This election may have undermined the Republican Party's own legitimacy:

I think opposite, it made them much stronger. They barely lost the election with Trump, and gained in the House, imagine what they can do without Trump in the way.

^^^ My thoughts are along these lines. The Republicans now have a chance to regroup and consider which wing of their party should be at the forefront. They embraced Trump while he was POTUS, to their detriment in some cases IMO. But if his brand of Republicanism loses the second term, they will have to recalibrate. Hopefully bake to something more fiscally conservative and socially moderate.

This election broke the democrat party. Pelosi is toast, and members are at war about socialism trending. Republicans were made stronger, plus they attracted more minority voters than any election in their history.

At least in my case, the behavior of the left for the last four years has made me determined to vote against the Democratic party for the rest of my life. I challenge each and every Democratic voter to think of the fact that I will personally cancel out your vote as long as I live. With good health, that could easily be 40 or 50 more years. I spent a good long time filling out careful ballots, researching candidates and deciding on who should best represent me. After a circus impeachment, dragging a Supreme Court justice through the mud with no evidence, politicizing a pandemic, encouraging and inciting race riots on a false narrative, endorsing identity politics, and falsely condemning the nation's founding and history as evil and racist, I am done with what used to be the Democratic Party.

Broke the GOP? As of right now Trump, even losing has more votes than Barrack Obama ever got in an election and 5 million more than Hillary got 4 years ago.

Trump broke the GOP. Without Trump, the GOP will be unified again under the RINOs.

I’m an independent who voted Obama and was disappointed enough back then. But after the last four years I agree with everything you said and will never vote for another democrat. Ever. They’re actually evil politicians and I was astounded at their subhuman behavior with kavanaugh especially.

Just more incentive to return to the republican form of government, where all men have endowed rights, and none are at the mercy of a democratic majority.
