The way to bring Republicans to heel is for them to keep losing until they give up and try something else.
Between 1860 and 1912 exactly one Democrat - Grover Cleveland - managed to be elected president; Woodrow Wilson ended that streak in 1912 in no small part by breaking with his party to embrace progressive reforms (though the intra-party GOP split between TR and Taft also helped), and while Wilson was one of the worst racists to ever inhabit the White House, that embrace of progressivism nevertheless set the stage for the era of Democratic dominance under/after FDR.
What dominance. I have seen 8 years of reagan, 4 of bush sr, 8 clinton, 8 bush jr., 9 obama, 4 trump, and getting to 4 biden. The majority for me has been unfortunately republican.
