I don't hold polls in such high regard as to put them on some sort of fact based pedestal. But I do find they often give us a hint of what is going on in the minds of a certain population. The results of this poll plus the admiration GOP leaders had for Putin during Obama's presidency and the absolute disgusting display of Trump sucking up to Vlad has me believing a growing segment of the GOP is finally in the place they have secretly always wanted to be.
They are now openly advocating and pushing legislation that will move us away from any further hint of democracy in our system to a country ruled by autocrats supported by laws dependent on suppression rather than the expansion of rights we hold sacred.
And sadly, I have little faith in the Democratic Party to do what is necessary to thwart the upcoming GOP assaults on our political system. The Democrats are hand wringers, always searching for the consensus. Very rarely do they go on the attack until it is too late. The time for searching for bi-partisanship was over a decade ago.
January 6th was not an aberration. It was a warning. We should heed that warning.

I've been saying for years that the GOP didn't hate the Commies, they were envious of their power and control!
I am sorry to say, I totally agree with your outlook. The American experiment is dead and the Dems allowed it to happen. They could not organize a drunken brawl at an Irish distillery. Time to invest in concentration camps, ovens and Zyklon-B. Who will the KKK Qpublicans go after first? Moderate Republicans then ?
