(8,200 posts)147. If anyone thinks that the GOP will magically transform itself they are delusional.
The White Southern Evangelical, Flat Earthers, anti-evolutionists, are they backbone of the Republican Party.

If the GOP suddenly disassociates themselves from them they only constituency they will have left is the old White over 65 grumps.
