Reports of the Republican Party's death have been greatly exaggerated.

    Well, either the Republican party collapses or the democratic features of the US get broken. It's really one or the other, now.

    During the rise of NSDAP, Jewish-owned German newspapers sided with the far-right party over Jewish working-class, who were getting massacred in the streets by SA and SS. Later, Hitler's regime would nationalize the newspapers and send their owners to the concentration camps.

    Fetterman is banking his career on MAGA winning. But if they do, the regime will dispose of him when he's no longer useful and he'll be arrested (and imprisoned or executed) as a Democrat.

    But Fetterman has shown us he actually doesn't have specific values, and is willing to perform any part in order to stay adjacent to power.

    It's unlikely to happen in the House, and increasingly unlikely in the Senate, so that idea is just more proof that his stroke did more brain damage than we thought. It doesn't help that he's hanging out with his MAGA buddies, who are experts at being obsequious in pursuit of their own agenda.

    For real. I still remember this long bet from 2021:

    “No Republican will be President of the USA before December 30, 2039.”
