About a decade ago or more, you could project the demographics.
The projection was bad news for the racist Republicans.
Many, many of their activities in messing with voting rights, money in politics, gerrymandering, lying, stacking SCOTUS, etc, etc including their recent effort to take over the electoral college process in various states - all points to them trying to cling to power and create an us vs them partisan divide to try to help hold their grip on power.
The media companies and large companies who want to hang on to their tax breaks are funding this effort.

I do not think Biden has done that bad of a job but his approval ratings seem worse than Trump's or flirting with it. That's crazy. Democracy's great arbiter: the media, have big corporate $'s thumb on the scale.
