total capitulation, alright, well yeah I made the point that rhetoric shifting "right" to shift with a base largely in opposition to the decay of the DNC which in actuality represents the decaying remnants of the state apparatus built with the sole purpose and capability of winning the cold war. The current paradigm represents a shift out of the cold war paradigm, and rhetoric is shifting with it, naturally.
I would not expect serious policy shifts of a revolutionary nature 1, because of the existence of the cold war state architecture, 2, because of the need to accelerate the decay of cold war architecture.
I'm not cheerleading republicans, insofar as the federal government is going to be important in the next 2 centuries (it increasingly will not be, elon musk is a rouge billionaire without a congressionally created agency conducting state policy independent to the state, this is indicative of the future) republicans have a better grasp of the future because they've not affixed themselves to a architecture in decay. They, however, as mainline political organisms, are doomed long term as the amoral technocracy previously described emerges, but because they are not bounded by the extant decaying state architecture are able to shift more responsively to their base. "RW" rhetoric is therefore more responsive, while left wing rhetoric is top down.
I don't worry about a need to destroy the republican party because I think that the Westphalian system of statehood will be outmoded within 300 years, and with it, by necessity, the republicans.
Pregumin for your time.
