The GOP Has Been HIJACKED!

[Kinser79]

Quote:It appears to me that the GOP is already split and may cease to be a viable major party. I would like to see a new party emerge from the ashes.

The quote system was acting weird. Damn you learning curves!

Honestly, if it does, it will be on an authoritarian-libertarian axis rather than a left-right axis. I for one would welcome that particularly if the Libertarian side wins the 4T. Having played both sides in bourgeois politics, both parties are pretty divided. The Dems aren't fairing well with Hillary at the helm, but I do think that Trump will eventually be able to reunite the GOP. It will of course retain the same name but the forces it represents politically will be drastically different.

Part of this has to do with generational constellation. Boomers are already on their way out and only the very youngest of them are remaining long in politics outside the federal stage. Xers are already the majority in the House, and should take the Senate this year.

Furthermore many of the Dems seem to be relying on demographics to save them. However, they are discounting on key factor. Millies will remain radical until such time as they have something they view as worthy of conservation. At that point they will become conservative. Conservative in the sense that the new status quo will be conserved no matter the cost. Much like the GIs did.
