6. Your timeline is a little off. It has been since 1964, not 2000.

I don't know why. I can't imagine anything significant that happened that year. But our default setting has been Republican ever since.

Yes, we got Jimmy Carter in 1976. But only because Nixon humiliated his party and the country on a massive scale.

But after that, we went Republican again. For 12 years.

Then, we got Bill Clinton. But it's very possible that the only reason we got him was because some billionaire (Ross Perot) got pissed off at President Bush over some personal grudge, and spent millions of his own dollars in order to play the spoiler. That's debatable, some say Clinton might have won without the Perot factor. I don't know.

But we went Republican again after that. And we only got Obama because of epic mismanagement by the Bush Administration, culminating in two failing wars, a drowned American city, and the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression.

It's no surprise that the country went Republican again. It's our default setting.
