Or unless the American people refuse to be conned anymore. But keep in mind, a lot of the support for the Republican Party is motivated by racism and not being conned. It's obvious, when you remember that a majority of white voters have voted Republican since the 1968 election. What happened between 1964 and 1968? Right.

Good points although Reaganism and Reaganomics were really conning the public. The notion that trickled down economics ever truly gave anyone prosperity besides the wealthy and super wealthy is the real con.

For the racism part, yes, that’s unfortunately a big albatross on the GOP and it’s ability to expand its base.

It may be an albatross on their necks now, but it's what made them win often for decades.
