A healthy political party would look at their declining votes and then figure out what policy changes would get more votes. (For example, maybe drop the whole anti-LGBTQ thing and go all in on “The government shouldn’t tell us how to live our lives.”)
The GOP isn’t a healthy political party, though. Instead of changing to suit the voters, they want to change who votes to better align with their policies.
I used to hope that the GOP would toss out the crazies and save themselves from oblivion. Now, I think they’re too far gone. They need to go and the Democrats need to split into Centrists and Progressives.

Or, you know, accepting the loss. But fascists don’t consider that option.
