Dude, I don’t care about any of that now and I didn’t even bring China or this liberal fopo mindset up, I am concerned about our lives here and not some miles away hypothetical about vague notions the State department and NED cooks up.

LMAO, just had to jump in and say I love how you shut down the classic "dO yOu WaNt ChInA tO wIn" bs

As for OP, I guess this is a remote possibility, but it's not like Democrats are in danger of being locked out of power. Demographics and culture are still going their way despite Trump's fluke 2016 electoral win, and Republicans don't even have a beginning of a response for the mounting crises of climate change and automation. Trump's unique ability to expand the coalition and the Status Quo Joe wing's fading grip on power are the only things keeping the GOP out of the wilderness. The most daring they would get is packing the court if it frustrates them too much or nullifying federal law, and that's pretty legal. I'm more worried about liberals using existing Bush Era powers to crack down on anyone they declare "extremists"- watch them blame muh both sides when some Nazi does a truck bombing or something. See the military declaring a purge of "extremists"- rather than white supremacists or pro-Trump insurrectionists- after the Storming of the Capitol.

I think one thing missing in all this is how much democratic leadership actually caves in every so often; they did in the 2000 election, they did in Georgia in 2018, and they are trying to go back to “normal” even after the Republican bigwigs tried killing them all in 2021. This isn’t the same with the left where they do not interact and actively tries strangling them no problem even in the cradle. Clearly these people do not have great senses of self-preservation, and neither do their partisan interns and twitteratis as exemplified by Atlas. That’s why, according to precedent, the Republicans need to move the ball first.

Liberals are willing to condone a lot to preserve the status quo of private property and free markets, and if it came to it, they would even sacrifice their bourgeois democracy.
