Okay: The Democratic Party Is Disintegrating Before Our Very Eyes

The Democratic Party just might spend the next 20 years in the wilderness, and it has only itself to blame.

Things have never been this bad for the party of hope and change. They hope they can change, but they’re face-to-face with a three-headed beast that threatens to push them off a cliff: Millions of voters are abandoning the party, approval ratings have hit a 30-year low and fundraising is in the dumper.

Let’s break down those three. Between the 2020 and 2024 elections, Democrats lost ground to Republicans in all 30 states that track voter registration by political party, as reported by The New York Times last week. The exodus represents a staggering 4.5-million-voter swing toward Republicans, and the political chasm could take years, even decades, to bridge.

Democrats lost more than 2 million registered voters during the period, while Republicans gained 2.4 million, according to the paper’s analysis. Last year, for the first time since 2018, more new voters nationwide chose to register as Republicans than Democrats. The voter flight occurred across the political spectrum: in battleground states, deep-blue strongholds and red states alike.
