Will schoolchildren twenty years from now ask their teacher, "What was a Republican"?

Yep. There is a growing Latino population in Texas and they tend to be liberal. Once the Democrats have Texas and California, every presidential election is in the bag for the Dems.

No. The American political system is so rigged that that there will certainly be a party called "Republican" twenty years from now. Although it is possible that it will resemble the current Republican party about as much as the conservative pro-tariff and business isolationists of the late 30s resembled the Progressive monopoly-busting Republican party of Teddy Roosevelt.

They may.

The teacher can answer. It is the political party of President Romney and President Ryan.

I see you are assuming that public schools will be even worse than they are now and the union hacks will be completely in capable of teaching our children even basic current events

Your crystal ball is as opaque as mine.

One thing is clear: Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Robert Taft, and even Richard Nixon are without doubt spinning their graves right now asking "who are these bumbling ignorance-worshipping hypocrite bozos who call themselves Republicans in 2012?"

So, are you thinking the left is going to abolish the democratic system and go under dictatorship, if they win this time?

There's always going to be at least 2 major parties.

And the school teacher will answer, a homophobic sexist rascist rich White man!

Ad then the child will have nightmares for weeks!

No they will be taught about the Koch Brothers and Stalins connection...Corrupt Tea Party and the idiots who followed them on Propaganda

It depends on whether the conservatives follow Rush Limbaugh's advice after they lose in November.

Yeah, if there is one thing the last election tells us, the Republicans are toast. Excellent point.

No, because the Unions have destroyed schools and you'll be lucky to even get teachers in the school to actually teach.
