Okay, hold your horses. Let me break this down a bit before you decide I'm extremely biased haha
First off, a disclaimer: this is all conjecture. One must always retain a baseline of skepticism with lofty geopolitical casting, especially one's own.
With that out of the way, I'm going to point out some ways the right is not going to win.
- no one wants to hop back on the evangelical social mess of late 90s/early 2000s, not even the majority of the boomers.
- actual racists are not appreciated by the majority of either party
- I think it's a strong possibility we could end this 4T with universal healthcare (likely more based on an Australian model than a UK one)
- We could very well see a return to unions
- Taxes will almost certainly be higher than they are now
- normal people never really stood with the "facts don't care about your feelings" crowd. This is what individualistic intellectuals who score low on trait agreeableness think, not normal centrists of either leaning (I am one of the former, but I'm not delusional to think the majority of people would ever behave like that regularly)
Now, why they are going to lose
- no one likes the woke left, not even the genuine leftists. just look at the difference between critic vs viewer scores on rotten tomatoes. the liberal arts intelligencia loves it, everyone else is sick of it
- right wingers in the United States have a long track record of playing fairly nice with each other. Leftists tend to spiral into purity wars and end up cannibalizing each other.
- everyone is tired of the modern dating norms, which are making them miserable.
- Hispanic, Asian and black Americans are not nearly as "liberal" as white democrats like to pretend they are. Half the people I know in millennial/Gen Z right wing circles are interracial couples, and talk to people of other races far more frequently than coastal democrats tend to.
- the more dangerous society gets, the more bargaining power men have in relationships, especially given the average millennial woman is around 32, and running out of time to have children. they will need to make some serious compromises and change their behavior if they want to grab a man for the longterm while they still can
- people are flocking to red states for a reason. everyone realizes the Covid totalitarian states of NY, NJ and CA are failing
- a large portion of the modern right...are people who have already been cast out by the left.
- historically, the right is better organized and stresses principles of unity, discipline and strength. this is a lot more appealing to most people than division, being constantly antagonistic toward your country and viewing your entire civilization with the contempt of original sin
