Why Republicans lose in 2024 [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

The traditional Republican party had three major sponsors: Insurance, weapons of war, and financial manipulators. As Pat Buchannan observed, these donors had primary interest in making money from the federal government.
Today, the GOP apparatchik incorporates climate change deniers, racists and fundamentalist religious groups. The goal, now, is to manipulate society. A minority may readily steal from the majority, as before …but it is much harder to lie your way to societal change.
The Republican party has always been skilled at getting what it wants. Before the Civil War only 20% of northerners were in favor of war. Today, a majority of southerners think the Republican party is on their side.
Times may be a changing for the GOP. It is much harder to distract folks from extreme climate and fires and flood. Every US financial crash has occurred during a Republican administration or under a Republican Fed Chair. However, this time no voter will simply blame themselves for an environmental crash.
People may finally understand that gun violence is rising because of too many guns. People may yet puzzle-out that medical insurance cost are higher in America than in the rest of the world because the game is rigged. People may yet catch on to what’s actually behind the Republican party’s stand on women’s rights.
I’m looking forward to 2024
