7. pendulum swings

The country is getting more diverse, and as the proportion of white voters shrinks, so, too, does the conservative base. As demographics shift, so do political preferences — in this case, toward the left.

.. part of reason is just the political pendulum swinging as politicians of both sides hit the peter principle's rule of reaching their level of incompetence while serving, but if it hadn't been for republican gerrymandering districts the house could possibly be democrat. It's their rightwing acts of desperation, along with photo ID laws (election violations better handled after the fact, since relatively so few in number).
