  • This is something the Democrats have been doing since Carter. Majority of voters simply ignored all their appeals to the right-wing and heard what they wanted to. All it takes are a few sweet-nothings about a pet issue to make them think the Democrats care.

    Even now you have people claiming the Democrats will be better for immigrants and have less wars despite the politicians themselves showing otherwise.

    I don’t think this is the end of the Republican Party either. I’ll be convinced when they fail to hold the house for over thirty consecutive years. They’ve had two periods where Democrats held the house for over a decade before they made their comebacks. The longest period being 24 years.

    The senate is a different story and a part of government the Republicans have only had recent success in during the late 90’s and late 2010’s.

    That’s not even covering the stranglehold they have on state governments, majority of which are Republican at this moment.

    It’s more likely that this will be a situation similar to the Great Depression/ww2 period and that of the 60’s/70’s in which the Republicans were doing poorly and figuring out where they would go as a party before yet another unifying figure appeared.
