I have the same hope, but the GOP has done enough damage to the society and country that I grew up and live in within my lifetime that I will categorically never vote for a Republican.

We have a two party system, very frustratingly (and feel free to apply your own additional adverbs) entrenched. If that’s the game we’re forced to play, fuck the Republicans with a rusty pole. If the people who started the party were here, I’m fairly confident they’d do their level best to physically accost and dethrone the current leadership of the GOP.
