Current Events > After 30 Years, MORE Americans now Identify as REPUBLICAN rather than Democrat!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

In more dire news for Democrats, support for the Democratic party has took a plunge in the latest gallup poll as more americans now identify as Republican rather than Democrat as Biden is facing mounting criticism over inflation and COVID response ahead of the November midterms where Congress AND Senate could be taken over by Republicans leaving his last 2 years of his first term presidency as a lame duck.

A new survey revealed that 47% of Americans now identify as Republican or Republican leaning which was a 9% increase from last year while only 42% identified as Democrat or Democratc leaning, a 7% decrease which indicates a dramatic flip in favour of the Republicans which has trailed behind the Democrat Party over the last decade and has not been ahead of them in identification since 1995.

It spells good news for Republicans who have blocked every important bill by Biden plus with the help of Manchin and Sinema where his build back better and voting rights bill did not go through.

Voters minds are on the worst inflation in 40 years with the costof living rising and do NOT support build back better which they say will make inflation worse.

COVID is also taking a toll with more relaxed restrictions by the administration and CDC where his covid response was once most favoured by americans

Social issues are likely to form a large part of campaigning especially with white voters who reject CRT, trans rights issues and school closures

Gallup has regularly measured the party leaning since 1991 and in most years americans have aligned themselvse as Democrats or Independents but after Trump's election win and loss, americans are now leaning more conservative policies and have rejected progressive laws and blame "woke liberals" for rising crime.

Are you hoping for a Republican Senate and Congress?

I'm pretty sure anything I would say about this would get my account nuked

This wouldn't be alarming if not for the fact that there has been a sharp rise in conspiracy theories and white supremacist rhetoric on the right.

it's definitely alarming: it's proof that the GOP policy of deliberately breaking government as much as possible when they're not in power (and setting it up to break when in power), then lying about all of the above as much as possible...works

Democrats are in for a rude awakening...

..but at the same time, I doubt they care since they're still getting paychecks from their corporate donors regardless.

Fuck it, this country deserves whatever happens after Republicans come into power again

dems in the house are legit trying their best

it's really just two dem senators who refuse to help their party govern, that are torching the entire party's national image to appear to be a bunch of do-nothing losers

which admittedly is good cover if those two do not plan to run for re-election and a bunch of others are in fact do-nothing losers

Duckbear, please put up a database of all the polls you've posted over the years, you've collected a lot of interesting data and it'd be interesting to examine

The one silver lining to Republicans coming to power again is that maybe they'll do so much damage that everybody finally realizes what a dire state our country is in.

except the biggest part of the damage they do now is consolidating power in their own hands

when the state legislature changes voting districts not only to make sure the state only elects republicans to national government but also changes those same districts to make sure it only elects them to state government, what emerges is tyranny of the minority

It's a shame that wanting to be treated fairly is such a huge point of contention.

This country is burning and there's no way to stop it.

Fuck em both. They can all eat a dick

Edit: the politicians, not the voters

Tbh, I feel like they're a convenient scapegoat.

Even if those two weren't a problem, I doubt that the Democrats would be so willing to push through enough progressive reform to bring our country out of the shitshow that we're in.

Both voters and progressive politicians have been pointing out for years that the fact that Republicans are so easily able to consolidate power is indicative of a fundamental flaw in our political system. But this critique has largely fallen on deaf ears within the Democratic Party.

This is a huge fucking lie, who actually believes this bullshit ?!

Thanks. Damn

If it's any consolation, independents are now the largest voting bloc by a pretty large margin

Oh, you're absolutely right.

But the mask we've been wearing for decades is slowly starting to slip, and that's usually when real change starts to occur. That or violent tyranny (which is what I feel is going to happen regardless).

What's funny is people will post stuff like this then ignore the millions of minorities that acknowledge the existence of systematic oppression

Yes the evil libs are silencing the millions and millions of black people that claim racism doesn't exist

After 30 years, people are starting to regain their common sense again. I love it.

Please don't take anything that clown says seriously.

The country cannot crumble fast enough imo

Eh, COVID will clear them out soon

I wouldn't mind this if some Republicans didn't simply refuse to even acknowledge that Trump isn't in office anymore.
