I'm just saying the Dems got slaughtered in the last 2 mid-terms, and I expect that to continue because their voters only turn out for the big ticket elections. Not enough of them care about local elections to make a serious run at anything.

And worse yet, the map of Senate seats up for re-election in 2018 is absolutely brutal for the Democrats, who could very well lose the filibuster if the map holds up.

If they do lose the filibuster, the Republicans will go full retard: The income tax will get replaced with a national sales tax, EMTALA will be repealed, there will be a national right-to-work law, Social Security and Medicare will be privatized, and many other things that will touch off a wave of mass emigration that will ensure the Republicans' domination of the country virtually in perpetuity.

You paint such a rosy picture.  Sadly, I suspect you're not entirely correct.  Would be great, though.

In politics, as in Dantean allegory, everything relates to everything else - and the expulsion of the illegal aliens relates to getting other blue constituencies to leave the country.  If the illegals are kicked out, who would be "recruited" to take their place as lettuce pickers in California's Central Valley, stall-muckers on Kentucky horse farms, and so on?  Answer: African-Americans, after the latter have been priced out of the cities by the relentless campaign of gentrefaction - my personal term for it, to make it sound like "putrefaction" - that is pretty much complete in San Francisco, New York City, Boston, and Seattle, and will soon spread to other cities, with Ben "Dathan" Carson (anyone who has ever seen The Ten Commandments will know what I mean by that) doing all he can to accelerate it as the new HUD secretary.  These righties are thinking BIG: They want to roll back not only the Great Society and even the New Deal, but also the Great Migration of blacks to the urban North that began with the outbreak of World War I in Europe in 1914, and even the circa-1900 labor reforms and antitrust legislation.

But rather than revert to becoming de-facto slaves once again, the blacks will emigrate en masse - and just about every other day I read a new Marcus Garvey-like "Back To Africa" blog on facebook.

And a ratcheting up of muscular evangelicalism will be enough to make most Jews want to exercise their rights under the Law Of Return.

Yes, Slobodan Milosevic's Yugoslavia - it can happen here.
