years, it's gotten worse. i mean, donald trump has an 82% favorability rating among the republican base. margorie taylor greene and matt gaetz are more popular than mitt romney and liz cheney in the republican party. anybody in the republican party that add mitts to a common set of facts, that wants to investigate what happened on january 6 is basically almost impossible to win in a primary in this country. so to me, i agree that we're at a crucial point in our democracy. probably as crucial as we were in 1860 or 1861 in what we had, because we have one of the two major legacy parties that is occupied by conspiracy theorists, charltons, and people that push for huge conflict 234s our country. to me, the only path forward is decimating losses to be suffered by the republican party in a series of elections.
