From the article:
Suburban districts still make up the majority of congressional battlegrounds, and the GOP’s Trumpified brand remains a threat to limit their gains.
Republican candidates holding extreme views on abortion or echoing Trump’s election lies are still toxic in the suburbs.
IMHO Unless the district/states are solid red, Trump will be toxic and left behind.
Man, they give up on DeSantis already? I thought he was going to be the next big thing. Just don’t push Fled Cruz again. That guy’s a perfect example of someone who shouldn’t hold public office.
the meeting between russian operatives and the trump campaign never happened?
its all a figment of my imagination.
read the report.
thanks

What does that have to do with realignment?
A lot.
It’s all they had on their brains. In fact there was about dozen libs here that had Robert Mueller avatars…they all felt certain that Trump was going to prison.

The fake news told them what to think on the matter and they fell for it hook line and sinker.

Obsession isn’t healthy.
It seems some still can’t give it up.
They can’t. That’s what Jan 6th is all about.
All that they know is they were told to hate Trump…so they do what they’re told.

You are correct and it is sad to think people will allow themselves to be controlled in this manner. I don’t know what they think they will get out of it.
Throughout history those same kind of people have committed unspeakable atrocities.

You call it long before realignment was even though of. Long before pundits even though let alone
talked about it.
Every election year (and probably every off year), “pundits” talk about realignment. What was your specific twist on it that made you prescient years ahead of the curve, beyond what anyone else was saying?
It’s easy to show if you’re correct on that one.
I do remember threads like this one from 2018, with a lot of drama. Everything was always “crashing down.” There was also a lot of “You’ll see!” It was before the Democrats took the house in '18 and Biden won in '20.: Libs world is crashing down around em
This forum goes back about 5 years now. You have my explicit permission to find an exchange between us re: this topic that demonstrates my colossal wrongness re:some actual prediction or specific claim of yours regarding realignment. Use me as an example; it shouldn’t be hard for you to demonstrate with specifics.

Here you’re still claiming no evidence of realignment going on…still in denial Marge?
In fact still attempting to deflect Trump attention with your comment that Trump could have done more. That was the left entire point with Russia collusion hoax…one in which you parroted day after day after day.
Here is another attempt to deny any party realignment.
You still think you have stronghold over the working people? Borders? American security? Civil liberties? Freedom?..the “little” people? Science? education?
You’re losing in every category…every single category you’re losing the culture war, economic war and even global foreign interventionism/philosophy.
So I beg you Marge…don’t change. You’re/libs being in denial is greatest asset we have ATM.

What realignment, separate from the well-known one already long in process and described by countless others over the decades, did you predict? I still don’t know. You won’t tell me. You just keep calling it a “realignment.”
First of all, I 100% stand by the claim that Trump isn’t expanding his base. He won in 2016. He lost in 2020. If he runs in 2024, he probably loses—and also jams up the GOP nicely.
So I wrote:
Explain this realignment to me like I am a second-grader. You’ve been talking about it for years. You said it was happening when Trump won. You now say it’s happening when Trump and the GOP lost the House, Senate, and White House. Your realignment seems immune to external political realities
Asking for an explanation isn’t a denial. In fact, you’re highlighting the question I had, and I am still asking for an explanation with regard to any specific claims. You never would–even this posts you quoted support that point. All you’ve done is moved from You’ll see! to I told you so! without doing anything interesting in between.
For example, I kept asking you to be specific and you always responded with stuff like (from the exchange you cited):
Hows that parties realignment going on?
I might have taken longer on my prediction of democrat breaking up but all the signs are here now.
Sit back and enjoy and just remember who told it’s going to happen.
Here’s part of the problem. You write:
You still think you have stronghold over the working people? Borders? American security? Civil liberties? Freedom?..the “little” people? Science? education?
I’ve never claimed that Democrats have a stronghold over the “working people,” that is: white working people. I wouldn’t have claimed that 20 years ago. They haven’t had it consistently in years, probably beginning with Nixon and the “Silent Majority.”. Here’s one reason why: a gradual process that took decades; the usual, oversimplified turning point for that (as I’ve always seen it) was Reagan in 1980 and 1984. Do you remember the term Reagan Democrat:
Any registered Democratic voter that broke ranks with the party and voted for the Republican Ronald Reagan in the 1980 and 1984 presidential elections. The Reagan Democrats constituted a significant voting bloc in those elections. The name continues to be used as subsequent Republican candidates have attempted, rather unsuccessfully, to retain these voters. The Reagan Democrats have been characterized generally as “blue-collar” and “working class,” and include a strong ethnic and Catholic component. LINK
That was a realignment. To the degree that you made any actual specific claims about realignment (and not just saying “Wait and see!”), at least in your exchanges with me, they were all just extensions of a well-known long-term historical trend.
See Thomas Frank, who wrote What’s the Matter with Kansas? one of the main books about that:
Also:

And then there’s this last thing:
my prediction of democrat breaking up
It didn’t “break up.” It won the House in 2018, the Senate in 2020, and the presidency in 2020. They might lose the House and Senate in 2022, but that’s conventional wisdom well within the bounds of historical precedent, not “realignment.” Predicting the breakup of a better that two years later controls and House, Senate, and White House doesn’t seem like a useful or correct prediction.
So, again, what realignment are you referring to? Because if it’s: Wow, the white working class votes Republican, I am not sure how that’s particularly prescient. We’ve known that for a long time. Or was there some other component to it that I missed, or that we didn’t discuss?

Actually Marge…I hope millions of other libs are in same denial…I really do.
Only thing…And I mean only thing you have going for yourself is that repugs are shooting themselves in the foot.
they’re not out there canvassing Latinos, Asian and Black vote. They still hold disdain for working man and they’re still selling out to China and other foreign powers…like the Europeans.
At the end of the day…it will be them that saves libs sorry asses.
Now go post more left-wing articles since you can’t form your own views and opinions. …oh and continue pushing China policies onto American people…and and perverting American children.

And I might add…you barely won the house and senate with 82/84 million lib voters?
Think long and hard on that one Marge.
