What I mean when I say I want the republicans to lose power permanently

 Okay, so, long time followers should know what I mean, but I'll just post a few pics to make my point.

Here's the 1932 electoral map:

 And here's 1936:

 

And, alternatively, here's 1980 and 1984:

These are what we call "realigning elections." They happen about once in a generation. They aren't always as clean as this, but most of the time, you got the 2 parties "realigning", where the arrangement is favorable to one, but not the other. Ideally, one side is able to blow out the other side so bad it shifts politics for an entire generation. We've had 6 party alignments so far, and I'd argue since 2016, we've been working on #7. 

However, I would argue that we're not necessarily at the big realignment yet, but a weird awkward period, similar to that period between 1968 and 1980 where the New Deal coalition imploded and then the GOP rose again. Let's show some maps showing that:

Here's 1964, the last of the new deal years: 

 Her'es 1968. Take note of George Wallace taking the south, and fracturing the New Deal Coalition:

Here's 1972, which was a blowout, we actually can see Reagan's coalition start to form here, arguably:

But Nixon himself was relatively moderate still by republican standards, and then Watergate tanked him. This allowed the democrats to come back:

But then Reagan came along, BTFOed him, and he won 2 elections commandingly, and then, much like FDR in 1940 (not shown), Bush won in 1988 similarly (not shown either).

Basically, I want the country to turn on Trump so hard we start looking like the New Deal again. I want public opinion to shift SO MUCH to the left, that we just BTFO the right.

Now, does that mean that I want one party rule? No. Eventually, the other party comes back, we saw this with Eisenhower in 1952 and Clinton in 1992, but take note of those elections, both of them ran as moderates, and by that point, ran as more moderate reflections of the other side's politics. Eisenhower was a New Deal Republican, and Clinton was a relatively conservative "third way" democrat. 

I want to see the GOP and its coalition eviscerated so much on the national stage, that the GOP drops the fascist crap, drops the "small government" crap, and is forced to moderate to the center. I want the left to be the side that projects its values, and the right forced to offer a more moderate alternative. Ya know, the opposite of what we have now. Since 2008, the GOP actually has been screwed. The Reagan coalition faltered, but then Obama failed to do anything with that momentum, and despite Bernie being a viable 2016 candidate, we got Hillary instead, which got us Trump. And Trump, he never had a mandate, he won by slim margins. Then Biden did the same in 2020. Slim margins. 2024 was looking to be more substantial under Biden, where Trump's map could have represented a realignment, but the dems staunched the bleeding with Harris, and we got a more moderate 2016 style loss instead.

Now, again, in 2024, Trump NEVER had a mandate. He's trying to push the country as hard in his direction as he can, and to break democracy, preparing the country for permanent minority rule, but he's not really succeeding, and with 2025's backlash, the republicans fear that everything Trump did might be undone. 

Good, because I dont think the real realignment happened yet. I want the blue tsunami. That 1932, 1936 style electoral map that BTFOs the republican party. Granted, it'll never be that extreme. I think this is the absolute best case for democrats:

However, if it happened, and something like it happened TWICE, it would be a strong repudiation of the GOP and force them to the center. But yeah, this is what I want. And how do we get there? We need a strong, charismatic candidate with a vision to deliver on. No centrists, no Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom, we need an FDR type figure. A "democratic socialist" could do it. So could a "human centered capitalist", but yeah. You get in power, make people so happy they wanna keep coming out in droves to vote for you over and over again, and maybe something like this can happen. That's what I want. And it can happen, if Trump gets unpopular enough, if he fails to rig the system, and we get a charismatic enough democrat with a strong enough vision to motivate a generation of voters. It's been looming on the horizon for a while, and right now, it's make or break. We gotta stop and repudiate Trump, or we get fascism and the map goes the other way. This is the map I wanna see. This is what I want. And this is why I've been pushing for my vision so much on this blog. This is how you solve the problems we have and make it happen. UBI, medicare for all, free college, public housing, possibly a green new deal, reduced work week, higher wages, etc. We need government action that makes people happy, repudiating a generation of conservatism. Let's make it happen.
