“new electoral theory just dropped: the 40 year reverse theory…. 1944 (D) -> 1984 (R), 1948 (D) -> 1988 (R), 1952 (R) -> 1992 (D), 1956 (R) -> 1996 (D), 1960 (R) -> 2000 (D), 1964 (D) -> 2004 (R), 1968 (R) -> 2008 (D), 1972 (R) -> 2012 (D), 1976 (D) -> 2016 (R), 1980 (R) -> 2020 (D)”

“btw yes, this does mean Biden will be winning Kansas in 2024, and Kamala will become president after that, where she will then proceed to lose re-election in an EC landslide to some random moderate Republican in 2032”

As noted by someone, this gets 1960 and 2008 backward in terms of party. Also, it’s missing “1940 (D) -> 1980 (R)”, although it likely wouldn’t work for 1936 (D) -> 1976 (D).

but still. This is very interesting to think about. This could mean that Dems have eight more years in the White House.

But a bigger question: does that mean that Democrats are headed to winning full control of Congress in a 2034 Democratic Revolution? And does that mean that Democrats will win back the majority of state legislative seats by the 2040s?
