For those who think the GOP can be rescued, the defeat of Trump and the GOP majorities in both houses are necessary but not sufficient. A new generation may be required to articulate shared values and put forth an agenda that slows or reverses centrifugal forces pitting Americans against one another. A rehabilitated GOP would need to cease its aversion to objective truth and dump its attachment to conspiracy theories. It would need to drop an economic agenda that bears little resemblance to 21st-century experience. It could no longer ignore vast differences in wealth (that now manifest themselves even in disparate life expectancy rates) or wallow in nostalgia for a time when white males dominated nearly every aspect of life.

And this comes from a conservative.

Sad what our grandparents and Presidents until Reagan fought and died for is all for naught now.

I am really starting to think what has occurred with the Freedom Caucus and Fox News running the country with their pissant attacking, insulting everybody who doesn't kiss his ass is mostly the same as Pootin has done except he can get away with making his threats disappear and China executing any internal threat is a fascist world order of the oligarchs controlling everything on the planet Earth.

Trump's thoughts on democracy,
