    The republicans are just about to turn into the Taliban, forcing a dystopian theocratic hellscape on you and stripping you of all your rights.

    What should you do about it? Well, obviously you should vote for the people who wants a strong republican party and want to put republicans in their cabinet so they can get "good ideas" from them.

    These people are not going to do anything to stop the republicans or to break their institutional power out to handle the socio-economic ills driving support for the republicans. But somehow voting for them is all you have to do to stop the republican Taliban.

      I’ve used this argument on my lib friends plenty of times.

      You bait them with “Trump is an evil christofascist, right?” or something of that sort, then follow it up with illegal-to-say

      They usually just get really dismissive and holier than thou but it’s still fun.
