I found this article from the liberal polling site FiveThirtyEight very encouraging. A solid minority of GenZ supported Trump in 2016 and 2020 and are unlikely to ever leave the GOP.

That leaves open the possibility of Gen Z getting more conservative with time. In 2020, they went 60-40 for the Democrats. If 10% switch, that's 50-50. And the Democrats' support is softer than that.

Well hell, put the Dem platform in perspective.

Most people agree with a couple of their objectives but in totality it’s ludicrous.

They are as useless as full-on Democrats and RINOs

Problem is, our soft GOP politicians will start pandering to them to keep them.

getting material from FiveThirtyEight is like fishing in a septic tank.

There are also a number of full up conservative Gen-Z including those going back to their respective churches.

The Democrats are creating an apocalypse and that tends to cause folks to think twice about their convictions.

Isn’t this kinda like liberals moving into red states? They move into conservative areas: websites, parties, clubs, churches, etc., corrupt them and remove them as opponents to their thought. I do not find this reassuring.

The left is bat-crap crazy and totalitarians almost to a person. These people realize that. Conservatives by and large want to let people do their own thing and let me do mine.
Yes, plenty of conservatives want a rigid and structured society too; but most of us want to live and let live. Protect the borders, prosecute the criminals; but let us live our lives as we see fit.

The problem with the Rats going so far left, is that it means the GOP gets overrun with socially liberal “centrists”.

Globull warming isn’t a “social” issue when the “solution” is to destroy the economy.

Interesting, and you could hear the writer’s frustration about this in the article.

Or it means the GOP will continue to be liberal lite.

The culture war was lost in the 70’s. We are dealing with the fall out.
