There's A Way To Survive The Collapse Of The Republican Party

The right wing will do everything possible to destroy this country. But this is not the end of the American story.

This week, Donald Trump may or may not be arrested and charged with crimes related to the hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election. Don't get too excited about this. America can barely choke down the idea of holding the rich and powerful accountable for their unending litany of crimes much less treat them like actual criminals. Accordingly, I wouldn’t expect a handcuffed perp-walk, and I do expect Trump to get out on bail immediately.

This, however, has not stopped Republicans from flying into spasms of rage at even the hint of Trump facing the consequences of his actions. They are promising all kinds of violence. And this is something we’re going to have to live with for a very long time. Like it or not, this is the future for America.
