The modern GOP is a cult of personality with almost no room for dissent
and where the dissent exists, it’s because some people think it’s fucking awesome to put up ads calling child rape victims a liar
and others saying well maybe that’s a half-step too far.
But I actually do think the Republicans’ future is pretty bright
and the reason for that is that there’s no evidence that extremism is going to make one bit of difference in their electoral success over the long …

Republican Optimism - Lawyers, Guns & Money
Some National Review guy wrote a Times op-ed about 10 days ago that said basically “sure, Democrats are going to do well in November, but long term, Republicans are gold.” It’s worth at least considering some of this.

This is a great book so far. Highly recommend it.
