What do you guys think of my future election prediction map

Democrats become the party of the well-off, Republicans become the party of poor and religious blacks, whites, and Hispanics.

Why else would you make a big deal out of her gender unless you thought it was a reason to vote for her?

I cannot fathom so many rural states turning to the Democrats, particularly over the issue of firearms, which seems to be a rather eccentric thing for Americans.

Trash.

But I do like your assumption of the Democrats becoming the party of the wealthy elites and Republicans becoming the parting of the proles and peasants.

Absolutely.

Last major female candidate I can think of who was a woman was Carly Fiorina, running on a record as a businesswoman; one that happened not to be as sketchy as Trump's was as a businessman.

The Republican Party is built on contradictions; a mish-mash of former non-interventionism with modern interventionism; a former slave-freeing party that turned into the racist one when Democrats co-opted the anti-racist vote in the 60s. To cap it off, it tries to call itself the party of freedom when pushing for capitalism, the end result of which is businesspeople buying politicians' loyalty, which made its own party's voters turn to Trump. Any further insanity is a drop in the bucket.

The GOP could go full circle for Jeffersonian Democracy and the Democrats serve the role of the Federalists.

Fiorina's business record never had the great comeback that Trump claimed in his, whether it be true or false.

Hmm? They vote male most of the time.

Let's face it, men and women combined, among supporters of each party, vote male. 2016 being the exception, (possibly on account of who the most mainstream male was) only a minority of "people as a whole" vote female. Does this not suggest that this gender role is the will of the people?

One good thing that Donald Trump is doing that too many people aren't aware of. It should be noted that the Medical lobbies are suing to stop this, whilst making a pitiful argument that people knowing prices before any medical procedures will just confuse patients.

We can't let Joe Biden win this November because he's on the side of the hospitals and medical providers that're ripping people off and that purposely don't want themselves to be subject to market forces. If Biden gets in, it means the price transparency that'll be forced on medical providers will end before it even begins, and they can go back to their previous games of jacking up prices to give private insurers fake discounts that're more accurately just mark downs from margin.

Biden is going to start giving regular coronavirus shadow press briefings because Trump keeps lying during the official ones.

Former vice presidents get security briefings and remain at the highest clearance level, so he might actually become more credible than the president about what's happening in the country.
