Yesterday I read a piece by some never-Trump chatterer whose name I didn’t recognize predicting what will happen to the party when Trump is finally politically or actually dead. In the resulting party anarchy, he was hoping for a rebirth of the GOP in the image of the pre-Trump party. Fat chance. I hope the chaos and internecine warfare shatter any unity they might hope for and keep them out of power for decades. And I further hope the Democrats can finally, after 40 years cowering under the shadow of Reagan, do some big, long-overdue things that need doing in this country (infrastructure, climate, healthcare, voting rights, ERA, abolishing or making proportional the electoral college, reforming the Supreme Court, and so on).
And I further further hope that Trump’s most ardent pickthanks are ultimately exiled to a real or metaphorical Argentina.
