You're assuming that if the Republicans lose now they'll disappear (or deradicalize) and then you can return to normal politics, but that's not how it actually goes is it? Every time they lose they just come back stronger because the establishment has no answer to the issues giving them (entirely undeserved) credibility. This is why "one more election then we can fix things" has been the rhetoric for decades yet the light at the end of the electoral tunnel never comes; these victories will never stick unless you can make things happen with them, which means the arguments about fixing things must happen at the same time as the arguments about stopping fascism.
