I'll take any odds you're offering.
They've spent the last 40 years veering further and further right, consolidating their base of bigots whilst alienating everyone else.
Even if there was a will to pivot left (which there isn't), an entire party doesn't become everything it hates in 6 years.
The Republican Party shifted from left to right in the 1960s. There isn't growth on the right, there is encredible growth on the left. MAGA and Progressives already have a lot in common on policy ideas, a hate for government, that shift isn't that hard to do.
Very much agree to disagree on that one. You're asking all the idiots who were told to hate woke people that they're now best buds with them. You're assuming the progressives are going to come down with a case of collective amnesia and not tell these people to jump off a cliff.
Come on.
Wait and see, the GOP is a business and they follow where the money is and that isn't to the right.
The money is always on the right.
30 years ago it was, not anymore.
How many progressive billionaires are there? How many far right libertarian billionaires are there?
You're just plain wrong on this one.
