I think what we’ve been seeing since 2022 is that there is a line that was crossed that energized young adults to actually vote. Historically, this is the demographic that doesn’t vote. The GOP have been losing in state and federal elections because of it.
I personally believe that if we see more hardline far-right GOP fill seats, they will fill less and less seats. The GOP will then have to split into two basically to survive. Then, I’d imagine, we’d see the far-right die off.
We saw something similar, though more minor and swifter when this happened when the GOP started to split into the ‘Tea Party’. This would probably be a bigger culling that will last a lot longer.
If it doesn’t happen that way, the GOP just won’t survive as a major party.
In the US, registered voters for the DNC only account for 27% exactly the same for the RNC at 27% with the remaining 45% as registered Independent. This is in contrast to 2004 where only 27% of the registered voters were Independent. Source (Gallup).
At the best outcome, hopefully, this will introduce other parties that will also be considered ‘major’ parties and have a chance on ballots all over the country. This could be a catalyst for real change in the US, if the GOP can’t get it’s shit together.
