    I'm from Utah and the Utah Republican party is a bit strange. Utah basically has a one party system where the Republican party reigns supreme. Because of this moderates, democrats, and independents are incentivized to register as Republican and vote in Republican primary elections.
    In my opinion which is totally based on anecdotal evidence, a coalition of moderate Republicans, independents, and democrats tend to pick the most moderate Republican.
    You may be asking how to explain Mike Lee. Well Mike Lee became the Republican Senate nominee when Utah was using a caucus system that discourages political participation except for participation from very conservative Republicans.
    This observation is not based on hard evidence, but rather my own anecdotes.

    When you look at House turnover, have you looked at actual numbers. I recall that incumbency in the House is actually a lot stronger than in the Senate. It seems counterintuitive, but I believe the numbers show that incumbent House members get re-elected at a greater rate than the Senate. I think that number is like 98%. That’s why there was a huge push for terms limits back in 1994. And perhaps my numbers are off since the GOP screwed with redistricting in the 1990s and early 2000s. My theory being that by creating more and more safe Republican districts, the GOP unwittingly wound up giving more power to the radical Tea Party wing of the party, which made it easier for moderate to liberal Republicans to lose in the primaries. But, when it comes to the general election, and when you look at incumbent party, you find that there is far LESS turnover in the House than in the Senate, even if that seems counterintuitive based on the 2 year terms for House members.

In either case the traditional republican (about 20% of the Republican party) will not follow Trump, we saw this in the 2020 election. Too many 2016 Trump voters voted for Biden in 2020, this is a main factor that costed Trump the presidency. And due to the Dem-Rep party split in the US being roughly 45%-45% (the rest of the country is independent 10%) that means that a loss of 20% of their fan-base the Republican party under Trump or the Patriot Party will undoubtedly not win in Congress and Presidency. Also in states like Alaska, Wyoming, and Utah there's way too many traditional republican and not Trumpian republicans, this leaves space for a traditionally conservative 3rd party and that will break the "Conservative wing" of US partisan politics

    I’m just wondering what state legislation is making it harder for minority’s to vote?

    • @stevieinselby
      @stevieinselby 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Requiring photo ID, which minorities are less likely to have.
      Putting up more barriers to registering to vote, which is likely to affect minorities more.
      Reducing the number of polling stations in deprived areas meaning that people living there have to travel further and queue for longer, while making it harder to get a postal vote.
      Some states have been arbitrarily purging the voter rolls of anyone with a _similar_ name to a convicted felon where the name _sounds_ black, despite an abundance of evidence that they were different people.

Right now, Georgia is undertaking the most blatant attempts at voter suppression in a bid to take the state back to the days when black people's votes only counted as ⅗ of a vote. If they can't count their votes as being worth less then they'll find ways to stop ⅖ of them from voting. Legislation *must* be passed at federal level to make this illegal.

    My question would be "who is electing the state officials"?
    If they are elected by the party, rather than the populace (like a primary) then it makes sense that they would be more radical. The Republican voting base is pro-trump while the state voting base is anti-trump.

    My thoughts? USA politics are not only getting more politically polarized but "bipolarized" you are with certain group or against certain group... or become passive and cynical. So it becomes Dems vs Reps in DC, then conservative Dems/Reps vs progresive Dems/Reps, then too-progresive dems/reps vs not-enough-progresive-dems/reps, etc.

    I think the gap between the state parties and the federal party has a lot to do with why the Tea Party came to power around 2012 in the first place. Going back to 1994, Newt Gingrich and Dick Army were tired of the Republicans being a permanent minority party. They began a campaign to capture more state legislatures with the eye towards creating a more permanent power base for the Republicans in the House by engaging in radical redistricting. Now gerrymandering has long history in US politics, but not on the scale that Gingrich and Army implemented. They created numerous “safe” districts for Republicans, often bucking the state’s demographic distribution. This empowered the more radical wing of the party. This also motivated the more radical wing to get more involved at the state and local levels and essentially capture the party apparatus there. This created a feedback loop, which kept giving the radical wing more and more power. But this is also bucking the country’s demographic trend. At the heart of the matter is race. Caucasians will lose majority status by about 2048. This terrifies the uneducated white voters who make up the core of the Republican base. Seeing the possibility that they will lose power permanently in a few decades, they are more motivated to get involved at the state and local levels. And they are more motivated to pursue policies and tactics that are anti-democratic in nature (eg, redistricting, harsher voting standards, relying on the electoral college), but which buffer their power base from the big demographic shift (hence why Republicans oppose immigration). But I don’t think the state and local party apparatus reflect the views of the party in the aggregate. I think the average Republican is not a radical as that, at least for now. One of the unforeseen (or unanticipated) problems is that the radicalization of the Republican Party is causing the level headed Republicans to leave. It started just before Trump. But after Trump was nominated, you saw the beginnings of the more educated and sophisticated Republicans leaving the party - not becoming Democrats, but realizing that there is no place for them in what the Republican Party has become. In the end, this is not sustainable. Within the next 20 years, either the party will split, or you will have a growing number of inactive Republicans who vote Democratic, but still call themselves Republicans out of nostalgia for the Reagan/Bush 41 era.

    Gerrymandering of constituencies/districts/precincts (mainly along racial lines by GOP legislatures but the Dems do it too) has resulted in a huge shift to the right amongst GOP candidates. To get a nomination in a conservative area now, you need to be the conservativiest conservative that ever conservated. Until laws are passed to combat gerrymandering, both sides will continue to be forced to espouse the most extreme views possible within their parties' range of beliefs.

    Also.. it is hard to have much sympathy for the 'traditional' republican party since in the 80s the current crop turned on the 'traditional' republicans and reshaped the party into the religiously minded one it is today. So yeah, we have been here before. 40 years ago there was a divide between 'national' republicans and 'state' republicans, and we got the 'Regan Revolution' which centred on white rural christian identity politics, in no small part driven by declining rural economies and fear of 'busing'. So we are seeing history repeat itself because the group currently in power left a roadmap for how to kick them out and replace them with more radical counterparts. And back then, it was again the media that played a role... isolated rural whites being exposed to minorities on TV for the first time and feeling the existential dread of not being the only Americans.

But when California 's economy on course to some $4 Trillion GDP, legislation in California well directly and indirectly affect economics and politics to neighboring states and countries like Mexico and Pacific Countries that trade with California's large Port cities.
    Its like in the the name we use the UNITED STATES of America, The FEDERAL government of the UNITED STATES.
