Democrats

After the big loss to Reagan in 1980 the democrats got together to try and recover. A large group called themselves the new democrats. Their plan was to win back the White working people who had slowly drifted away in the 60's and 70's. People saw the democrats as being more interested in special interest groups like the disadvantaged racial and economic people instead of the working folks. They began to move to the center with policies like free trade, deregulation, lower taxes and cuts to the welfare state. It took 12 years to recover but Clinton came along with his policy of triangulation which in simple terms means not being ideological but pragmatic. The Dems are now facing the same situation but this time they are facing Trump who is already the triangulation president. They will maintain many of Trumps policies but they will have to redefine their positions on things like two sexes, transmen in women's sports and gender surgery on children and so on. It may take 12 years again but they will adjust to the will of the voters and make the necessary changes. It takes time for people to adjust to these cultural changes and in 12 years all of these things may be more acceptable. There will be no DEI or CRT but they will develop policies that attack the income and wealth gap with higher taxes on the rich. They will move away from identity politics and tackle the gap in test scores. It will then be their turn again.
