1920 was a much larger GOP victory than 1980


In 1980 the GOP still failed to win the House, did not have a majority of the Governorships, and were still a clear minority at the state legislative level.


In 1920 the Republican Candidate won a landslide just like they did in 1980 but with an even more conservative candidate. In 1920 the Republicans also won a far greater majority in the Senate than in 1980, not only won a majority but won a clear majority in the house, and was clearly the dominant party at the state level.


After 1980 the Republicans still had to deal with the Democrats to get their agenda passed while after 1920 the Republicans not only had the trifecta but had a large enough one which made it that even the more Liberal Republicans couldnt stop their agenda.
