Is the GOP worried about its survival?

Border is a complete disaster, crime is out of control, fringe issues have taken full control of the party. Currently, people like me are not being represented by Democrats, Asians and Hispanics are two groups that could potentially move to moderate GOP candidates.

Democrats are too smug and are taking certain groups for granted, It won’t shake out well. Voters like me, we want border control, as a country either you have a border or not. Current situation at the border is not sustainable. There were two murders in DC ( both Asian men), Mayor Bowser couldn’t be bothered to share a message of sympathy, instead she twisted herself into a pretzel trying to explain why the criminals weren’t so bad.

Are we blaming the victims now just so we can protect certain groups? As an Asian, if any Asians commits crime, go ahead and make an example out of him/her so that our kids can learn better.

I live in McLean right next to Tysons and crime has increased tremendously in last 4-5 years. No, before you brand me as racist, I used to live in the exurbs with all kinds of ethnicities as our neighbors ( it’s true even now but DCUM doesn’t think McLean has right kind of diversity), they were majority good people trying to live their lives.

I’m sorry, but there were more than two murders in the District of Columbia, yet you are only think two are worthy of thought and consideration. about Interesting.

Bowser should not be defending criminals regardless of two or two hundred murders. When you shield criminals, it’s not a good look, doesn’t matter how you spin it.

Lol. Southern Texas.

The Rio Grande Valley used to be heavily blue.

Democrats should think long and hard before they rely on the "demography is destiny" strategy. Between 2016 to 2020 Trump improved his standing with every single demographic group except for white men.

This. The Rio Grande Valley was supposed to predict the future of Texas as the Hispanic vote grew, now the Hispanic vote there is deep red. It seems strange to rely on votes from a group that is very opposed to a large portion of your platform, but I guess that's the plan

Look what voting R has gotten them: https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/rio-gra...icas-poorest-cities/

OK, they are still voting R though.

You can’t fix stupid.

Is that how you view Hispanic Americans?

Not the PP, but that's how I view anyone that votes GQP

Dems are driving Hispanics to the GOP en masse.

Liberals have been saying the GOP would go extinct since about the 1950s. People just get more conservative the older they get once they have homes, have families, and have decent jobs. Story as old as time.

The birthrate is lower than ever, 50% of 18-45 yr olds live at home and millennials own a fraction of the wealth that boomers did at the same age.

And yet the US' population will keep increasing well into 2070.....because of ding!ding!ding! Immigration, most of which are Hispanics from down South. See how well it goes for Democrats over the next 40 years as they invite in millions of people per year who are super Catholic, super traditional family value oriented, who come from male dominated cultures, and who respond to politicians with strongmen personalities. Democrats are currently making the biggest blunder of all time with open borders.

You realize we need immigrants to do jobs that native born Americans won't do, right? Work on the fields, in slaughter houses, in nursing homes etc. If we don't have "those people" here then you are going to have to wipe your grandmother's ass and kill and dress your own sheep.

This is why they are doing so much education reform in many states. The GOP knows it cannot get most of the educated young populous to join its ranks.

If they change what kids can learn and how they can learn that information, the GOP controls the narrative.

The GOP likes to toss around the term woke but what they really mean is educated. They aren't scared of a woke society. They are scared of an educated. Society is more educated than ever before and the masses are no longer dumb enough to fall for their tricks and talking points.

When I was in HS in VA, THE clubs to be part of were the Young Christians Club and the Young Republicans Club. Both had so many student members that they had to meet in the auditorium and lunch rooms, respectively. Their club photos in the yearbook took up full pages to two full pages some years. The Young Democrats club had maybe 3 dozen students and met in a normal classroom and had a small block in the yearbook.

Now, at the high school my teens attend, the PRISM GSA club has the most members and the second largest club is the Young Democrats. There are only a few handfuls of students in the Young Republicans club and maybe a dozen or so in the Christianity Club.

All of this. I am white, female, GenX. I have become more liberal over time. I'd say my friend/peer group is almost evenly divided. But the kids, to a person, seem liberal in ways that we were not. I don't think the GOP has a future with the kids, starting with milllenials.

It's not really "in droves" - it's an uptick, not a tidal wave

And compared to the 1980's it is basically nothing.

They voted R in a couple of elections. Maybe the trend continues, maybe it doesn't. What the GOP seems destined to be unable to overcome is the urban areas that are growing and are blue. South Texas isn't going to outpace that.

And the Republicans are currently fervently opposed to granting citizenship to many of these people.

Which is why they want to make it harder for college students to vote and otherwise disenfranchise as many non-white-males as they can.

Not at all.

The more bat$hit crazy the Democrats get, the more comfortable I am, as a Republican, that reasonable Democrats will start to defect from the Democratic Party.

Walk Away, if you will.

Democrats seem to be all about government censorship, government control, demonizing law enforcement, over turning Constitutional Amendments, open borders, and supporting teachers unions - NOT supporting parents and students.

Joe Biden's presidency is the cause of reasonable Democrats and classical liberals to rethink their affiliation with the Democratic Party.

Nobody is banning books. I am fine with making sure certain books are not available in school libraries. That is not banning.
Placing limits on abortion? I am all for it. The life inside the woman matters.
And, who is limiting care for trans people? You think that CHILDREN should have life changing medication and surgical procedures when are not of the age of consent?

So you don’t care about abortion? Guns? The environment?

The woman matters the most.
