There is no such thing as an intelligent republican. There are only idiots and greedy parasites that feel more deserving then everybody else, often projecting their own corrupt actions upon others. To the perverse republican mind they look upon the poor, needy and sick as feeling entitled while simultaneously ignoring or even praising the wealthy for avoiding to pay taxes. On top of that they have the irrational belief that the wealthier the plutocrats become the better off they will become (once again it is all about themselves, not everyone). They hate the government that by definition represents all citizens and wish to see it chopped and privatized for the gains of a few. It is not in the private companies best interest to care for people or their environment, even if that is the business objective. The private entity main goal is to grow revenue and when this is accompanied by financial and environmental deregulation then it is not far fetched to expect corruption and decadence.
The continual presence of republicans is rendering our Democracy useless. They continue to intimidate the media, scientists and the overall populations into ignoring facts and accepting their ill conceived ideology. If this environment of disinformation and intimidation continues we can expect Progressive ideals to falter due to an increasing support of conservative views (screw the poor, the sick, the environment. Divert resources in order to make the wealthier richer and more powerful) Also, any plutocrat, no matter how stupid or psychopathic will be able to get elected just on the basis of foreign and corporate influence as well as lies and misinformation. Democratic politicians will have to become just as corrupt as republicans in order to get elected. The same thing happened when republicans started backing lobbying and special interests, Democrats had to do the same in order to remain relevant.
When it comes to executive power republicans are outright dangerous. Democrats will be unable to apply the same divisive tactics used by the republicans in the legislature. If Democrats threatened to filibuster they will be met with a backlash of unprecedented proportions, even threats by the executive branch will be enough to divide the Democratic senate thus preventing a filibuster. It's not as if republicans care about the legislative branch at all, considering how much power they feel the executive should have. These are the same people that accuse others of being dictators and undemocratic so their lack of rationality is terrifying, especially after considering what their goals are.
I think that we should not tolerate the intolerant. We should not consider the realities of republicans to be at all significant. They are the subhumans of our era.
