Could Long-Term Republican Dominance Be A Good Thing?
Question as in the title. The legislature has been deadlocked for half of my life. Power just bounces between Republicans and Democrats, with neither side having a veto proof majority for very long. Nothing ever seems to get done, and if by some miracle progress is made, the other party comes in and un-does it right after. Dirty tricks pile upon dirty tricks. So: what if Republicans just outright "win?" By some combination of voter suppression, gerrymandering, and popular support they established a medium-to-long term dominance over all branches of government. What would that look like? Would we see political attention shift to the Republican primaries instead? Would we actually get legislation passed, and could the factions of the newly ascendant Republican party come together to get anything done?
