Wrong. The young right-wingers are at America's fringe, from which they try to be loud. But politically and culturally they are losers, and
increasingly so. The demographic future is relatively predictable. Americans are becoming less rural as the backwaters empty; less religious as reason overtakes superstition, especially among young people; less white, for several reasons; less bigoted, because modernity and improvement; and less backward, as the great sifting shifts population to modern, successful, educated communities.
Educated, informed conservatives seem desperate -- enough to embrace Trump -- because they understand that maintaining an electoral coalition for backwardness and intolerance is becoming more difficult in America. Soon, not even the three pillars of conservative electoral strategy -- gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the structural amplification of yahoo voices in the Electoral College and Senate -- will be enough to make Republicans competitive in national elections. They'll continue to lord over the can't-keep-up stretches -- Mississippi, Wyoming, Alabama, Kentucky, maybe even West Virginia and Idaho -- but to remain politically and culturally relevant in the United States the Republican Party must change or die.
I vote "die."
Either way, the superstitious slack-jaws and half-educated bigots will be replaced. By better Americans. Does anyone genuinely believe school prayer is coming back to public schools, gay-bashing will return to mainstream society, abortion will be criminalized, universal health care is not inevitable, creationism will return to science classrooms, Social Security will be terminated, or immigration will be stopped? Some people were gullible enough to believe that Mexico would pay for a wall, that Hillary would be incarcerated, and that Trump would enable uneducated, unskilled rural white men to prosper at the expense of accomplished, educated residents in "elite" communities, but those people are not America's future. The Republican Party platform is a handy summary of 'what's not going to happen in America.'
The internet and right-wing media enable malcontents a chance to amplify their voices, but America's young people are not becoming Republicans, right-wingers, or conservatives.
Democrats should not become overconfident, though. If conservatives perfect a machine that mass-produces tens of millions of half-educated, economically inadequate, superstitious, disaffected, selfish, backward, easily frightened, gun-loving, elderly, rural white males, and the Republican Party figures a way to register such newly minted yahoos to vote, the liberal-libertarian mainstream could have a real problem on its hands.
April Domestic Box Office Down 17 percent from 2018. (Reminder) Feb. box office was lowest in 17 years also. Apr 19, 16:07
I blame the Alita Challenge what huge impact that had on the box office {nm} Apr 19, 16:24
Wrong, you can't even read. That's year to date, not April, and 2018 had a little movie called Black Panther. {nm} Apr 19, 16:35
Takes more than just one film to make a frame. BP was amazing, but wasn't everything. {nm} Apr 19, 16:44
And yet, domestic revanue is lowest since 2013. Way before BP. (according to Comscore). This isn't working AB. {nm} Apr 19, 17:12
That's cause 2018 ended poorly. Apr 20, 01:29
Yep {nm} Apr 20, 07:31
But at least try to remember what year we're even talking about.. Oh right, that's you "per usual." {nm} Apr 20, 20:23
2019 YTD includes box office made from movies released in 2018. Apr 21, 08:44
I'm not exactly sure where this "We'll replace all these fans" stragety is really headed. These declines suck. {nm} Apr 19, 16:40
We’re not replacing all fans. Only bigots, slack-jaws, religious right are to be replaced. Hope this clarification helps {nm} Apr 19, 19:49
Good. If you can't keep up with a changing culture, then you deserve to be replaced. That's how it has always worked {nm} Apr 20, 01:30
Also “America’s founding stock”? That’s not how it works either. {nm} Apr 20, 06:08
Wrong. The young right-wingers are at America's fringe, from which they try to be loud. But politically and culturally they are losers, and Apr 21, 08:48
bruh.7k5r {nm} Apr 21, 15:36
Translation (Stormfront to English)? Thank you. {nm} Apr 21, 16:22
Free country, so you get to complain about all of this damned progress as much as you like. Carry on, clingers Apr 20, 01:44
Does VictorY use an Ouachita Baptist email acct? Sounds like what Sarah Huckabee Sanders would say {nm} Apr 19, 19:52
