24. I don't think it's that Republicans don't get it; they don't WANT to.

Anyone with a brain can see that the GOP platform is in dire need of revamping if they want to win a national election fair-and-square again. They know that they're going to have to advocate an agenda that helps people besides Mr. I Make A Million Dollars A Year, but it seems to me that they want to continue trying to sell turd sandwiches, except in fancier-looking wrapping paper. They're counting on their strategy of both gerrymandering themselves into power (such as what happened with Congress) and making it inconvenient for enough potential Democrats to vote. It's a shame because it's important for a country to have a well-functioning multi-party system, but the GOP nowadays only offers ideas that are toxic to the majority of the country. I'm starting to wonder if we're better off without them.
