The republicans are making themselves obsolete. One thing that even country club GOPers favor is lower taxes. If they can’t distinguish themselves from democrats on taxes, they won’t have anything to really run on. “Hi, I’m Joe republican. I want high taxes, just not as fast as the democrats.” People will vote for a real liberal in that circumstance.

It has been lost that Dhimmicrats now represent the richest Congressional districts in the US.
