Will Future Generations Make The Republican Party A Relic From The Past

[Stephanie]

No.

Future generations will follow in the same pattern as present and past generations. They will often start out as Democrats when they are young, and then when they learn things and get more experience and knowledge, they will become Conservative.

Some, will stubbornly remain Democrats, but most will wise up.

When people grow up, they tend to become more Conservative. Real World problems & responsibilities push them in that inevitable direction. Very wise observation on your part.

Very true..It's easy to be a liberal when you're young, then you go out into THE REAL world.. it's also easy to be liberal in my opinion because than you don't have to stand for ANYTHING...just say you CARE more about people, advocate that people be FORCED to take care of others not with their monies, but with the heavy hand of a Government they want to wield against others so they crow, we care more..

The thread raises a fascinating question. I would think that a subtitle would be something like "can the GOP remain this conservative as America's demographics continue their inevitable change?"

I sure as hell don't know, but I definitely don't see the GOP putting out much effort to attract blacks and Hispanics. Okay. And, trying to read between the lines, it sounds like they don't plan to, rather they believe they can influence minorities to vote GOP in a battle of ideas. Okay, I understand that too, because I'm so against identity politics.

Tough call. But what I'm seeing is one party saying "you need us, we'll take care of you, you're a victim", and the other party not saying much of anything. Seems to me the GOP's chance of success in increasing their minority support will have to come from conservative minority leaders, and I don't see a ton of those right now.

.

Can't argue much with your observation. I will add that the GOP, or rather Conservatives in general, hope to lift ALL people up regardless of skin color or ethnicity. At least they are honest enough not to pander to minorites, promising but not delivering like the Democrats do.

Seems to me that the lift will be heavier for the GOP than for the Dems, who go right after those groups, of course. That's why I'm thinking the conservative minority leaders will have to really challenge their constituencies -- convince them not to react to identity politics -- to be effective. Yes?

You are right, but people who are on any government payroll, members of unions or minorities who demand entitlements of undeserved benefits, because their great grandparents were exploited by white great grand parents of the past, will never learn, will never grow up and will never vote for anything but Democrat.

Unions claim to speak for middle class, but they only speak for those who are too stupid to speak for themselves, and pay monthly ransom to thugs who deny their right to work, forces them on the picket line and price themselves out of reasonable competition, sending jobs overseas.

Another group which is irrevocably and beyond hope stupid is the billionaire phony pretenders of Hollywood, the only group of the hated 1%-ers who never earned their obscene wealth.

Like someone said earlier: You Can't fix stupid.

That is an interesting question. Can the GOP remain this conservative as America's demographics continue their inevitable change?

The answer is that the democrats can't remain as socialistic or communistic as demographics change any more than Republicans can remain conservative.

If millions and millions of Chinese moved to Sweden and replaced the Swedish language and culture, Sweden to all intents and purposes would no longer exist. It would cease to exist due to the demographic change.

What democrats refuse to accept is that demographic change ends the existence of the entire country. They also refuse to accept that socially, at least, minorities are far more conservative then they are. You won't see same sex marriage rights, equality for women or liberty for minorities coming from an inevitable demographic change. These ideas are American ideas. They are ideas of western civilization. They are not shared by the rest of the world. They do not exist in China, India, mexico, or anywhere in the middle east. They certainly don't exist in Africa. Democrats have deluded themselves into thinking that minorities are their house pets because democrats feed them. They pay them and imagine that this brings loyalty to democrats. How silly! What a downright silly idea. Minorities are being kind because they are still minorities! When they aren't minorities anymore there is no reason to lick the democrat hand. They can tale whatever they want without the democrats.

Democrats are amusing. They want the end of the GOP so badly, that they don't realize that what they really want is the end of themselves too.

Surely enough young people will catch onto the fact that 20%-30% of voters go to the polls and because of cultural and social issues vote against their own economic interest by electing Republicans. The Republican party is the party of corporations and the wealthy. The Democrats stand for what used to be the middle class or working America.

The more young people whom pay attention for themselves the more young people who will actually be conservative instead of liberal.

Mac1958 wondered: "can the GOP remain this conservative as America's demographics continue their inevitable change?"

Demographics change, indeed.

I am old enough not to worry about it, because I won't be here to see when "white" will be dirty word. When books and documents (including the Constitution) will be burned and replaced by "Dreams From My Father". When Dickens and Shakespeare will be burned and replaced by the collected works of Sol Alinsky, Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin. When Mozart, Beethoven and Liszt will never be heard again and be replaced by crap spewed by Bruce Sprinsteen and Snoop Daddy (?). When white people will be hunted down, their property confiscated and their farms turned into fallow wastelands.

Those who so joyously celebrate change in demographics should take a close look at Zimbabwe. Or Liberia. Or the Ivory Coast. Or Nigeria.

Or for that matter, Mexico or Cuba or Venezuela.

Dem plan is to have half the citizens stimulating the economy by being on unemployment so they can pay for the other half collecting food stamps

Selling out constituencies to gain favor with the extreme right of the party will doom the GOP with future generations. Anti-Hispanic, anti-black, anti-gay, anti-woman.......won't be long

It's not anti-black, anti-hispanic, anti-gay, or anti-woman...it's pro-work, pro-life, pro-personal responsibility, and pro-morality.

The liberal model simply doesn't work. It's completely unsustainable to have half the people in the country relying on the other half of the people of the country. I know it. You know it. And Vegetable Lasagna knows it.

Eventually son, you run out of other people's money.

It's not running out of other peoples money, but stacking the deck so that money flows upward. Since the Reagan revolution, the standard of living for the middle class, affordability of education, ability to rise in class and adjustability of the American dream have all declined

Republican utopia

That's the big difference between Republicans and Democrats..

Republicans don't lump people into groups and race and use them to beat the hell out of people..We see everybody as INDIVIDUALS who has the right to make their own lives in this FREE America whether they choose to SUCCEED or not..but it's not OUR responsibility to take care of people..we have our OWN LIVES and FAMILIES to care for..
Nobody I know is ANTI any of those you listed

that's why liberals-Progressives-Democrats-commies are pathetic

Complete Bullshit

Republicans break people into two groups......the haves and the have nots

When the have nots start to complain about their lot in life, Republicans identify blacks, Hispanics, gays or immigrants as the reason people are suffering

By the time Republicans finish with their agenda, there may not be a "United States". Rather a "banana republic" al la "old west" every man for himself.

Predictions of gloom aside (They make Me laugh, but I never take them serious), I'm curious as to why you think that voting republican is against their own economic interests.

Good Point!s
What have the Democrats done for our poorest citizens? Obama squashed The Welfare Reform Act that was supported by both Democrats and Republicans and was signed into Law by President Bill Clinton.

Socialism has failed Europe big time. However, Germany has seen the light and their economy is in the best shape. Socialism didn't work and will never work.
Chancellor--Angela Merkel of the Federal Republic of Germany has no use for the new socialist leader of France. The Frogs are idiots.

Constitutional Conservatism is on the rise. It's catchin on like wildfire. More & more young people are embracing it. Now if the Republican Party embraces them, they'll have a very bright future. I guess we'll see what they decide.

Will Future Generations Make The Republican Party A Relic From The Past

The GOP is currently a relic from the past.

Telling how all the usual suspects from the right chime in together exhibiting an unwillingness to subject their party to an objective critical analysis – an analysis which is way overdue.
