Subject: Re: The NY Times, Dem party death spiral
I vehemently disagree with pronouncements of 'death spiral'.

In a tribal, stupid country - the Sheeple need a new flavor of the month all the time. Yeah, Karl Rove's Republican Supermajority was gonna rule forever......until Obama took two terms.

Then the "demographic" of the country would shift - self hating White Sheeple types were so gleeful that the evil white persons will be outnumbered and that kills the Republican Party.

And then Trump. Won. twice. partially thanks to non white citizens.

And now here we are talking "Dem Death Spiral".

Yes, they have problems Yes, they will fight it out ---are they a Coastal Yoga Mom party of the blue-haired-I-cut-off-my-penis-and-want-the-world-to-know-it party? OR will they be the party of - stupid things like education, Social Security, health care.

But..... if Republicans keep messing with things, or even TALK of messing with things like Social Security, health care, food stamps, etc....they will make things MUCH easier for Democrats. And at that point if extremists and slaves and followers like Tmf Sheeple are told to sit down and shut up, and let a Bill Clinton-esque regime be the standard bearer, we on the Right will be the Democrat's bitch for a little while and who knows, they might even increase SCOTUS seats.

You will have more "wave" elections not because one party is better -- but because due to bad culture, bad globalist socioeconomic policies, LACK of investment in - people - people will always be not content. They will be desperate. Dissatisfied. Insolvent---mainly because the march away from traditional culture, family units, and traditional anchors of life were traded in for the Whazzup-Dawg-Peloton-Chipotle-SideHustle life and therefore they will toss out the incumbent for no reason other than they feel their life sucking a bit.

Now for the fun part. After decades of being demure - MAGA rose up in the GOP. And in 2016 - did the impossible and won BUT think: Trump was NOT majority winner many times. It was SOLELY HIM GETTING MAGA VOTE. The google-jockey-establishment-vote was being SPLIT multiple ways be it Marco, Teddy, whatever.

So think. What if the progressives have their MAGA moment? What if they say screw you, we're not moderating. And let's say "AOC" who "can't win" is running. Imagine - Shapiro, besmear, Pritzker, etc split the moderate Dem vote...... and AOC gets nominated no differently than Trump did in 2016 and if it's a wave election - and she's promising to give the people of this country the basics the Republicans might be taking away ----- stranger things have happened people.

I don't think either party is in a death spiral.

As long as your culture continues to decline, and your match away from the the good life is promoted, and people's expectations are artificially high --- BOTH parties will exploit it and take turns benefitting from it.


Like iv'e said - 2020's are the good ol' days.

Oddly I'm less giddy about it than usual today. Weak moment I guess.
