It's the results of many years of an organized crime syndicate working to this end while Republicans sat back and let it happen. Perhaps because they were unaware, but also mainly because they were either threatened, bribed, or last but not least, murdered because they refused to go along. One thing you can say about the Democrats, from the day they hatched their plan to takeover the world and make the people their servants, they have have organized and NEVER stopped working to make it happen. The slimy snakes have done it steadily and consistently. There was nothing about it that just coincidentally happened because they were such a great party. Hell no, they bought people and made them think they couldn't survive without their handouts. Oh, they've worked long and hard. Unfortunately for us Conservatives, they've managed to gain control of most everything. Conservatives almost waited too long to step up to the task of stopping them. So you are right, it HAS all been done by design.
