Of what?
Will anyone ever acknowledge the biggest threat to the GOP is demographics?
Any of thisâŠI will not change your mind and you will not change my mind. In fact, I have never once seen someone who was as partisan as either one of us change their mind based on an Internet message board conversation.
Youâre a great guy but we will never agree on anything that is politically important.
I still donât take your point. Are you suggesting that I (or you, or both of us) should stop posting?
HaâŠno EDâŠI am simply suggesting that since we are polar opposites politically that it is probably pointless. We can do itâŠ
I am going to hit the Gym now talk to you all later.
Somebody leaked a Video of Putin?
I need your help again, loppar:
How do you say âDead RussiansâŠ?â

So, goal posts moved - worrying about and predicting the long run is justified so long as itâs done with rational information and not the âfeelsâ:
Yes, itâs good to rely on information and not just feels - and thatâs precisely what kicked off this conversation about the long run, champ - USMCâs data points about how young people (future GOP voters) are hugely turned off by Trump. You know, actual information. Good Lord. Is it that you canât read, or just choose not to?
But in any event, youâve changed your tune since it now suits your purpose - during your non-stop self-congratulations over your prediction of Trump winning the election (wait, I thought predicting the future was off-limits?), you didnât rely on data or statistics or voting trends - you went with Trump because of the âfeelsâ that Hillary was so awful, she wouldnât win despite the data saying she probably would.
So, which is it, Zeb? Once again, different standards for different situations - you tell us you canât predict the long term unless youâre clairvoyantâŠoh, except when you want to in a presidential election, and you canât predict the future on the âfeelsââŠexcept Zeb can, when he wants to.
Hilarious.
Raj and Zeb are in a race for last place in the category of reading comprehension. Good thing theyâre internet bros - they deserve one another.
No, because it isnât. The biggest threat is legions of so-called liberty lovers sycophantically licking the boots of a Mussolini wannabe and defying the classical liberal tradition of the nation.

Whatever you say
Diversity is a strength am I right

Well, if itâs not, leave.
When you and the bulk of whites become seniors do you think non white groups will not vote for policies that strip away dollars away from the elderly care programs?
You are in for a rude awakening
On to the topic @anon50325502 raised before Zeb came in like the drunk uncle at Thanksgiving shouting about the Clintons secretly being alien lizards. From the article:
Even among self-described Republicans of this age range, a mere 35 percent approve.
This tracks closely with the general disapproval stats weâre seeing for Trump, and young people are not as fixed as they once were to party.
Plus, and I think this is really a big deal - young people were ready for the party(ies) to turn the corner for the future and wave goodbye to Baby Boomer leadership. But what does the GOP do? Nominate the ultimate grotesque cartoon of the Boomer generation and all of its well-documented vices. And he won, and now heâs governing like a drunken Baby Boomer on rage pills, and young people - very much driven by generational conflicts of interest in politics these days - are wise to it.
I see this as setting the GOP back with young voters for a long time.

No, these non-whites wonât vote for policies that strip away dollars from elderly care programs. They vote Democrat, remember?

Theyâll just vote to reallocate dollars that better hit their own people
No, they wonât - thatâd be a race-based allocation.
Nice try though - the whole new tactic of âscare whites into thinking the brown-skinned folk are going to take away Social Securityâ is transparent, and incredibly stupid, in light of how many claims youâve made about how automatic it is that brown-skinned people will vote for the ever-expanding welfare state.
I like posts like this that really give insight into the thought process that leads someone to the beliefs they have. It makes the conversation more interesting, and allows us to better understand those that have alternate views.

Iâm impressed they managed to schedule a start date without figuring out how to pay for it first.
Do only white people become elderly?
