Young people of today are not just going change their minds when it comes to human rights as they get older. My point is the GOP will have to change their views on social issues at some point or its only going to get worse.
People under 30 are overwhelmingly pro choice for example and than is not going to change as they get older.
Also, religion will be less of a factor in the future as it has been in the past...how much of the republican vote is based on religious belief?
Church membership is strongly correlated with age, as 66% of traditionalists -- U.S. adults born before 1946 -- belong to a church, compared with 58% of baby boomers, 50% of those in Generation X and 36% of millennials.

Yeah, I hope you're right.
It's surprising the push towards Trump types is even as active as is it in today's society, so I'm always a little pessimistic.
As Active has mentioned, populations moving more urban, more mixed race and other factors all make it shocking that the far right is getting the grip they even are. Maybe it's their last stand.
