General Discussion

First, to answer, maybe during Eisenhower?

Second, "practical Republicans and idealistic Democrats" is like saying
adults and children. Not a good way to approach a neutral conversation.

Third, a reasonable Republican is a rarity. If they're still a Republican, how reasonable can they be?

I'm sure Rick means well but, it's like Russia and Ukraine, one side obviously has evil intent, and the other is a victim that is just trying to defend itself.

Republicans, if possible, will take 2-3 generations to wash the stink of this regime off. Frankly, I don't think it's possible, and most don't want to. The reasonable need to make a clean break from the party. They don't have to join us, but they can't be both reasonable and Republican. That's a misnomer.
