What's outrageous is that the GOP is authoritarian and simply doesn't believe in democracy. This was a choice. They could have run on policy differences, both economic and foreign, and adjusted as the country grew around them. They have chosen racism, fear, and fascism.

They gave up long-term goals for short-term gain. I wish I could say that they're the one's who'll pay for it, but America has been damaged by it. Our institutions have been ravaged. Our international standing is in tatters.
If I were one of our allies, I'd never trust us again. Who knows what the next election will bring?
I'd shore up my defenses. I'd not trust the United States to have my back in a conflict. I'd not trust the United States to have my back even in handing out sanctions.

The last and greatest card in our hand was our defense capability, and Trump lit that card on fire.
And I don't think most people realize how serious that is.
