Maybe your (irrational) bias is blinding your (rational) logic.
For example:
53rd (1893-1895) D218 R124 (Populists (11), Independent Democrats (2), Silver (1))
54th (1895-1897) D93 R254 (Populists (9), Silver (1))
or
67th (1921-1923) D131 R302 (Independent Republican (1), Socialist (1))
68th (1923-1925) D207 R225 (Farmer-Labor (2), Socialist (1))
Yes, of course.
The Election of '94 is the Gold Standard of Party flips in the House, in favor of Republicans ! Democraps have never had such a Gold Standard. Democrats had many accomplishments at the time. Cleveland's Boubon Democrats were able to generate Economic Depression (only surpassed by FDR and Obama), Slaveholders were still able to prevent Blacks from voting or prospering (no Elected Republican owned any Slaves), Coal Miners Strike (removing coal miners from Dem ranks), immediately followed by Pullman Strike, crippling Railroad transportation, and Cleveland using Federal Troops to intervene in them.
And the far lesser known Party flip of 1922, going from a Republican Majority 171 Seats all the way over to a Republican Majority 18 Seats.
Flipping from Republican Majority to Republican Majority, yes sireee.
You should stop using Libtard Maths to present your point, they are mostly just amusing.

Everything. Every single thing that has happened in the last two years is the fault of the Democrats, and how their party has been co-opted by the extreme Authoritarian Left.
NONE of this would have happened in a GWB world, because there was a system of checks and balances between the parties.
2016 through 2018 just happened. The November elections will likely be much more of the same.
So.... now what for the Democrats?
Are you going to regain some of your sanity, find your way, and throw the "reaverfans" out of your party?
Keep laughing. All the way into a Republican super majority one day.
You Democrats just gave the GOP their long time wet dream in the Supreme Court.
Just think about how much worse it could be if Donald Trump was at least a little likable.
I mean REALLY think about that one.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
With Stock Markets at All-Time Highs, Unemployment at Record Lows, particularly Minority Unemployment, Peace breaking out all over the World, Criminals of the previous Democrat Adminstration finally being thrown in Prison. It might be the greatest landslide ever. Even if he's still not likeable. How long has it been since a New Yorker, the least likeable of Americans, was President?

SCOTUS stops being a Branch of the Democrat Party? But that's the only Branch they have control of!
OH NOES!!

Or Libs could bring down programmed technology - which only Libtards and other social illiterates are dependant upon.
Inner Cities can shoot each other at a range of 2 feet, and endure rampant starvation, thus decimating the Democrap base.
This might be funny to think about, Civil War now that Democrats have lost their Slaves.

"Democraps have never had such a Good Standard."
I'm afraid you're displaying some blatant partisan ignorance again. There were many 'flips' in the House, though not all as dramatic. Some were made by steady, incremental gains over the years, that built up to a majority, then continued on to a super-majority. Others were small nibbles at the edges of a nearly balanced House. And then, there's the fact that democrats held the House nearly continuously (4 years excepted) for 60 years, from 1935 to 1995. Republicans would have to control the House for another roughly 41 years to rival that record.
But, we're getting away from the original point. While I make no prediction on whether or not the democrats will win enough seats to gain a majority in the House, it's well within historic possibility.

Regarding your Math. From 1994 Election until next month is 24 years, with the 4 year exception included. So 36 more years, not 41.
After Nov 2020, only 34 more to go.
You may have heard of algore's invention of the interwebs. The widespread availability of it seems to have coincided with the period of which you point out. One of it's promises was the unfiltered, unfettered distribution of facts, information. So the better informed Electorate (excepting that sophomoric Rock-The-Vote experiment in 2006 with the Uninforned Youth) has been making better Voting choices. Now how are Democraps going to finagle away information from the Voting Electorate? MSM was slow to catch on, but have been battling mightily against the horrors of free, unbiased and unfiltered information.
"Blatant Partisan Ignorance"
Hmmmmm. Perhaps Reality really does have Bias. For the moment I'm still leaning towards Facts and Truth not being the Definition of Ignorance. And Facts and Truth not being the offspring of Party. I could see that Conservative Partisans are the offspring of Facts and Truth, but your argument is for the opposite, which does not compute.

I think NOW we just go back to doing what we should have been doing all along ... identify our common interests as Americans and start working towards attaining them.
And BTW I think we CAN come up with common goals, because this isn't a zero-sum situation.
