re: #236 Dark_Falcon

Crippling liberal Republicans was part of the plan to align the party behind conservatism. That worked decently as long as the people in charge of defining conservatism were sane, but too many of them have gone nuts since Obama was first elected.

It never worked, it may have postponed the inevitable but it’s also led the party into a demographic box canyon. Crippling liberal Republicans is why your party has zero outreach now with gay Americans. It’s why 70% of latinos voted against the GOP in 2016. It’s why in presidential elections the GOP hasn’t been able to crack 15% of the black vote for the last fifty years.
