The Republican Party has become a criminal protection racket, and only Asa Hutchinson (and a wishy washy Chris Christie who helped it GET where it is) wants to take it back.
Folks: We actually don't KNOW whether the GOP is a dying party or a rising single party of an authoritarian state.
Unless and until the traditional press presents those as the stakes, it is very much unclear which it'll end up being. #media #fascism #Republicans
@GottaLaff @emptywheel I think it can't really die – or, at least, it seems structurally there are always 2 major parties that will seek balance. (One or both parties may shift dramatically, as we've seen, but I think not die.)
Both parties certainly have their authoritarian elements, so keeping the rise of authoritarianism in check is important.
@GottaLaff I think the thing I was replying to or boosting there was deleted or something, so that post may not make much sense.
