I'm a bit too fond of these cycle theories.
When 2020 looked like 1980, I would have said 2032, but now 2020 seems to be looking a lot more like 1896 than 1980. So...2036?
You think the GOP is going to lose one fewer election in a row than it did after literally being blamed for the Great Depression?
When you take into account the fact that Democrats have won the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 elections, and that Texas is likely to flip during this decade and make the EC map extremely favorable to Democrats, yes.
Maybe if there's a D EV win/PV loss, there will finally be bipartisan support for abolishing the Electoral College. And the Democrats can unilaterally disarm themselves. Again.
The fastest growing demographic in the nation and in Texas is trending Republican. Are Democrats likely to win statewide in Texas once this decade? Sure, I'll make that bet given the sheer number of statewide races taking place within the next 10 years. It is likely to remain a Republican-leaning state for some time, though, and I don't think it'll flip in a presidential election until Democrats get a
significantly better national environment than 2020's (which itself is unlikely until the next GOP administration).
