Because they have the support of the majority of the human beings who live in the country? The only hope conservatives have of maintaining power is through gerrymandering, voter suppression and promulgation of their alternative fact bubble. But go ahead, tell me how Trump's victory last November presages an inevitable Republican dominance of American government for decades to come. Political cycles run both ways and will swing the other direction soon enough. Trump has no hope of accomplishing even a fraction of the nonsense he promised. Manufacturing jobs are not coming back to the rust belt, coal mining will not be a viable occupation in 20 years time and deporting immigrants will not magically solve the employment woes of Joe Six Pack. I know you guys are still flush with victory and your favorite mantra is "Trump won, get over it" but you should perhaps consider whether your own self confidence and hyperbole is justified or sustainable.
