Most are pro-life Christians.
The betrayal by Cheneys, Romney and other assorted rinos puts a bow on the transition.
There are two Repubican Parties. The Bush&Cheney&Pence party needs to be annihilated—not the people, the party—in order for the party of the future, the party of the American ideal, to take its rightful place.
The Democrat party has always been the party of tyranny. It was formed to protect slavery. After Lincoln took away their slaves it transitioned to the Universal slavery of Socialism. This latest round of evil using the state to crush dissent and stealing elections fits the Democrat party like a glove fits a hand.
It would be more correct to say that the “Trump wing” of the Republican party has become the party of the common man. Sadly, much of the GOP “establishment wing” is just as owned by the aforementioned military-industrial complex, Big Pharma, etc. as the Democrats.
Nope, unfortunately.
The real realignment will happen once Trump leaves the political scene. He is such a dynamic force that much of his support seems based on his personal charisma. I don’t think the new GOP requires a strong personality for leadership, as the philosophy of America First is a long term winner over globalism. The problem now is that Trump attracts such vicious opposition that people who might normally support his philosophy are bullied and intimidated. We definitely have a very sheepish society. I guess the result of several decades of educational and social indoctrination.

The Dung Beetle Party is now the party of billionaire singing princesses.
mcconnell needs to be replaced by MAGA
he holds the purse strings
I never remember Republicans being the party of big wigs. Reagan, Nixon, Eisenhower, Truman? FDR and his ilk pretend to be for the people, but they are involved in steadily taking away freedoms.
There was a flip in the 1960s based on race - until 1964 the democrats were the pary of the Klan; Martin Luther King Sr. was a Republican until flipping from Nixon to Kennedy shortly before the 1960 vote.
The Democrats were always the party of the non-working man.
Inversion?
The democrats have never been the party of the little people.
Modulo the Bush wing of the Republicans.
Now you are gonna get some people mad at you for saying "the parties switched!"
But the truth is, 1860 Republicans were wealthy, corrupt, big city, tax and spend, "social change", Liberals.
They were what Modern Democrats are right now, and they even lived in exactly the same cities as Modern Democrats do right now.
They slowly went over to the Democrat party (started with FDR), and what used to be Democrats, thanks to Reagan, became Republicans.
Conservatives have always been the party of the working class. We just have been suckered by the Republican establishment and their crony-capitalist friends. With Trump especially, many of those politicians have been replaced by actual conservatives. Meanwhile the Democrat party has full authoritarian and like all authoritarians need money to make it happen. Big money from rich people who will be paid back through policy decisions at the expense of the taxpayer.
Trump did this because he can’t be bought.
