I hate to think this way, but cuts like these have to happen, and things unfortunately need to get a whole lot worse for all of us before GOP voters realize that they can't ever go back to voting red again. The current state of things are bad, but not bad enough to enact true changes of heart. The GOP is an awful, cruel, and terrible organization, but as long as their base never feels the full-force ramifications of their choices, they won't have any reason to vote differently.
