Republican progression after Reagan:
Early 90s: We will win voters with conservative values like moral absolutism, fiscal rigidity, unrestricted guns, trickle down economics, and American exceptionalism.
Late 90s: Progressive voters are growing faster in numbers so let's impeach Bill Clinton for lying about BJs.
Eearly 2000s: We got killed in the midterms and almost lost the election to Gore, more wars and fear mongering to motivate the base.
Late 2000s: We have a black POTUS, let's block everything he tries, threaten shutdowns, and promote white victimhood.
Early 2010s: Our base doesn't want conservative heroes like McCain or pragmatic businessmen like Romney. They were promised liberal blood and we've run out of distractions, help!
Late 2010s: Welcome to our party Trump. As long as you can deliver us victory and tax cuts for the rich, you can keep leading us.
Early 2020s: Yes you lost Trump, but only you can trigger this amount of hate and fear in the base and maybe sneak in another win. The party is all yours and you can do whatever you want with it. We don't care about any principles or the rule of law. And actually, we will even help you rid your party of any left over RINOs and we will give you all the cover for your lies and crimes.
----- we are here -----
Late 2020s: We must deliver on our promises to own libs, migrants and women at all costs. We will openly promote violence on the right as the only solution to our continuous losing. Trump above all. He is our martyr and we will get revenge. Protect red states at all costs. Ban migrants, abortions, books, quality education, labor rights for minors, and rig all local elections for loyalists. Any Rs who complain are our enemies and we must exterminate them.
