In the short term sure, probably.
In the long run? I’m not so sure.
It feels like, a period of major change may be sprouting. Trump has been a massive shake up to the Republican Party. Eventually he’ll die. Nobody knows how the party’ll handle that, or what it’ll look like after. This last primary cycle they had several debates, offering the public lots of options. That’s how democracy is supposed to work. The Democrats on the other hand, refused to hold any debates. Even when lots of people were questioning Biden’s health and ability. They even canceled a number of state primaries. That’s kind of the opposite of a democratic process. And even now, rather than searching for a replacement for Biden, they’re more or less all rallying around Harris. Basically right now, the Republicans are embracing the will of their voters, while the Democrats aren’t even pretending to ask their for voters opinions.
It’s happened before. Republicans were the progressives at their founding, and Democrats the conservatives. They’ve trades places once. There’s no reason to think it couldn’t happen again. It doesn’t happen over night, but it does happen faster than you think. In 20 years the political landscape in the US might be very different.
I’m also keeping an eye on the Forward Party. They’re doing things very differently than any other 3rd party. And Represent US along with Forward, are trying to change the very process of voting. We’ll see how that effects things if they’re successful.
Eventually he’ll die. Nobody knows how the party’ll handle that, or what it’ll look like after
History gives us some ideas… What happened after Alexander the Great died? Or Genghis Kahn…? The “empire” collapses into infighting and several “warlords” all vying to take the reins shatter into warring camps. It’ll be the end of the Republican party as we know it, and we’ll have 20+ minor groups, all with varying degrees of hatred fueling their “politics.”
Immediately yes. But I’m thinking after that. Once the dust settled, what will the new Republican Party be like? That’s difficult to predict. Will it even be called the Republican Party? We’ll have to wait and see.
