Will the US become permanently Democrat-controlled?

[Arthenius]

With mass illegal migration into the United States through the southern border, especially if Republicans lose Texas which is very close in that same area do you think Donald Trump will be the last Republican president in the United States. I mean, what other way can the US Republican Party do to continue national electoral relevance without becoming just as the same as the Democrats? A quasi one-party Democrat-controlled WH or federal legislature makes me feel pretty nervous about my country's own future and integrity.

What are the opinions of other NSers particularly from America on this one?

[Salus Maior]

No. Politics is still going to be shifting like it always has.

[Borovan entered the region as he]

Yes

[Rainbowsix]

if the U.S. becomes permanently democratic imma find another country to go to that wouldnt be a train wreck

[Bear Stearns]

When it gets to the point that demographics prevent Republicans from winning national elections then I'd expect US politics to just begin breaking down entirely. At best, we go breakup somewhat peacefully like the USSR and everyone is moderately happy. Moderate scenario is we hang on like a Latin American country as a corrupt shithole but one that has its nice pockets and still managed to limp on.

Worst case scenario is Yugoslavia meets South Africa.

Imagine the fate of the USSR being the ideal outcome.

[Arthenius]

And update, not saying that the Republicans as a party are necessarily that much better either.

Also the US has external potential security threats too, including an EMP type one. America is the largest superpower but it's current top standard isn't immortal.

No. Everyone might become more like modern Democrats then Republicans, but what defines each party will shift with the country.

I don't know how sure that is and even so, that shift might not always be for the better.

[Neanderthaland]

No. Democrats might control the government for a while, but if that keeps happening Republicans will shift their strategy, or a new party will emerge to challenge them.

America has shifted a million times before, it can do it again. The Federalists were absorbed, the Whigs gone, the Republicans and Democrats have nothing to do with their original or even historically recent variants. This happens all the time just about every where.

ITT: People worrying about one party dominating US politics for an extended period. No, not the crypto-fascist one that is increasingly abandoning the "crypto-" part, the other one. Yes, the sane one that is liberal, pro-democracy, and objectively broadly good*. Yes that one. Pearl-clutching at its finest.

*The Bernie communist fringe aside. Thankfully they have absolutely, positively no power aside from getting armchair revolutionaries excited and posting on their socialist subreddit of choice.

I hope not!

Look i am pro Trump and live America. It saddens me to say unless the America people stand with pride it's a real possibility.

"Objectively broadly good"

Hating liberalism is biting the hand that feeds you freedom, prosperity and justice. Yes, the Democratic Party is the only game in town, and the Clintonite/Blue Reaganite mainline is pretty damn good.

[Meikaii]

One can only hope it does. The party of sadism and masochism needs to go.

I don't hate liberalism, I hate the people who oppose freedom, prosperity, and justice. Like Democrats.

Isn't the same faction (along with neocons) that let China into the WTO, gave us a war in Iraq, stripped our freedoms with the PATRIOT Act, caused the subprime mortgage crisis, destroyed Libya, and has attempted to do the same in Syria? All while pretending to be "woke" on the home front while sucking up to Corporate America?

Yeah...fuck those people.

Then you're delusional. (Most) Dems (again, with the exception of the powerless Bernie fringe that's going nowhere way too fast) are positively in love with freedom. The party of black and hispanic enfranchisement, homosexual marriage, gender equality, free trade and open borders, among many other things. What among these positions is in opposition to freedom, prosperity, or justice?

"open borders"

I thought Republicans were "dogwhistling" when they accused Democrats of that. Now you openly support it.

[Stellonia]

The electoral system of the United States (i.e. first-past-the-post) inevitably leads to a two-party system. Both parties will adapt to the cultural, ideological and demographic changes of the present and future. Either that or they will become irrelevant and a new party will assume their place.

Right, it's the Dems who want to go back to when the darkies and the queers knew their place and abortion was taboo. It's the Dems who stand firm behind a figurehead consistently lies and demonstrates childlike immaturity - and defend that person even after they all but confess outright on TV.

You've made it clear you're a single-issue voter, Tel, but you should at least recognize it's not the only issue.

That's rude, is rudeness also a part of their beliefs?
