    This is what happens when a party is allowed to gerrymander and redistrict to the point that they cannot lose.

      I'm from Los Angeles, California, where we have term limits on the local and state level. We don't have institutional memory anymore, and campaigning for ones second and last term begins right after being elected for your first. We don't have the "greybeards" who used to advise the newcomers. And most importantly, because campaigning is constant, they are more beholden to donors and lobbyists. It's a s**tshow.

Those same people then watched their Republican part begin to emulate Trump's antics and talking points.

I did it, because I was young, disaffected, and Hillary just seemed so insincere after the Bernie stuff. I'd also began to accept conspiracy theories, and began to tie my life's issues back to something other people were holding back. I was convinced I couldn't get help with my issues, because the Democrats didn't care about them, but DID care about some other people, whom I'd come to despise.
      I just wanna know what everyone else was going through. Because I'll be honest, with half the people I knew that flew in those circles at the time, it was holding onto really backwards social beliefs over women, minorities, and LGBT issues in general.

      JonnieMae; It is astonishing what has happened in America in the last 30 some years. The Republicans seem to be hell bent on destroying Democracy with false information and their base is lapping up like good little puppies. They have lost their way... many in prominence ( the loud-mouths) are devoid of mortals, ethics, compassion and a sense of working for the American people and are unqualified to do the job. They think being a gym teacher or a running a Ponzi scheme is enough experience to make laws. The job is no longer the focus... getting on as many news networks as they can to spew hate and racism is the goal now. Their motto is GUNS, GOD AND BEER. That may appeal to the some people in this country but it sure scares the hell out of me. SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!!! They can't understand those words.... must be the beer.

      It depends on how long there IS a G.O.P. Over its first 75 years, the GOP transformed itself radically. Since then, "saying the quiet parts out loud" has driven out the moderates. MAGA's physical threats against civil servants and politicians and their families has succeeded in intimidating any conservatives left in the party. MAGAs don't understand that their pursuit of a "purely" MAGA party will necessarily shrink the GOP.

    I did soft leave from the GOP in 2016. Meaning I was still a registered Republican but stopped voting for any pro-Trump Republicans. In 2019 is when I officially resigned from the GOP and became unaffiliated. It was just after the senate vote to convict Trump on the first impeachment. I sent in my party resignation letter and let people in the party know that I would officially no longer participate in the party. I had been in the GOP for 20 years, was a precinct chair for 10 years, went to the RNC twice as a delegate and was a platform committee member both times I went. Just sad to see the party has went to the crazies and stupid people. It is ok though.. I was always an Eisenhower Republican anyway.

      I have a problem with both parties but the republicans are insane. At least some of the democrats holding office actually want to protect the lower income families. The republicans have always been for the wealthy and big corporations and those corporations are way behind when it comes to paying taxes and trump made it worse by cutting taxes on those corporations. When Biden was elected these corporations were taxed half of what they were before trump but they were so greedy they passed that tax on to consumers along with a markup, making prices spiral out of control while making record profits. They call it inflation when it’s actually stealing. They need to pay their fair share. STOP THE STEALing from consumers and do let these republicans lies go unchecked. They also want to eliminate social security and other entitlements for people who don’t receive a government retirement like they do. Take their government retirement funds and pass it on to social security to and put them in the system so they have to rely on it when they retire. That would be the end of that argument. They are hypocrites and liars. Both parties are overrun with crooks. Republicans are mostly irresponsible morons and democrats are sitting on their asses when they should be making progress and holding these sadists accountable.

    Interesting conversation. My mother was a devoted Republican - what was referred to as a Yankee Republican - fiscally conservative, but socially liberal. Her (and my) Republican Party became extinct with the election of Ronald Reagan, the rise of the Moral Majority and Trickle Down BS. The reality is that the statesman Republicans and Democrats of the pre Reagan era were able to compromise (now essentially a 4 letter word) and work towards the improvement of life for Americans, but those who followed were ideologues, like Newt Gingrich. It now obvious that Reaganomics happened to occur at the same time of a major technology shift: individuals access to IC-microprocessor technology like computers, mobile phones, efficient gadget rich cars, smart grid, smart refrigerators etc. The fabulous growth in wealth that has occurred was due to this technology, not Reagan. The policies of Reagan eviscerated much of the Post WWII social policy that had strived to be more egalitarian, build an infrastructure supportive of business and people, and finally recognized the oppression of minorities and women. I blame Nuclear Newt Gingrich for the inception of this take-no-prisoners creep towards craziness. Frankly, today’s political mess is because a certain group of entitled men, mostly white and apparent religious right wingers, believe that they are being victimized, when in reality they just don’t want to share.

Not to mention they needed the help of the russians and welcomed it in 2016 and then felt so desperate that they won't ever win elections ever again that Jan 6th happened, almost giving America its first autocrat.

    One of the ways to remove politicians who are not what they appeared to be once elected is to create a recall law. If a constituency is dissatisfied with their representative they can hold a vote to have them recalled and a new representative installed. If say 55% of the voters wanted them gone, they are gone. Sinema could have been removed when her constituents realized that she was not what she appeared to be. Santos would be the same story.
