How will the republican voting base react to the fact that they are dying out?

[shrubnose]

How did the Grand Army of the Republic react when they all died off?

Do a little research on that and you'll have some good clues.

 

[shrubnose]

Old people generally do die off.

I'm not so sure that's really a function of political ideology.

I wonder how the liberal progressives of this country will feel when they discover that their opinions are soon to be subject to approval based on a little red handbook delineating what is acceptable thought and what isn't.

Historically everyone who has ever been born has eventually died.

:lol:

I don't believe that the GOP will get a break on this.

 

[Harry Guerrilla]

It's amusing that either party would want the opposing party gone.
The only reason they continue to exist, is because they're united in opposition to the other party.

If either died, they'd split in short order.

 

[shrubnose]

And as the younger generation ages, they become more conservative.

And when they get old enough they'll die,eh?

 

[shrubnose]

Again no, it's not. In fact your generation are pikers where it comes to progressivism. All talk and no foundation or work ethic. Again, pretty typical in the high school set this last four or five decades.

Sorry kiddo, been there, done that.

Come back and tell us all about it 30 or 40 years from now after massive demographic change has a chance to take full effect.

I'll be interested to hear what you have to say then.

 

[shrubnose]

Heh!

Every generation thinks that their ideas are the best and most "forward thinking".

Eventually they figure out that what they are trying isn't really anything new and that it's failed many times before.

Really ? You think handouts to keep the poor poor and the dependent dependependent is altruistic ?

Its not altruistic, its oppressive and you forgot to mention California in your list of States for some reason

California currently has the Nations highest poverty rate when cost of living is taken into consideration and also has the Nations highest child poverty rates

1/3 of our Nations welfare recipients call California home even though its 12% of our Nations population.

LA is dealing with a homeless and so is San Fransisco. Why do Californians continue to vote Democrat?

Not for just "some reason".

And no I don't think hand outs keep the poor poor. Those are your strawman words.

I'm thinking that going to the moon was more of a ballistic sciences experiment than a social engineering one.

Yup and then the same thing happens to the next generation. Stupid young liberal, intelligent older conservative, dead. Lather, rinse, repeat.

20-30 years from now, people sharing my viewpoints, beliefs, and worldviews will be in the white house, congress, and dominate the voting booths as the old white conservative voting base dies out.

Cali has the highest level of unfunded liabilities in the Nation and it has the Nations highest overall Municipal debt

It also has a higher poverty rate than Mississippi and Arizona or ANY Red State when cost of living is taken into consideration.

There have been several studies who prove that the GOP's main voting demographic of older whites are dying out.

R.I.P., GOP: Party of old, disillusioned white people is dying a slow death - Salon.com

The GOP Is Dying Off. Literally. - POLITICO Magazine

The younger generations of this country are more diverse, more progressive, more educated, less likely to vote gop, less likely to own firearms, less likely to live on a farm in the middle of nowhere watching Fox news, but more likely to live in an urbane, cosmopolitan, educated city.

It's Official: The U.S. is Becoming a Minority-Majority Nation | US News

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ficantly-more-progressive-than-their-parents/

My question is, how will the older, more conservative, gop voting population of this country react to the fact that they are a dying breed? The best case scenario is that they accept that their ideology is fading fast, and accept that the country is moving forward without them.

However, conservatives are known to be sore losers. Look at the 2000 election, where Al Gore won both the popular and electoral votes, but Bush refused to accept this result, and went to the (conservative dominated) supreme court, which illegally declared him the winner. However, with the conservatives losing political power, and the supreme court about to have its first progressive majority in 40 years, political cheating may not bring conservatives the results they desire.

I am afraid that some red states will double down on gerrymandering. it is a real possibility, as the gop realizes their hopeless situation, that they will try to reinstate Jim Crow voting laws, or try sneakier ways of disenfranchising voters such as raising the age limit, requiring voter id, or concentrating polling stations in right wing dominated neighborhoods.

You also have to remember that the right wing owns the majority of this country's guns. I fear that as the right wing becomes more and more of a minority, that they will turn to violence. Even though they will not win this civil war: the Army has tanks, drones, and thermonuclear weapons, the carnage will be unpleasant to say the least. I most certainly wouldn't put the right wing past terrorism towards innocent civilians: Dylan Roof is a perfect example. In fact, the vast majority of terrorism in the usa is right wing. Right-Wing Extremists Are a Bigger Threat to America Than ISIS

The bottom line is the bigoted conservative old white men are dying out, and being replaced with erudite, intelligent, cosmopolitan voters who are progressive and tolerant. I am simply afraid of the turmoil the country will go through in getting rid of the last remnants of the hateful white privileged reactionaries who have ruled for far too long.

We will see - but I don't think as of recent days it is dying like you might think.

Pretty much. Whereas previous generations have gone out and actually DONE something, Millennials tend to sit around and whine on the Internet and don't actually accomplish a damn thing.

Yeah, but they're absolute heroes online and in mmorpgs. What an achievement!

Guess what, POLLS have shown that the country is getting unmistakably more progressive.

And guess what, social media has given a voice to the oppressed, and it is here to stay, no matter how much the right wing mainstream media would like to shut it down.

Again, your lack of history education isn't serving you well - the exact same was said of my generation. You know, the same generation you are railing against. :lamo

"Elite"? It's 29th in national ranking and just recently began to be a little more selective in it's enrollment. Making bonehead History, Math and English courses a must.

Oh you'll have plenty to worry about when we vote en masse just as older white men start dying off.
