Sounds like the GOP is taking the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” path,
The problem with that is their voters will to. Why vote for the loser GOP when the dems are always winning?
You have three distinct political groups in the US now: The democrats (left), the republicans (center), and the conservatives (right), all vying for control. The only real divide between the democrats and republicans is what brand of socialism they want to implement (government vs. corporate), while the Conservatives just want both of them to follow the Constitution and leave us the hell alone. Takers, bankers, and producers, always fighting for control, since the beginning of time. Right now, the takers have the upper hand, with the bankers sniffing profits to be made from the takers’ exploits. In the mean time, the producers are going to give the other two sides the middle finger, and produce for ourselves, to the exclusion of all of the others.
