The majority of this article is in reference to the death of the Tea Party, but that's mundane, so let's look at the far more interesting conclusion of the piece.
Is the Tea Party over? Radical social conservatism may have brought it to an end – Telegraph Blogs
The obvious answer is yes. Generally, the youth shun the Republican Party, but Ron Paul was able to appeal to this demographic strongly. As the Republican Party becomes older it needs to start trying to appeal to younger voters, and the only way to do that is to adopt the Ron Paul platform.
This seems antithetical to a demographic who have embraced socialistic tendencies. Could you elaborate on how individualism would appeal to this group? I've lived it my entire life so far.
You're saying that individualism doesn't appeal to the youth? Then why did they vote for Ron Paul?
The 18-29 demographic voted handily for O in the general. If they favored Paul then what did they possibly see in O because he has nothing to do with individualism and is all about collectivism. The constrast between these ideologies is stark.
