    They are, but they're also destabilizing their party with petty squabbles. They haven't reached some kind of political equilibrium where they can keep doing this indefinitely.

    The Soviet Union seemed like it was here to stay right up until the moment it suddenly wasn't. Things happened very fast over the course of just a few days, and everyone was blindsided by it. I think the GOP might be heading for that same situation.

      Definitely won't last forever, but hard to say how long they have. Hoping things fall apart for them sooner vs later so we can actually have a functioning government.
