There's a reason why conservatives are making (and have historically made) every attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the electoral system; it's the only way for them to cling like a tick onto political relevancy. This latest "Red Trickle" is just another example of the ever-growing unpopularity of the republican party. Turns out that a dogmatic adherence to traditionalism, anti-intellectualism, chauvinism, and xenophobia isn't a super popular foundation to build your political platform on. Who would have thought?
You can buy yourself a few years with edgy memes laden with neo-Nazi dogwhistles and 16,000 years worth of "Ben Shapiro Owns SJWs" compilations, but conservatism is fundamentally not a popular ideology with younger demographics and it never will be. I firmly believe that if it wasn't for gerrymandering and voter suppression, the electoral college, and capitalism's vested interest in making sure the working class fights against itself instead of consolidating, conservatives would have largely faded from political relevance decades, if not a century, ago.
