NYT: The Conservative Force Behind Speeches Roiling College Campuses

[Technocracy Timmy]

They're wasting their time. Anyone who came of age during the Bush years, tea party revolt, and finally Trump will never be Conservative in the numbers of previous generations . They've lost a generation and they better get used to it.

Go to any YAF meeting on a college campus....it's one part white frat guys looking to trigger libs and another part Christian extremists trying to outlaw abortion.

Yeah this is attempt to bring movement conservatism to young people, or better yet bring them into the GOP fold using SJWs as a boogeyman is stupid.

Most of this nonsense appeals primarily to white guys, and even among white guys they aren't particularly large in number.

Another thing worth noting-you yearned for movement conservatism during the primaries as Trump rose to power. Are the crows starting to peck at you up there on your cross?

I'm glad Trump won...he'll destroy the GOP in the long run

I remember you tools saying that in 2013 and look who is President now.

Being unable to legislate when your Party controls the presidency, house, and senate is a pretty clear sign that your Party is on the decline. Carter and the Democrats of the late 70's are the best analogue to Trump and the GOP at the moment.

If we aren't able to govern, how do you explain the weekly meltdowns about the healthcare bill? Sure they flubbed it up in the first 100 days, but I'm seeing a lot of panic that shouldn't be there is the man was incompetent or if the party was in as much chaos as people are saying. The GOP has been in continuous civil war since 2010 and we've retaken the House, Senate, most of the gubernatorial races, and the Presidency in short order.

You mean the same healthcare bill that's going to be altered considerably in the senate to the point where even the Freedom Caucus will grow wary of supporting the newly updated bill? The same bill that's considerably more unpopular than the PPACA ever was?

When you compare what Obama and the Democrats (who were relying heavily on their coalition working with the blue dog within their Party from anti-Bush backlash) managed to get done by now it's quite amazing. Your Party is clearly on the decline. Trump has needlessly spent his political capital on petty fights and is embroiled in scandals. Governing with a President who lost the popular vote and currently has a sub-40 approval rating (and declining) with a GOP congress that can't keep many of its freedom caucus members in line without putting forward legislation that alienates many voters is destined for failure.

We're already seeing this play out, and from here on it's only getting worse.
