Oh. My. God.

It finally happened.

This could have "interesting" repercussions. a lot of cities have laws that forbid facilities being used by recognized hate groups. Just imagine the fun if such laws got invoked against the republicans.

Of course, the odds are that city officials would choke at that prospect, but I'm sure there are folks whop'd cheerully sue said cities for ignoring the lawes.

Oh yes, the cat is among the pigeons for sure.

Unlike some folks, I'm not going to predict the imminent demise of the GOP.

But I do have to wonder what we'd get as a second party if they do go under. If we *don't* get some sort of replacement, things could get kinda wonky because the Democrats are far from saints and having no viable counterbalance could get ugly.

I'm not seeing anywhere in the article it says "The Republican Party is now officially a hate group". It says a lot about how the current Republican party and candidates contribute to the development and activity thereof, but not explicitly that the whole party is now considered one. Which legally makes ALL the difference.
