Robert Reich has posted today about the implosion/end of the Republican Party. In the fact-free manner of critics everywhere, may I say that predicting the demise of the GOP is not only premature, it is probably never going to happen. Names may change, new people may come and go, but there are (as I see it) at least four groups of people who are relatively entrenched in American politics: from left to right - 1. Socialists, Social Democrats and Progressives, 2. Moderate (corporate) Democrats, 3. Moderate (non-evangelical/neo-conservativet) Republicans, and 4. Evangelicals, White Supremacists, and assorted Fascists. You can quibble around the edges with this, of course, everyone thinks they're special, but these groups have been around in some iteration since the beginning of the Republic, and they're pretty much here to stay.
In a further welcoming gesture to the soon-to-arrive dystopian future (in which I hope to play no more than a cameo), we have mounted a ring camera/light/motion detector on the corner of our house, so we'll have a record of it when they come for us.
