Will the US become permanently Democrat-controlled?

[Salus Maior]

I doubt that the US would ever devolve into a one-party society, considering history and a cultural-wide hatred of monarchy. Although, I fear that there's a good chance the two-party system will remain for the foreseeable "forever" and become its doom.

What does a one-party society have to do with monarchy?

Most monarchies in modern memory were/are multiparty systems.

[Big Jim P]

Still better than anyone since Reagan,

Another one of the terrible presidents.

or anyone the dems are trying to foist on us.

Well this is just plain false.

There is not a single decent policy being put forth by any of the dem clownshow, and some are downright batshit insane and/or treasonous.

Reagan was one of only two good Presidents in my lifetime (I start the list with Carter). The rest are bad (Obama and Carter), or mediocre (the rest of them).

If you only read Biden’s policies, this statement would be true.

I’m sure you can give examples.

Good by what metric?

[Internationalist Bastard]

Pfffft. No, nothing will kill our two party system

I really like that thing where he illegally gave missiles to Iran to fund terrorists

[Olde Carolina]

We made it through the civil war, there is no way this breaks us apart as some are saying. Just because Trump is biggly popular with the GOP now doesn't mean his brand always will be.

Well if not nationalism and populism, where does the GOP go? Because George Bush/Mitt Romney-style conservatism is dead and not coming back.

Populism isn't right or left. You can still have populist talking points and move left on healthcare. The GOP could win more votes IMHO if they kept their low tax emphasis and their increasing emphasis on less global involvement, but embraced more government regulation of healthcare. I don't expect that to happen, but if it did they would win back a lot of those suburban districts.

^i m not american. as far as i ve read, Carter and Reagan were good. it s Kennedy and Nixon in case, that were modest.

why do guys, often ignorant, in forums say shubby about Carter? besides clawing for success, he also was prophet of military-industrial complex.

[Weschenburg]

I'm just gonna go by the assumption that the dominant party will always absorb more controversy. With how bipartisan the US is, I doubt there will be a Democratic monopoly of politics any time soon. The public likes drama too much for that.

I really liked that thing where he blamed the gays for the AIDS crisis and did less than nothing to try and help it.

I really liked that thing where he implemented Trickle-down Economics and wealth tax loopholes within the nation, thus killing the middle class, making the poor poorer, and allowing the rich to become even richer, creating a massive wealth and socioeconomic disparity.

[The JELLEAIN Republic]

Opposition will always rise to the party in control.

[Tobleste]

In fact, it is way more likely they will start shifting their policies to appease Latinos as they are, after all, mostly white and Christian..

They have been saying this since the 1990s. I don't think it's going to happen.

Since the 1990s, Republicans have lost the popular vote in 6 of 7 presidential elections. Demographics have produced a Democrat majority but the Senate, voting laws and the EC have allowed Republicans to maintain power by becoming a minority party. Eventually the numbers game will cost them ad their base shrinks. They can only twist the rules so far.

[Chatsland]

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

Same thing that some Democrats said during 2016. Like the Republicans said during 2016 "Love it or leave it".

If he means truly permanent then, I may have to take up that leave offer as a One party controlled country is not exactly a recipe for good times. What I'm saying is id rather not be here if America becomes another Germany/Russia incident lol.

[Aeritai]

I doubt the Democrats will keep their power if they are able to control both the White House and the Senate. There will be another party that will try to challenge them while the Republican party disappears or just changes into a new party.

There could also be a fracture within what we currently call The Democratic Party.
It's happened before, a few times.
The Dixiecrats of 1948 & 1968 eventually split and joined the GOP over the course of several years.

Divided government is actually desirable for the average American. No president since Jimmy Carter had the same party controlling both Houses of Congress for their whole term. And the Democrats weren't exactly in ideological lock-step during the Carter years.

The founders didn't envision political parties as a check on power, but they would likely appreciate another check on executive power, even if it wasn't one designed or envisioned by themselves.

What you don’t want to be apart of the People’s Democratic Union of America comrade?

[Siornor]

No.

[Phoenicaea]

^i find _Cechzostan post in last pages is pretty good. also, it describes what i wished to say.

[New Paradigm]

It won't. Republicans will either shift to the left, or be replaced by another party. There will always be another party

Nobody should aspire to be the party of Karens.

Remember when the President elected people who are qualified into the cabinet whether they were the same political party or not? I think we should go back to this system.
