They're more powerful and influential than you think - they're not going anywhere. They might change their policies to suit the times (remember Lincoln was a Republican) but the so-called "Grand Old Party" ain't going nowhere unfortunately.

If they pull a reverse Southern strategy and jump over and their become more left then the Democrats, I would be willing to vote for them. Also, hell freezing over might help with global warming.

It's not the name that's the issue. Whether they're called "Democrat" or "Republican" doesn't matter.

It's their backwards-ass, regressive, hateful policies that I don't vote for.

If they start saying they're going to force companies to take accountability for their impact on the climate, pledge to give the country a UBI, and socialized healthcare, I'd vote for a "Republican" so fast that I'd need new tires.

I'm willing to go along with that, but with the recognition that between now and when we both die of old age we've got a greater chance of seeing absolute proof of intelligent extraterrestrial life than we do of seeing this happen believably enough for either of us to actually pull that lever.
