The culture is like a well that we all drink from. Trump and his acolytes are defecating and urinating in it.

(5,504 posts)If it wasnt Donald Drumpf, it would be someone else. Were in a period of cultural decline, where idiocy and ignorance are favored over education, party affiliation trumps the truth, and everything, including murder, is justified if its against the other side.
If we get rid of Donald Trump, were still stuck in the same boat. We need to correct our culture so that Americans dont turn around and just elect another Trump. Its not going to be easy.

(6,377 posts)The party is shrinking and has moved so far to the right that more moderate Republicans don't stand a chance. Trump is their last dying breath and last chance to cling to power. Demographics are changing in America and it's terrifying to Republicans because older white voters are the only demographic they still win.
Hence why they're getting so blatant with voter suppression, demographics have reached the point that without suppressing vote, they're not going to be able to win nationwide anymore.
Georgia and Florida are the canaries in the coalmine for them. If a black woman and black male can defeat white males for the governors seats in a solid, republican southern state of Georgia and the biggest swing state that tends to go red in Florida...it's over for them nationally. And especially since Abrams and Gillum will open up voting rights.
