I don't really buy the destruction of America through Republican evil, the system has too many checks and balances, and any party that gets elected knows that any radical change will probably cause them to lose elections.
Plus unless the supreme court gets reconstituted anything nutty is probably going to get challenged and over ruled.
People said the same thing about Harper and the Conservatives and hinted at hidden agenda's but they really never came to pass because a saavy politician and leader knows that the path of destruction is littered with civil right errors.
