The cumming GOP Apocolypse

You olds better hope Trump locks in as many judges as possible, because the yoots are coming and they want their free shit. We can all agree that there was some premature issues with the supposed "Emerging Democratic Majority" but the young voter issue will start to become more and more problematic in the coming years for the GOP. Hardcore Husky probably has like 81% of all the young conservatives on the West Coast.

    Young people get older

    And sometimes smarter

    And they are not the monolithic block the NY Times is looking for

    Agree with this. Age and life tends to moderate one's political (and other) viewpoints.

    Sure. It shouldn't be taken as a given that they will all stay AOC fans. But there should be cause for concern among conservatives.

    When people start paying taxes they become more conservative. Weird how it works when the government is finally spending your money.

    It sounds like an urban legend but its true. That first withholding is always special. Kind of like an anal exam dry.


    The GOP or conservatives would be smart to sell a working healthcare access plan that speaks to young and old

    They would be wise to circumvent the schools and teach the real cost of free shit and the wonder of achieving success and paying your own way

    Pop culture and the media skew left same as it always was. Most people are joiners and don't want to stand out. If being left is cool they will be left at least publicly

    We have the Reagan kids who grew up when it was cool to be conservative in the 80's

    Ideas win in the end. That's why the left lies so much about what their ideas really are.

    Today's youth face the prospect of being taxed to death so that a increasingly large bunch of old fuckers who've lived a low tax, high benefit lifestyle--I'm looking at you DJ--can keep collecting free shit. These kids also aren't having any kids. The math doesn't work. The "conservative" position would be to jettison the dead weight represented by the old fuckers--which would be a bunch of the posters here. Ice floes? Assisted suicide? Or just starvation? Whatever works.

    You concern over tax rates is legendary

    Raise them to save the overtaxed youth. Great plan

    This is why conservatives sleep well at night. The opposition is brain dead

    Those of us living in the real world know that this period of low taxation can't last given what our generation in particular expects of government. The only question is how much we saddle our kids with before we start raising rates. We can choose to do it incrementally, like intelligent beings, or we can wait until there are no other options, like your gang wants to.

    I always enjoy hearing from the tug’s geriatric “free market” advocates that favor protectionism, tariffs, higher taxes on US consumers and rabid nationalism to save capitalism. Makes me laugh every single time.

    My gang is not stupid enough to claim we are paying too low of taxes

    Look at how @CirrhosisDawg screamed like a stuck pig when he lost his state deduction.

    Stop taking SS out of my income and give me what I've paid back- no interest even - and you can keep SS for yourself.

    @HHusky is so worried about our youth he wants to increase spending by 30 trillion on free shit and green energy that is useless

    But we don't tax enough!!!!!

    Idiots
    You said it better but I said it first.

    Advocates for protectionist border wall, trade restrictions and tariffs on China, Eu and mexico? For starters:

    Race
    Greenbob
    Salem cuog
    GayBob
    Southern dawg
    Bend me over on the river

    There’s a lot more of you supposed “free marketers” for protectionism but this is a good working list.

    I have to admit, Bend me over on the river got a chuckle. So you get an upvote.
