1976/shortened 1920.
In both cases, the minority party is very close to becoming the majority party. The last gasp of the majority party is heard in 1976 (Carter) and 1920 (Harding).
Trump is the regionalizing of the GOP, the transformation of the GOP from a broad national party to a regional sectional party. There is a reason he did not win the popular vote and he crucially won because of winning very similar states in the Midwest.
The Trump coalition is very uniform, homogeneous, and economically similar. The Democratic coalition is looking a lot more diverse, bigger, and more national.
