7. demographics and time are their enemies

The advantage we have is their base is shrinking, which is why they have to go to these desperate measures.

Racism and homophobia don't work nearly as well with people under 30.

And we are getting browner, which makes it harder to play the race card too.

Someone put up what the map would look like if 18-29 year olds were the only voters, and there were just a handful of Bush states.

I'm not saying we can wait them out, but the more draconian they get, the more people will be on our side.
