Comment He didn't take over the Republican party (Score 1) 63
This was always the plan. As the baby boomers die off and the older gen xers that about the same benefits from the New deal and Great society go with them the Republican party was doomed.
Birth rates cratered in 2000 so the demographic shift didn't happen but time keeps marching on and thanks to automation devouring the middle class the only ones with any money are the New deal and Great society kids. Basically anyone over 50.
You can't have a population of 320 million dirt poor people that's a democracy and not have some reform.
Back in 65 when Goldwater lost the Republican party decided that couldn't be allowed to happen and fascism was the order of the day backed by racism in the wake of desegregation. Trump is The logical outcome of that process that began in 65.
This is because we never took care of our original sin. Because we compromised on reconstruction during the post civil war era. The daughters of the Confederacy and what not are to blame for the end of human civilization.
