The US was essentially a one party country from 1933-1953.Like AlM and Spider-Pig said, it wasn't because the Dems were forcefully oppressing the opposition. It was because the electorate found the GOP of the time to be very unappealing. The voters even gave the GOP a congressional majority in 1946 before running them out two years later. There was also a long period of almost uninterrupted Republican rule from 1860 to about 1912. The Democrats would sometimes briefly win Congress or the WH, only to be run out in a matter of a of a few years. |
