What progressives need to defeat Trump: populism and religion

[Major Nikon]

66. The GOP started allying with the religionists back in the 60's

Now they run the party.

Noam Chomsky describes himself as an anarchist, which is a far more nuanced position than the vandalizing shitheels who gather the most publicity. I am somewhat an anarchist in that I believe all government power should be perpetually justifying itself or dismantled. I don't feel that's all that radical, but the problem with allying with such folks is the shitheels will always find ways to worm their way in. The same can be said for trying to ally with religionists.

Alliances aren't always situational and temporary. The suggestion the OP makes has about as much chance as a fart in a whirlwind, but what happens if it actually was successful? Once the GOP's religionists start to loose influence, they will undoubtedly seek it on the other side. If anyone wants to vote for democrats, I say if it feels good do it. That doesn't mean I want to be their allies.
