The GOP has won the popular vote just twice in the last 32 years, and 2020 was no exception.
After Mitt Romney's defeat In 2012 the RNC told Republicans they must become more inclusive, and moderate, or they would continue to lose ground to Democrat's. Rather than heeding the advise of the RNC, Republicans have become more intolerant, violent, rigid, and otherwise hostile to anyone who does not march in lockstep with their agenda, instead relying on district gerrymandering, voter suppression tactics, and conspiracy theory's to win. This has left many moderate republicans, and swing voters feeling they cannot support the GOP anymore, giving rise to the Lincoln project, and letting many of their former supporters drifting over to the left wing.
Like a man stuck in quicksand, the GOP is slowly sinking.
Those are the facts, Jack...just the facts.
Republicans reeling from their second presidential loss in a row engaged in some soul-searching on Wednesday but were at odds on how far the party must change to remake its image.
