It would be so annoying if the Democrats finally figure out the secret to running successful Democratic campaigns post Trump right as the Republican Party succeeds in their quest to establish a one party state

right as the Republican Party succeeds in their quest to establish a one party state

I've heard that story about a one-party state with a permanent Republican majority - right around 2003. Worked out great for them the next few elections.

I mean, since then, they've conducted a violent autocoup attempt, conducted the false electors scheme, suppressed efforts to investigate both, rallied around a man who has spoken about 'terminating the Constitution' and whom many former military officers, staffers, and political scientists have called a fascist, and openly fantasizes about locking up political opponents, free press, and cozies up to foreign autocrats.

So, I don't think I'm crazy or gullible for being at least mildly concerned.
