Is the Republican Party in decline?

[ElectionsGuy]

Gotta hand it to Alben Barkley. After being wrong for years about his electoral predictions, saying constantly Donald Trump was going to get Hoovered, or Cartered, and the 2020 elections were going to be practically an extinction event for the Republican Party, he still has the confidence to make a thread only bringing up the tired talking points that have been used since 2008 as to why the Republican party will die and never be successful in any elections ever again. You'd perhaps think, "wow, they did a lot better than I thought, maybe they're not in as bad of shape as I thought". Perhaps it's not surprising, people who bullied others for having different opinions and different predictions don't really have the capacity to do some introspection, and therefore will continue to be wrong.

A lot of those points have already been contested in this thread, but here, I'll try and do one that selectively makes Republicans feel good about the "decline" of the Democratic Party and see how well they hold up against scrutiny.

- Will hold 50 or less Senate seats since 2015
- Will hold a house majority for only 4 years out of 12 (2011-2023)
- Base keeps "losing voters". Despite all the demographics they do well with growing in size, they still somehow manage to not grow their vote share over the past 4 presidential elections.
- Electoral college, Senate, and House slips away from them due to Republican trending Midwest states, Dems doing worse in small states, and Dems packing themselves tightly into metropolitan areas.
- Has plummeted with white, non-college voters, the largest share of the electorate.
- In the last 12 years, can only win with Obama on the ballot or when Trump is an incumbent.

It was really quite difficult to come up with these, really had to do some hard research that supports my very militantly partisan political opinions.
