How does the GOP recover with college-educated voters?

[Roll Roons]

It's my 5000th post, so I'd like to ask a very important question.

Millennials, already the largest generational voting bloc in 2020, will make up an even bigger share of the electorate in 2024. And by that time, even more Zoomers will have turned 18 and registered to vote. This'll be even more true in 2028 and beyond. Not only are Millennials and Zoomers much more diverse than older generations, but a lot more of them went to college, and college-educated voters are increasingly Democratic.

Meanwhile, the Silent Generation and the oldest Boomers are dying off. COVID certainly exacerbated this, as over 65s comprise over 80% of all deaths.

So it seems like the GOP has no choice but to find a way to improve with college-educated voters. How do they do it?

I don't think they will try to make inroads with college-educated voters, and will go for that multi-ethnic working class coalition, a lot of which middle class, idea I want to say Rubio was talking about. This would make sense since college-educated voters are becoming left-wing fiscally and socially, while the working class is moving the opposite direction. However, if the GOP changed their minds, they would have to moderate their policies and rhetoric quite a bit, and try to help the Dems go full-on AOC, which would scare off some surbanites. Also, they would have to run Trump and his die-hard followers out of the party, though that will be borderline impossible, imo

...get rid of Trumpism

the opposite direction of where the GOP is going right now

They’d have to move in a completely different direction as a party, which is something they seem to have no interest in doing. They’ll still be able to cobble together an electoral majority with non-college educated voters for at least the short term, but it’ll be hard for them to get big wins out of their current coalition.

No need to, they need to expand their non college voter base beyond the wwc to Hispanics and African Americans
