It's That Time Again -- The Media is Writing the Obit of the GOP

 I was struck this morming by an article in Salon proclaiming that the future of the Republican Party is bleak; according to the article, the GOP is now destined for oblivion.

Yawn

Whenever the Dems win an election, that is followed by a stream of articles proclaiming the Republican Party dead or, at least, dying quickly.

In 1965, after Barry Goldwater was crushed by Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 election, the media geniuses told us that the GOP was dead.  Two years later in 1966, the GOP swept congressional seats in a smashing victory.  By 1968, the "dying" GOP took the White House with Richard Nixon.

After Watergate, we were again told that the GOP was dead.  Jimmy Carter, indeed, did squeak past Gerald Ford to take the White House, but things go so bad for the Dems that the GOP then won the next three presidential elections -- easily.

By 1992, Bill Clinton won election to the presidency even though he got only about 42% of the vote.  We were told by the media that the GOP was either dead or dying.  During Clinton's time in the White House, the GOP regained control of Congress for the first time in 44 years.  Since then, the Republicans have held the House for 20 of the next 28 years.  They also won 4 of 7 presidential elections.

By the early 2000's, the media told us that the changing nature of American demographics would guarantee perpetual Democrat victory.  Obama did win, but while he was in the White House, the GOP took control of the House, the Senate, the governorships, the state legislatures, etc.  Somehow, that inevitable ethnic stranglehold of the Dems didn't work.  Even in 2020, Trump carried Hispanics in Florida and did better among minority groups that he did in 2016.  Sure Biden "won" in an election tarnished by fraud and bogus votes.  Nothing indicated, however, that GOP support had waned in any way.

It doesn't matter.  No matter the actual facts, the mainstream media morons are going to spend the next year telling us that the GOP is dead.  

It isn't.

They won't stop, however, because they don't care.  They never have.  For them, a good propaganda story is better than something based upon the truth.
