Future of the GOP

[Vosem]

Republicans control a House of Congress. They're a major party and aren't going anywhere anytime soon. It's perfectly possible that they'll survive but be locked out of the presidency for 12 years or even more. Remember in 2005 Democrats were about to die off?

Their current agenda of...fiscal conservatism is only popular with a shrinking base: old white...males.

And young people, let's not forget them. [the smiley face with the tongue pointing out to the side]

But, yeah, social conservatism as we know it today is slowly dying.

Eh, making political predictions 60 years in advance is pretty much impossible. There's no way we could even predict what the main political issues will be by then, much less who's on what side of them. The Republicans will lose the issue of gay marriage, which will turn into something like contraceptives and divorce are today: accepted by most people including the government but opposed only by a handful of religious groups. It will no longer be a major political issue. We'll be fighting over something else that would sound really strange to argue about today.

I already support designer babies, we can argue about that
