I know it’s not popular, but this is how I view it too. To be clear: There is no reason - none - for the Republican party to exist. I almost think some major Democrats might fund them just so that they can have a clear “You gotta vote for us, or you get these lunatics” vibe.
They do nothing for any part of America, and I am personally disappointed in every single individual allegedly-sane allegedly-human consciously voting for them. In a sane world, they would get zero votes anywhere, and I am not okay with a handwave of “yea but you’ll never get Joe Redneck in Montana to vote against them”.
When the vote is 100% democrat, then some intense primarying can happen, fracturing the party into people who actually DO want to help the country. We all know there are at least some of those in the party.
