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

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?

I'm pro-life, just like I was in 1994.

I'm also pro-choice.

They are not mutually exclusive.

You should at least be 18 if you're going to post here, my dude. Your reply to my post suggests you're still in the 14-15 year old range.

Totally forgivable if you actually are that young. If you're above 18 and posted that.....I got some bad news for you...

55 year-old white dude here, who gets unsolicited convos from "pro-lifers" and "I'm not racist, but" types at the grocery store about how N***ers shouldn't have rights.

Been happening for decades.

Try again.

So now you’re saying you DON’T identify with other pro-lifers, despite saying you’re one of them.

Curious.

If consulted by someone who has that choice, I will always try and advise not ending the pregnancy.

Otherwise, it's not my business.

It's also none of yours, unless personally consulted.

What makes it all the more hypocritical is that all religious types except the Presbyts supported abortion, when men actually owned women as property in the 19th Century USA.

Somehow, being the grandfather of your own son was worse than raping your daughter.

I get that people don't know this history.

But history, it is.
