My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump. Many Americans don’t see this because they’re not used to waking up in a country where you’re not sure who the president will be by nightfall. They don’t understand that this predicament is worse than having a bad president.

Listen, Fustilarexamilla, your fears are misplaced. They are only the fears of a Conservative Asshole! My, Gawd! What if a Progressive Demoncrat became Precedent? Well, we know what would happen. All the executive orders promulgated by corrupt and conflict-of-interest people in the Past Administration will be RESCINDED (and yes, martyb, it is a word, and it does work here.)
The Republican party has hoist itself by its own petard. A petard is a bomb, by which one may be hoist, if one does not obtain sufficient distance prior to detonation. The bomb, in this case, is Newt Gringrinch, who went of prematurely in several of his "future" wives, and used that to impeach Bill Clinton. But now, the Giuliani, the lecherous gay co-habitor, and his Ruskie comrades, and . . . Oh, just Jesus it gets so tiresome to have to explain how the Republican party has become the enemy of the People, and how I will now personally attack, villify, denude, exfoliate, ridicule, punch in the face, and irrigate each and every Republican I come across. Careful where you wear you MAGA hats, you traitors! Be afraid, be very afraid!~

:-) Yeah yeah, we can expect the monkeys to come flying out any moment now...

Evidently, my dear and fistulated fustakrakrich, you are not familiar with the cultural reference to Idiocracy [wikipedia.org], of which this is a reference to. You see, in the future, according to the movie, people become progressively stupid, and eventually elect Camacho president, because he won the WWE, World Wrassling Entertainment, championship. Of course, he performance in office is almost, but not quite, as bad a Trump's. Has to do more with electrolytes than bribery, extortion, and squids who go pro.
So now go and find the magical moral equivalency rock to hide behind, you Republican Troll! There is nothing you can to to save the party! They are going down with Trump. The only real question is what will the new, mostly, kind of, conservative party in American politics be named?
"Bull Moose" is kind of outdated, Whigs are right out. That leaves, I guess, the new Social Christian Democrats! Just like in Germany, the heirs to the Nazi regime, only on the down low.

Oh yeah, I vaguely remember that. I couldn't finish the movie.

There's no need to search, the self evident is right there in front of you. Staring at you with those big, yellow, eyes... And it's hardly magical. It's perfectly natural. Almost mystical. That's the beauty. It just, happens. Awesome! And the denials? More so! Harrumph!
So now go and find the magical moral superiority... No wait, I mean, go get your fuckin' shine box!

The old name from way back near the beginning of the republic still works, the Democratic-Republican Party.

Look, right there in Wikipedia! [wikipedia.org] Perhaps "Free Soil" could ride again, although in the era of the average age of Fox viewers and the state of the presidency, it "Depends".

It's the choice between NSDAP and Starship Troopers (Verhoeven's--embarrassed to say I have not read the novel yet). Well, perhaps proletarian revolution some day, but it's not likely to happen today or before WWIII imho (unless...). Yet, if I have to choose between the two, I would rather live in the Starship Troopers world of post-gender, post-race neoliberal fascism than the NSDAP world.
Perhaps our fren cannot see the difference between the two, because it's likely the Nazis won't come for him. Perhaps he's afraid the Starship Troopers fascists might come for him, because he might be white, male, heterosexual, and cisgender, and he does not understand that being middle class regardless of classification is enough to be safe in the Starship Troopers world.
With the Republican Party, personally for me at least, I'm hoping when they come for me to at least drag a few Nazis to hell, and they can take my cold, dead body to a concentration camp.

Yeah, that's the thing, everybody wants a warm and fuzzy NSDAP world, where they get eaten last.
And "revolution"? Please! Not unless the entire army leaves the emperor without even a button to push. Revolution means extermination. Success/failure is determined by which way the guns are pointed when the shooting stops.
