    BOTH parties have lost about 4% of their voting members since 2000. Neither party represents the majority of Americans these days.

    But it is good to metaphorically slap the **** out of them from time to time.

    The left in this country shares the same economic policies of the National Socialist. Fact.

    As to the KKK:

    They have largely lost their base, for the same reason teh DNC has....most people are ID as independent. With that said, still the majority of Americans ID themselves as Conservative, over liberal.

    Here's an example why the GOP is shrinking. Right now Joe Biden is on 'The View' where 3 notable Republican women [Ana Navarro/ Meghan McCain/ Abby Huntsman] are adoring Biden because he is honorable and views fellow Americans [Republicans] as countrymen/ women. Navarro/ McCain/ Huntsman denounce Trump every day on TV and claim that the fool isn't even a Republican.

    Independents are growing but are far from the majority. Independent voters do outnumber Republicans in California and primarily support Democrats.

    The imbecile racism argument from Trumped Republicans completely collapses since racial minorities vote heavily Democratic. Trump says Blacks are stupid to be Democrats. :laughing:

    I've heard that there are those who even support Trump. I even met one once. Not very bright, the poor fellow, BTW. But I guess that was just a coincidence.

    There is no such thing as "race"

    Then why are you flooding the forum with racist porn?

    Those are the symbols of the right wing in America. Fact.

    Why? They are Conservative symbols not Liberal Symbols.

    They aren't Conservative symbols in America. Conservative values in America means values consistent with the Constitution and our Founding. Watch the video it explains why they are related to the DNC

    No. You'd know it by looking at Republican rubes in the congress.

    Why is the GOP base shrinking?

    I assume for the same reason the democrat base is shrinking. People are finally figuring out that they gain nothing from political parties. Political parties are for politicians, not for voters.

    It's a collaboration/strategy to vote for certain parties. I am registered Green and cannot vote in Democratic primaries. But I never vote for socialists except in local elections [city council/ school board].

    The GOP is predominantly old, white, and male...and they're dying off.

    True, but it does not mean that Democrats have a lock on demographics with voters. Younger black men aren't fond of either party.

    Younger voters [all racial/ ethnic] lean Democratic and will provide link if you want.

    More and more Americans are waking up to the realities that a duopoly is a waster of time. A choice between a kick in the stomach and a kick in the groin is really not much of a choice at all.

    Because racism and racists do exist. But not race. Not pertaining human beings. Other than the Human Race, that is.

    Yes. They are the symbols of the past which the Democrats abandoned, and the Republicans took over
