I know right… People have been saying this for TEN years. “The conservative party is going to die out as more old people die off” was the big one in the late 2000s. Then the Republican elite slimeballs realized that was probably true so they invested billions into astroturfing new conservative support, along with all the fascist bullshit too of course.
What we’re seeing now is the result of decades of disciplined effort from Republican/billionaire strategists and lobbyists, and it’s paid off a ton. I don’t think it’s going anywhere for the next few years at least.
I wish I shared your optimism

Unfortunately, stupid old people have raised stupid young people, and they’re replacing themselves with gusto
I’m eternally grateful to live in a civilised country
