Joe Biden may have defeated Donald Trump in 2020 by several million votes, but things are only going to get worse for the Republican Party. By 2024, their base will have gotten smaller as more voters over 65 die out and the 18-24 voting block increases it’s numbers. The fatal wound for the GOP is it’s platform, which embraces the 1950’s, when women and minorities knew their place, the Guilded Age, when the many were subservient to the few, and even the Middle Ages, when the only classes in existence were the Royals and the Serfs.

As the table shows, the only voting block which the Republican Party dominates is that over 65 group, which FOX News and other right wing media outlets have been spoon feeding their propaganda to for more than a generation. And the support from that block continues a slow drip over time to the Democrats, as former Republicans, such as myself, leave the party.

When death occurs, there are the inevitable death throes. So when you see Donald Trump screaming about a stolen election that wasn’t stolen, Marjorie Taylor Greene screaming about 6 billion illegal immigrants and Jewish space lasers, or Tucker Carlson parroting Russian talking points to the detriment of the well being of the United States, do not fret. This is just nature, specifically human nature, doing what nature has always done. With death comes the throes of death.

Do not worry about the future. Vote, and look forward to what is coming. It is going to be good.
