The thing the GOP seem to be burying their heads in the ground about is that the will of the people can only be ignored for so long. And the people who they have to ignore are suddenly the rich people, who will refuse to be ignored, as opposed to the democrats' historically poor constituency. The collapse of GOP support in the suburbs in the mid-term elections was a striking feature of the new political alignment in America. We may have a perfect storm this year to keep Trump in office due to the voting problems that covid is inevitably going to cause, but winning might be the worst thing that the GOP could hope for right now. It will get ugly for them. I think that mk referred to them the other day as the dog that caught the car. Maybe that was you. Either way it was apt.
