Snap Shots of YOUR Republican Party, 21st Century Style

As bad as the GOP may be, they are still necessary for an adversarial two party system. Giving a single party absolute national power would lead to something much worse than the GOP is now, I don't care what name you give it.

In a purely academic sense divorced from current reality I would agree.

However, the real world situation is that the Republican Party has not been a responsible political party for over a decade, and their behavior has only gotten worse as their bad behavior has been rewarded.

The GOP is now an existential threat to democracy.

The problem is the GOP is determined no matter the costs or results to eliminate the two party system.
It is very apparent they do not want to work in a bipartisan give and take with anyone. Everything for them has to be approved my the leader of the party. If not hey have been know to turn on fellow republicans who were outside of the leaders wishes.

Dark days ahead for the country. The GOP needs to place the blame onto others to deflect. Also to keep the hate and anger motivation as a distraction.

Yes we need a second party to maintain an adversarial two party system. Today's GOP is not that second party. As noted by Oerets they're out for single party rule and they aim to be that party.

We only have one political party. That's the problem. The other so-called party has become what Eisenhower said long ago:

The Republican party is dead. The only things left are tRumplicans.
