Control

Since WW 2 the democrats have concentrated their efforts on organizing public unions, influencing formal education including universities and the national press and they have done so effectively. This was often in the news and today the words “liberal press” are accepted by most and stats show that universities are overloaded with liberal professors. Meanwhile the republicans have been busy behind the scenes organizing local elections of counties and states and governors and they too have been successful. Suddenly everyone is aware that republicans now control 32 state legislators and 31 governorships. This allows them to control redistricting which will come again in 2020. In addition the democrats are now the minority in the federal government both house and senate. People forget that the democrats controlled the house of representative for 40 years from 1954 until 1994 but all that has changed with the republicans maintaining control 20 of the last 24 years. While the democrats have been concentrating on groups the republicans have centered their attention around individuals selecting candidates who are electable.
