The more capitalist it becomes the more they call it communist.
I don't care that much for Hasan either way but that is a perfect take.

I actually wonder if covid actually killed enough of them. So many analysts were doing all kinds of gymnastics to explain what happened in the 2022 elections because they were uncharacteristically weak for Republicans.
With the number of people who died, and considering most of them were middle aged to elderly, I think it was enough to sway electoral results from the normal trendline. It was their election to lose and they lost many seats by very narrow margins.
There will be even less of them in 2024. The republican party is built on boomerism and its a fading political power that has hoarded any kind of middle class wealth that existed by mortgaging the country's future.
If electoralism is actually going to play a hand... long term I see the parties flipping if the Republicans can't win national elections anymore. The Democrats will happily become the conservative ruling party and the Republican party would have to reform and likely drop unwinnable social issues. Their dance with fascism isn't really even backed up with material conditions in the country, basically I think the fascists are playing their hand too early.
The Democratic Party will just knee-cap themselves more to make up for it. Normal people don't get to have any bit of input on what they're subjected to in the US.
That sounds about right. At the end of the day, they will find a way to lose because they don't want to win.
It's not that fascists are playing their hand too early, it's that fascism is more likely to come from the Democrats imo than the Republicans. I mean, it's both parties working in tandem pushing things to the right that make it work, but if anyone can convince America to 'do a fascism' it will be the Democrats.
There are less old republican voters but the voting pool will be shrunk more than ever in 2024 due to gerrymandering and voting rights restrictions. Old crazy wealthy conservatives don't need the numbers, they have the power.
