culture-war stuff that appeals to the right-wing fringe as presently constituted. Another way to put that is that the GOP can only remain a national party if it abandons southern dominance. Compete with the Democrats in the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast (which were originally Republican areas, please note) by campaigning on REASONABLE, LOGICAL, and FACT-BASED conservative positions (that IS possible, you know), and let the South either be up for grabs or let a third party represent it.
There are a few Republicans today who can show which way to go. Notable are GOP representatives from New England, like Cynthia Snow and Scott Brown. Also worthy of attention is former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California. Of course, a lot of Republicans regard these politicians as RINOs. As long as that's true, the party is on a collision course with reality.
We have one of those. We don't need two.
