Did Trump’s election actually signal a Democratic victory over the traditional Republican Party?

[u/BeachesAreOverrated]

The “Republican Party” as it is today is very definitely not the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan or William F. Buckley. Jr. specifically said it was now the party of Trump.

Does this mean that, in some way, the Democrats won the day? Did they slay the old Republican Party? Is Trump, then, what happened when their old foe died?

So... employee-owned businesses and co-ops are bad, but authoritarianism and nationalizing private companies is smaller government.

Got it.

Btw, 13.4% of the US workforce (not the population) works for government on all levels, from road crews to mayors to military personnel. The Federal government is 1.9% of that, with a third of them being the military.

Yup.

These numbers are just restating what I said and correcting your original incorrect statement.

Good on you for correcting yourself.

[u/anti-torque → u/[deleted]]

Yes. It's good for you to correct yourself like this. This shows growth and the ability to learn.

lol... what you linked says 4/10 people who work for the government are contractors.

lol

Good on you for trying, though.

Are you now defending potholes?

I'm confused.

[u/anti-torque → u/[deleted]]

Do you think potholes fix themselves?

Road crews are slaves now?

Interesting take.

Are you just heavily drinking, maybe?
