Let's hope they don't.

The Democrats are in a precarious position now.
They have not only alientated ANYONE that is Centrist-Liberal and to the right of that..... but their national party is HATED by the far left Socialists/Communists within it. It is literally eating itself.
Hakeem Jeffries is struggling to distance himself from the Socialist Far Left flank - and now they want to primary Jeffries in NYC.
All while Trump has been effective at MOST of his domestic and foreign policy initiatives.

Democrat birth rates have collapsed much faster than Republican birth rates as well.
A 2018 study from the Institute for Family Studies found that women who identify as conservative or Republican-leaning have a total fertility rate (TFR) of about 2.0 children per woman, compared to roughly 1.6 for women identifying as liberal or Democratic-leaning. This gap of 0.4 children per woman translates to conservatives having about 25% higher fertility.
Post-2020 Context: The Demographic Intelligence Family Survey (DIFS) from 2020 to 2022 indicates a widening fertility gap between religious and nonreligious Americans, suggesting that devout groups (including Conservative Christians among Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestants) maintain higher fertility than secular groups.
While the birth rate among Conservatives did experience decline, the decline was far-far sharper among Liberals. There are also numerous left/liberal folks who believe having children 'hurts the environment' along with a far far higher rate of abortion amongst liberal women.
I believe the 2030 census will show that Conservative birth rates will have increased in the .2 to .3 range while the Liberal birth rate declines further. This also does not take into account that Conservatives are far more likely to adopt than Liberals as well.
This is a part of the long term math against the Democrats that can only be offset by unfettered immigration of people groups that are dependent on Democrat handouts... which creates Democrat voters.

There are people who hate Trump so much, they would rather continue seeing more crime than agree with Trump that it should be reduced. What a time to be alive.

The shifts also previewed Democratic weaknesses in 2024. The party saw some of its steepest declines in registration among men and younger voters, the Times analysis found two constituencies that swung sharply toward Mr. Trump.

But Democrats are divided and flummoxed over what to do.

The number of people who consider themselves independent is increasing. A lot of these people who do not affiliate with either party will still show up and vote for a centrist-sounding Dem over a MAGA Republican.
Democrats have done a better job of fitting Congressional candidates to districts than Republicans over the last several cycles.

Hopefully this translates into a victory the next two election cycles. The next time a Dem takes the presidency, the border is gone.
The article is not paywalled.Quote:
The Democratic Party is hemorrhaging voters long before they even go to the polls.
Of the 30 states that track voter registration by political party, Democrats lost ground to Republicans in every single one between the 2020 and 2024 elections and often by a lot.
That four-year swing toward the Republicans adds up to 4.5 million voters, a deep political hole that could take years for Democrats to climb out from.Quote:
All told, Democrats lost about 2.1 million registered voters between the 2020 and 2024 elections in the 30 states, along with Washington, D.C., that allow people to register with a political party. (In the remaining 20 states, voters do not register with a political party.) Republicans gained 2.4 million.

And that is where Gerrymandering in the Blue States comes in. Illinois is a good example with California right behind.
Never underestimate a Democrat for they will go all out to win, by hook or by crook.
They have been doing this for decades along with complacent Republicans allowing them to get away with their shenanigans, dirty tricks, and of course, "the big lie"..

You clearly have put your fingers in your ears on the math and how things now are not remotely what they were even 10 years ago. Been explained to you before. Nothing last forever. I guess in your ostrich world this can go on forever.

You have to wonder exactly how many of our tax dollars the sorry SOBs spent each year to 'recruit' and register D voters. I'm sure they have a secret stash that's off the books and leftover somewhere from USAID/NGO but will it be enough? Organic support doesn't provide nearly enough voters.
They have nothing at all to sell, except for doling out some scraps but even those are drying up w Trump. It turns out much of the 'identity politics' support was smoke and mirrors.
Will be interesting to watch their fundraising. Trump will definitely keep a spotlight on any corporate support and apply public pressure where needed.
Oh, the key is the MSM is withering on the vine. Lots of stars are lining up for the Rs if they get their sh_t together with messaging IMO.

That's the great thing about Dems, they spend like drunken sailors and do graft on a scale like no other. They are not savers, they are spenders so the USAID spigot turning off was a HUGE body blow to them.

Nice job with the list.
Would one of our left-leaning posters please explain how you support the above? Please take them one by one. TIA.
