It really is just that simple. People don't want to face the fact that America just isn't the country it was a few decades ago. The population is not the same. Demographics are working strongly against the GOP. People want their freebies, people want a quasi-nanny state, and ignorant people will always tend to vote for whomever offers them the most stuff. We are not a rugged individualist nation by any means these days.
Republicans will win elections when the left truly makes a mess of things, but it will be very hard to ever truly cut anything or make big changes. We are increasingly like Europe.
On the bright side, the one thing that could change all of this is a complete collapse of the current order. We are following in Europe's footsteps and they are headed towards a cliff. We may not be all that far behind. That will provide an opportunity for conservatives to make real gains and fundamentally make their case for an end to the social welfare state.
Very well said. I’d vote for you :)
So we educate or annihilate.
