I fear it may be inevitable - UNLESS trump tarnishes his name so thoroughly that even Repubs don’t want nothing to do with him.

It happened after Nixon, albeit very briefly. Cuz we had a brief break with the brief era of President Ford. Then Ford failed to earn a four-year term of his own, and Jimmy Carter and the Dems took the White House. And with that, we had a brief break for honesty and sanity… before fucking Reagan came to power in 1980 and threw it all away. That slick Hollywood schtick just bowled everybody over.

😔😬😖

Well, ALMOST everybody.
