Prediction: the GOP will become a far left party in the next 10-15 years

I just don't see evidence of that. The country certainly moves left over the decades but slowly. There will always be a right wing

And the extreme far right of the modern Republican Party is destined to die a demographic death.

You wanted evidence. I gave evidence. But it’s okay, you prefer ignorance and think demographics aren’t real and predictions can’t be made from them.

They have their own spokespeople. You would probably call them “the woke mob” or something like that. Gen Z is incredibly progressive, especially when it comes to social issues.

You are assuming you have no realistic inside knowledge of.There are woke members in every generation, including the baby boomers that the modern left cannot wait to die off. Rank and file members of any generation do not necessarily vote in lockstep with the snooty ivy league crowd. The reality is that democrats will continue to do well in the big cities and republicans will continue to do well in the heartland.
Questerr said:
If the Republicans keep pushing social conservatism, they will receive less and less votes as Boomers die off and Gen Z age up.

You speak of social conservatism as if its something that you have to scrape off your shoes after walking through a cow pasture. The reality is that well into the future, libruls and conservatives will continue to be relatively close to an even split. Whichever side inspires it's bas to come out and vote generally wins. Generation Z will not change that.

Did you read this part?

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. "

YUP...you just made my point. The Constitution did not delegate to the Congress which makes the Laws the right to establish a religion or even a religious foundation to them which immediately blocks any effort by the SC to offer opinions based in a religious foundation which clearly they did in Dobbs, which Alito admitted to in Dobbs. That is unless the SC has its head stuck up its ass...which is where the Robert's court's head is. The Roberts court simply does not care what is in the Constitution. Certainly at least 5 of them don't care and I can make a case for a 6th.

Why shouldnt he have excluded interracial marriage? There is no political fight to take that privacy away and there likely never will be in the future.

It is based in the right to privacy. Either the inherent right to privacy exists or it does not. It does not exist at a whim.

Tell me would you have been OK without our rights to privacy? Would you have been just pleased as punch with federal agents bashing though your front door to see what you are doing in your bedroom without just cause? Would you be OK with them leaving a video camera in your home, monitoring all of your movements, all of your communications, all of the prescriptions you fill at the drug store without as much as a by your leave? That is what China has and the only thing that keeps us from being China is the inherent right to privacy.

No shit. Did you read my post? “Of the modern Republican Party”. Those were words in that post, right?

Some of what you feel is far right is more center
 
Didn't read all 9 pages so I don't know if this option has been suggested, but more realistic than the GOP going far left may be that it throws off Trumpism and reverts back to old school conservatism grounded in reason and realpolitik.

There is no even split in social issues among Gen Z. The overwhelming majority of that generation are progressive on issues like abortion, LGBTQ rights, racism, and legalization of drugs.

If Republicans keep trying to push social conservatism on those issues, they will keep losing votes.

Which would finally make sense, but first they have to continue destroying their current selves and spend a few years wandering in the wilderness.

Yes, even in Alabama. Gen Z has far more progressive positions on social issues across the board than the Republican base.

Show me THAT Alabama poll. Lol
