The Republican Base Is Dying Off — Future Not Looking Good

[AD2100]

I don’t think there’s anyone out there that would disagree that the GOP base consists mainly of aging white men. Poll after poll has shown that the Republican base skews older and whiter and mostly male, so this is nothing new.

But here’s the problem with the human condition – we die. And the chance of death increases as a person gets older which is, again, nothing new. But when you put those two items together, you get a very clear picture of why the Republican Party is in so much trouble heading into the 2016 elections. To put it bluntly, their base is dying off.

Does it mean things are getting better or worse?

At least two problems with this:

1.  The GOP keeps winning across the country.  They hold the majority of governorships and state legislatures, the House, and the Senate.  They made historic gains in the 2014 elections.  There is no trend supporting this claim. 

2.  Who the heck wrote that speech?  "Homicidal police officers"?  Every Republican candidate does not support immigration?  Not "illegal," immigration, but immigration period?  Most of the young voter demographic supports Bernie Sanders?  I'm not sure I've heard more nonsense in less than 3 minutes.

Attempt to clean up from next year's presidential ass kicking...FAIL.

Attempting to predict the outcome of 2016 elections across the country and the state and federal levels, with zero credible evidence . . . massive fail.

Not a particularly difficult "prediction" to make given the demographics of the country and the cast of Dumb & Dumber running for POTUS on the GOP side.
"Zero credible evidence"...LOL Oh, brother!

Calm down, Rush. You over forty white guys get all in your feelings when the truth come out.

Problem with having The Party is that all sorts of shit will happen and be covered up, especially when the press is all about it.  I guess we could say that's already happening.

That's all you got?  So I take you didn't watch it?

Do you agree with the kid on the video that Republicans are "against immigration"?

Get your old, fat Rush Limbaugh-looking ass up outta here! All in your feelings and shit.

Dude you should be embarrassed for listening to that kid. 

No comment on the immigration line? 

What about his claim that the police are homicidal?  You probably believe Michael Brown had his hands up and was executed.

It needs a change. There needs to be another party to sort out the madness.

I'd definitely like to see a third party, but I doubt it ever happens.

It is locked down by media control.  About 10 -15 super-wealthy people have sweeping control over what we see and hear, and they meet behind closed doors.

If you have multiple parties, then that is how lunatics get control, through coalition governments.

Hitler and the Nazis rose to power even though the largest margin they ever had was 43 Percent.

And I believe only 33% when he was named chancellor. Man, good times.

If there’s one motivating factor behind the average Republican’s vote, it’s anger. And thats not necessarily a good thing, considering most of that anger is drummed up by the right-wing media machine for ratings.
