Hopefully the electoral college is nuked by then.

2068/2072:

Many of the would be Democratic states were tossups since it's a GOP realignment year.

the electoral college will be gone so it won't matter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So, the Dems are relegated to being the Party of Appalachia (plus a couple other states)?  Quite a change from the "Party of Coastal and Urban Elites" that they are today.

I used TD's timeline (and what he vaguely predicted would be the next Republican realignment in 2068/2072) to make the map. The GOP has its base of support in the Northeast, Midwest, Interior Plains, and PNW. The rest of the Democratic resistance resides in the South and Appalachia where their working class whites + minorities base formed in the 2020's/2030's held out the strongest. Asians and Hispanics have largely assimilated into the white hegemony which is why the Southwest, Florida, and New York are Republican despite being minority heavy areas.

But who knows. The United States might not even be a country by then.

If we survive Trump without him becoming a dictator or blowing up the world....

[SoLongAtlas]

Massive shifts in population due to climate change, warming of the South, Hispanic influence, AA growth in MS/AL/GA. LA/MS/AL/FL hit hard by flooding, proving climate change to be a real factor, more people move north, diluting the Democratic base but due to warming it is still strong, MT sees a large influx. AK hit hard by warming and permafrost thawing, shifting the state Dem.

No.

I'll be 116 for most of 2072, so I may be too old to care and already don't care that this seems to be on the wrong board unless it has something to do with 2020, but then again, like I said,
who cares?

I plan on being around for it but I doubt I will. Also, yeah, this one should go in the Presidential Election Trends sub-forum.

"Who cares?" could be said for almost anything that's posted on this forum. I think it's an interesting conversation, and it's fun to see what people think the future will hold. /my two cents

True, but "who knows" is another way to look at it. We could all be living on Mars by then.

Except they aren't a party of coastal urban elites, LOL.  They never have been, and they never will be.  Without voters who are the furthest thing from "elite" possible, the Democratic Party wouldn't exist, and they know that, even if the realignment-fetishizing nerds of Atlas don't.

Based on the 8 year cycle, we will all be tired of eight years of GOP president "John Doe"
(although by then maybe it will be Jane Doe) and elect a Democrat in 2072 who promises hope,
change, full employment and an end to the nuclear arms race.

As far as maps go, I am not clarvoyent enough to come up with an accurate one,
but it wouldn't surprise me if Texas is a swing state by then and may play a similar role
that Florida played in 2000. Maybe a "Ralph Doe" will come along as the Green party
candidate and "Susan Doe" (the Democrat) will blame him for letting "Jack Doe" the GOP nominee win the state and thereby the election (Jack Doe is John Doe's brother).

What's with the random line breaks?

Because I dislike both parties, GOP for being stuck in the past and Gilded Age nonsense, Dems a little less but still only fixated on identity politics and labelling anyone else that doesn't go along, esp their more rabid supporters.

The same is true for the Republican Party, though.

Agreed.   But 1) I've never denied that, and 2) it's demonstrably ever-so-slightly less true.

I'm just going to go out on a limb and say one of the two major parties will no longer exist.

[izixs]

States in blue only held referendums to be admitted into the world government, the coloration reflecting their voting preference. The states in red either had a referendum that failed or not, but eventually were admitted due to action from the state legislatures, including those that were appointed by the allied powers in Florida, Georgia, and Oklahoma. DC was a special case and was admitted as part of the interim US congressional transition actions along with the various non-state US territories. Peurto Rico was admitted prior to the finalizing of the US admission plan as its independence had been recognized by a sufficient number of nations during the global turmoil to be treated as an independent state and/or faction, even though they had strong ties to the North East Allied Front in the US during the rebellion.

Oh wait this isn't the alternative (future) history forum...

This..

We might have other parties replacing them though.

Obviously what the 2016 election will look like is this

. It might be 60 years off, but the trends are clear. As long as we don't nominate another egghead, we should keep the south and win the west. The Northeast will stay republican, clearly. This is a slight republican victory now, but as people move we will be able to win with this.
