They obviously love high taxes and lockdowns
But yeah, you're probably right.
Higher taxes and more lockdowns.... and more illegals and more homeless and higher electricity rates and more fires and more crime.! And they are our cutting edge!

Think about it. Both the presidency and the Senate are set up to be anti majoritarian. Does Merica want to be perpetually governed by a permanent minority party?
I don't get that.
You make a valid point about the Senate and the EC elected president.
The Senate was set up to be anti-national government...a protector of the States, and a protector of Federalism, which is anti-national-majoritarian. The populists chipped away at that with the 17th Amendment. The filibuster is eliminated now, so the Senate is more majoritarian than it ever was.
Now, in blue states, you have Democrats who are willing to sacrifice the votes of their own citizens to get a national majority (and effectively do away with the Electoral College without a constitutional amendment).
We are moving toward perpetual urban rule. And, that is the question: Do we want perpetual urban, hand-out oriented rule. When that becomes obvious, the Union will go the way of the USSR, and break up into multiple countries, and that will be sad. Unfortunately, I think the Democrats will push and push until that happens.
I also don’t see a permanent minority party being able to govern long term. That’s the R’s problem and why I mention it. Demographics are decidedly against them. When Texas, GA, NC and AZ flip against them in the next ten years, game over. That’s why the EC and Senate controversies won’t be determinative. The D’s have their own internal issues with moving to far left but there is at least some coalition left there.
A functioning democracy needs viable center left and center right parties to work. I would not be surprised if the R’s go the way of the Whigs in the 1850’s with a new right party coming into play soon. The Whigs in large part were destroyed by know knothingism and slavery expansion. The race and xenophobia issues are also going to undo this party. The current R party has little reason for continued prominence.
