What's the latest possible POD for a US Political Party flip (ie. In 2016, the Democratic Party is largely more conservative and the Republican Party largely more liberal.)
I'd assume that it's somewhere in the 1970's but I'd like to here what you guys think.
I like this. But I might say 1929 if Hoover hit upon priming the pump and public works projects.1944, maybe. Honestly, once the New Deal became the GOP's Moby Dick, I feel like they were doomed to welcome in John Birchers and whoever else thought social insurance was communism.
One might see a Democratic party that was socially conservative, but it wouldn't be truly conservative. Vide the career of Wiliam Jennings Bryan.
