So if the Democrats lose power, that will actually help their leadership retain their hold on power.
But if the Republicans lose power, it will actually help the party heal, presumably because it cause a change in GOP party leadership?
Tell me, what font of political wisdom and experience are you drawing upon to arrive at these conclusions?
Because as someone who's actually lived and worked in and around party politics for most of my life, I got to tell you, what you're saying doesn't align with what I've seen.
I don’t really believe either party is likely to change their tactics regardless of the outcome. Frankly, if Trump wins the election, regardless of the margin, then I’m 2028 I’d expect to see Biden running again (assuming our political system is in a state where that’s possible in 2028).
What I hope for is the total collapse of one of the political parties such that a 3rd party can compete. I think that the republicans are far closer to that level of collapse than the democrats.
However, more so, I am afraid of the effects of another Trump term continuing the path he started in his first term and/or following the project 2025 plan. Trump’s first term had a lasting effect on the ability of this country to make positive change, and I fear that a second term will only make it worse.
In summary, I believe the change you and I want won’t happen quickly under Biden, but won’t happen ever under Trump.
