This reads mostly as your personal preference rather than a statement that appears rooted in facts. But fine, if you want to make the claim that they are the same, then provide me with statistics showing that Democratic congress were doing as poorly in 2009 as the Republican congress is doing in 2017.
For the most part, I don't actually care, but you seem to be happy repeating what sounds awfully similar to the delusional talking points of AM radio hosts from 2009-2012. And in any case, you're ignoring the ultimate point that I was even making, which is that unless Republicans deal with their approvals in the current age and group demographics (specifically, among women, minorities, and youth), they will cease to be a viable party over the next decade or two. They're critical strategy is appealing to (largely white, male) Boomers, and in 2020, Boomers will no longer be the largest voting block. By 2030, they'll be dwarfed by Gen X'ers, Millennials, and Gen Z (and you'll start seeing generation alpha voting). That's a long time to change their message, but the crucial, ingrained pieces of the modern Republican party --cutting taxes, de-regulation and anti-social safety nets, anti-immigration, dog-whistling racism/homophobia/transphobia/misogyny, etc-- will not be viable strategies. Republicans can only thank Democrats for shoe-horning HIllary in as Trump's opponent.
