Republicans are so shit at strategy that they thought that the Iraq War, Fox News and Social wedge issues were a good long-term idea. All their chickens are coming home to roost.
Put aside, for a second, if you actually agree with their insane policies and consider that they're simply useless at a) predicting the future b) being on the right side of history or c) implementing policies that get them winning outcomes.
The result is a destabilized middle-east, legalized gay marriage everywhere, a demographic map that's going to make it nearly impossible for them to win a presidential election ever again and Donald Trump style candidates.
Total failure on every. singe. level.
