That tweet just sounds like cope trying to say the Democrats policies even from 30 years ago is why Republicans won not that the current Democrat policies is WHY they lost so bad.
To be honest, if Republicans want to keep winning after Trump leaves in 2028, what they need is a slight reformation. First sign of good will is not blocking all the cuts that DOGE makes. Second is embrace and showcase Christian values but NOT go evangelical about it as that's what lost you cultural control from the 90s onwards.
If just at the baseline Trump gets his appointments and makes at least 70% of the changes he's promised, Republicans are in a good spot to win 2028 so long as they don't pick a neocon puppet as the presidential nominee.
I'd say that was one factor but a bigger factor was the narrative control the media had in demonising Christianity.
Throughout the 90s and especially the 2000s, I bet we all remember how often we'd hear shit like 'Christian backlash over pokemon, Harry Potter, Mass Effect etc' while with the extreme end they'd only showcase WHITE Christians doing shit like protesting soldiers funerals or those televised scam artist ones, giving them a larger platform.
It was a slow knife designed to invade the public consciousness so that slowly people would no longer align themselves with Christianity in the West. And that's an issue when Christianity is the foundations for the majority of moral values in Western society.
The Christian school I attended forbade Harry Potter due to it glorifying witchcraft, and I had friends whose parents forbade them from watching Simpsons, Family Guy, etc... due to its vulgarity.
Whether this was a majority view or not I can't say, but the Church wasn't exactly making it hard to sell that narrative. They had a similar problem with humorless scolds as the left has today. And what they offered as an alternative to mainstream culture (eg. the Left Behind series which was a big thing around that time) was often heavy-handed and just not very good.
80s/90s kid. I 'member when Bart saying "sucks" was shocking.
My best friend had to play D&D in secret because his mother and grandmother thought it was Satanic.
My sister's Christian school banned Harry Potter for witchcraft.
Before 2019-20, I had never seen pronouns listed in email signature lines. Before 2015 gay marriage was only allowed in certain places, and only for a few years. Until 2011, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was official policy in the military. In both my southern and midwestern families' hometowns, most stores and restaurants were closed on Sundays and all had reduced hours.
This has to be amongst the fastest societal change in history.

What lost cultural control is the 80s amnesty. Which itself was a backflow from the immigration "reform" of the sixties.

After doing it to the Christians (even funding Christian terrorist groups in Lebanon), they now do it with the Muslims.
What? I've never heard of Christian terrorist groups in Lebanon.
I dont think so, alot of these accounts are Elon fanboys.
