It's been a joke since Nixon.
But the rest of the world finally industrialized, and now it's obvious their economic policies are complete failures, especially when the most functional and sustainable national economies in the world are all "liberal."

A few? And the cut off there is 35 years not 20
When people look at an electoral map they see where their base is strong, then they pour money into it. People are not changing their believes wildly all over the country. People have all sorts of feelings about local politicians that have nothing to do with their own political views.

Can you elaborate on what you find attractive about the Republican party?

They think that they will one day be wealthy, or have some pittance that they want to protect because they have spent their whole life hoarding it away.
Sums it up right there

The problem with this is that the only real option left if the Democratic party, which I view as better, but not quite the answer. They are free to overspend on more and more programs as Republicans lose support since they can justify it by saying that the people wanted them in power. I'm very concerned for the future of US politics.
it seemed everyone ignored this post in favor of trying to belittle one another.

I know some like that. But do you doubt for an instant that you couldn't find Democrats that would say the same about their party?
Because I know quite a few that find the politically correct, steal from the rich, discriminating Democrats to be a problem for them.

true, but in the case of the two party system, there is sometimes no reason to a fault, to deny that both parties have made mistakes, and people in the position to notice these mistakes are usually well informed and who are against certain platforms with which divide consensus among peers in office.

You mean the stories handed down through generations, of manly Canadians riding moose while buck naked and wearing a furry mask are just that... stories?
I am crushed.
