The GOP suffered some pretty serious defeats in 2006 & 2008, got taken over by their base (an astroturfed base, but a base nonetheless), played the hardball they wanted, and ended up, over a dozen years or so, being able to roll back a lot of shit they did not like, pack SCOTUS, and put their own avatar in the Oval Office for two terms and counting.
If the same thing happened for the Democrats, I'd be thrilled, but the Republican party has electoral advantages the Democrats don't (both the EC & Senate make-up, plus the fact that "moderate" Republicans will hold their nose and vote for candidates they dislike while their counterparts in the Democratic party often won't do the same), so I guess we'll just have to see....
