Okay, for clarity, I used the term "last gasp" as a metaphor, the way it's used 99.9% of the time.Semantics. I think there is a peak to this, and that we're seeing it. That's all.1. And then electoral victories become less frequent.1. And then what happens?
2. And both are important and valid. Why are you pretending otherwise?
3. "HIs behaviors"? You act like before Trump we were operating by formal debate rules.
2. They are both important and valid. They are symbiotic. I'm not pretending anything.
3. Whatever you want to call it, you're welcome to support it.

Less frequent? That doesn't sound so bad. Is that really what you believe will happen?
Hardly justifies talk like"LAST gasp".
If the wins are one fourth of the time, instead of half, that is hardly "LAST" anything.

I don't see how this is just "semantics".
I see and hear plenty of liberals talking similarly about US whites, or republicans or white men, or old white men, "dying off" or some such manifestation of being "gone".
That is some serious shit.
When you said, "Last gasp", those words had meaning.
Do you expect that once Minority America plus liberals reach a plurality, that Republicans, who represent the majority of white people in this country, will never again win national office, nor control the Congress and Supreme Court?
My guess is that the GOP's power has peaked, assuming it continues on its present course. That would not mean that it would "never again win political office", it just means it would see fewer electoral victories.

If you say so.
Though, you might want to consider, especially as the metaphoric meaning of "last gasp" is normally referring to some type of death or extinction, that discussing the "last gasp" of a group in the same post as attacking them for being angry,
is kind of provocative.
If that was NOT your intent.
