The truth of the matter is that the GOP has been branded as the racist and stupid party by the powers that be who control the major institutions.
The majority of GOP voters are not racist but this shitty label persists since there are some actual racists who are affiliated with the party. Steve King, Laura Loomer and Lauren Witzke are prime examples of real racists affiliated with the GOP.
The stupid label sadly sticks because the Dems just have many more college educated voters and they get to present themselves as the party of the educated.
These two stigmas of racist and stupid absolutely stifle the electoral ceiling for the GOP.
A bigger issue I think is that Republicans occasionally still have some lingering and outdated agendas that they still try to sneak in every now and then. This of course can scare off independent voters in droves.
The Republican party really needs to clearly redefine what the party stands for and put far less priority on appealing to long-aged platforms that only appeal to the absolute oldest parts of the population left in the country.
IE, Senator Lindsey Graham really needs to get the boot. He's been a consistent and absolute embarrassment for far too many years.
That’s what I’ve seen. Can’t tell you how many people agree with conservative principles and still vote democrat with some twisted logic justifying it
