I'm Curious...

I really wonder... & I want to know the answer... but I'm almost 1000% certain I wouldn't like it...

What is the Republican/Religious Right's end game here? What is their vision for the USA's future? How is their increasingly violent & repressive agenda going to make America great again?

Because it seems to me that if you make it easier for everyone to get access to automatic weaponry, then proceed to persecute a proportion of the populace that, if banded together, would easily outnumber your support base, you're starting a war you can't possibly win...

And if you reduce the USA's international standing to that of a theocratic, feudal laughing stock, how does that keep you safe from the other, emerging global power-players? Who do these blinkered idiots think will step in to fill the vacant seat at the top of the table? Hint - it's unlikely to be anyone friendly to the USA...

So where do they see the USA in 5 years... 10... 50??

I think Russia is itself what the Republican future looks like. Total control of the government by concervatives, and its lead inevitably to a police state, ramptant corruption, and ill concieved military adventurism.

The cynic in me says - so kind of like what it is now? With a lame duck President totally at the mercy of a stacked Senate & Supreme Court that can undo anything he tries... Ill-conceived military adventurism? Well, they certainly have recent form in that... & as for the rampant corruption *cough* Trump!! *cough*

Except of course the Republican dream is kind of the opposite of what Biden has, they dream of a strong executive who can do whatever he wants, like Trump and if Trump kept on Trumping we'd end up with the kind of falling-over-itself national incompetence that is Putin's Russia
