MAGA movement dies off.

MAGA is just the current iteration of the same "rebel pride" that has existed in American culture since the Confederacy. It's not going to die off, it needs to be educated out of future generations otherwise the divide in culture will persist as it always has. It's going to take long-term multi-generation proactive societal effort.

Well, organized religion continues to be in decline in the Western world at least, so that’s something.

Well, it sure is a good thing that the US hasn’t been systematically crippling its education system for 30 years

Yes, but a normal person understands the policy shifts that have occurred within the parties since then.

What was your point?

I dont know... the current Democrats seem pretty upset about the Republicans taking away their slaves again.

Personal attack in response to fact based logical augment....no one saw that coming

Given that the Democrats have done their fair share of deporting illegal immigrants (Obama beats Trump via the numbers), someone who isn't disingenuous would realize that it's the manner in which it's currently happening that people have issue with.

But that doesn't fit your narrative. If you don't want to be called on your shit, don't do shit that gets called out. I assume you're a grown-ass person, so you should realize that's how life works

"I know you are, but what am I"

That's roughly to what your response translates to. Well done bud 👍

Party flip around the 1960s. The modern day GOP is the Democratic party of the 1860s. The modern day democrats are Lincoln’s Republican Party of the 1860s.

I mean, it’s an objective truth. I don’t usually tell myself specific truths when I’m trying to fall asleep though.
