I get the impression most liberals around here believe the GOP owns a one way ticket to self-immolation. While that may be true, they've hit rock bottom before and stepped back from the brink, as in the Mccarthy era.
On the other hand, I can't shake the feeling that Trumpism -- or some firm of extremism -- was inevitable. That they were on a kind of predictable downward spiral at least since the Tea Party, maybe since Reagan, and possibly even earlier -- the Southern Strategy.
So two questions for the thread: was Trumpism (or some form of extremism taking over the party) inevitable? And are they at present on an irreversible downward spiral, or is this just a low point in the cycle?
