One party rule, rampant corruption.
Here is what you get with no regulations or safety standards or government enforcing rules & building codes. This is what happens when you refuse to control pollution.
In the USA we get the Sago Mine collapse, bridges collapsing, West Texas blown off the map. People with no tornado shelters.
In China they get:

Levels of deadly pollutants up to 40 times the recommended exposure limit in Beijing and other cities have struck fear into parents and led them to take steps that are radically altering the nature of urban life for their children.
Parents are confining sons and daughters to their homes, even if it means keeping them away from friends. Schools are canceling outdoor activities and field trips. Parents with means are choosing schools based on air-filtration systems, and some international schools have built gigantic, futuristic-looking domes over sports fields to ensure healthy breathing.

The only way the Republican Party can remain in existence is to roll back all the progress that democrats, liberals and progressives have made over the past 100-150 years and refight the same battles over again. Refight labour conditions. Refight civil rights. Refight woman's suffrage. Refight environmental laws. And refight even science.

They know it. But this time we know it too.
