One shouldn’t make the mistake, however, of discounting or underestimating the GOP – the Republican agenda remains very much a threat to democracy and our democratic institutions.
That's why I mentioned the billionaire, wholly owned corrupt judiciary, and conservative media, in the tank for them.
This has been their plan since Nixon was impeached, and was delayed in '76 with the election of Carter. Once they got Reagan in, they had their guy to destroy the middleclass revolution from 1946-1979. Once the billionaire class was developed through tax cuts, the repeal of anti trust laws, transferring the wealth to conservative leaning corporations, and private interests. They could now start down the path to where we are today.
Throw in an entire new media apparatus, that catered to the ignorant, bigot class, that will gladly vote against their own interests, if they think it will take away any support from those they don't like, and the trifecta of the building blocks of a fascist regime are in place.
