Frankly, the odds of that

happening are lower than the odds of being struck by lightning on the same day you win the lottery.
I agree. And they get lower by the day.
But it really is the only viable way out of the broken mess our political system is in. Voters have to start refusing to support candidates who have only lies and vile rhetoric to offer. Only then will the GOP ever return to good faith governing. When voters tell them anything else is unacceptable, regardless of party affiliation.
As you point out, this is a pretty tall order when a chunk of the electorate is MAGA brainwashed, a chunk treats politics like a team sport, and a chunk are low information and/or lack basic critical thinking skills. Or all of the above.
