When Liberals Rule The World by Mark Morford

When Liberals Rule The World
Stats say the GOP is dying. But red-staters are breeding like drunken ferrets. Who wins?

Here's the good news: The Republican party is dying. Slow, painful, twitching, secreting war and intolerance and desperation like a fetid gas, snarling and gagging like Jabba the Hutt being choked by the hard chain of progress and hope and relaxed social mores and an upcoming Generation Next that seems to sense that screaming about gays and women's rights and Muslims and drugs actually doesn't do much to move the human experiment forward in the slightest.

Is this not delicious? Is this not cause for rejoicing? According to Pew Research, the percentage of young 'uns age 18 to 25 (a.k.a. Generation Next) who identify with Republicans has been in steady decline since the early '90s, and now hovers around a meager 35 percent, down from a high of 55 percent in the Reagan-toxic early-90s, and is still dropping, whereas fully 48 percent of 18-to-25-year-olds now lean Democratic ... and rising.

Seems Generation Next tend to be more socially liberal and much less worried about the trembling "sanctity" of the failed nuclear family, and are overall less inclined to align with a particular religion. Indeed, it almost makes you want to weep and sigh and go buy a large grass-fed free-range organic hybrid vibrator.

Ah, but there is a flip side. A counterargument. A dark cloud of righteous bleakness and it looms like a giant synthetic cheesecake-scented Glade PlugIn of potential misery.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

anything - someone else has already done so!

Did anyone actually fight liberals besides McCarthy? I looked up the definition of liberal and I too think I am broad-minded, open to new ideas and pretty much tolerant (except for whiny titty babies who cry about thir feelings at the drop of a hat,"...but...but...what about me...?).

Everyone is offended by something. I'm offended by stupidity... :dunce: In other words...freepers! :puke:

I often don't make new posts because by the time I find something to make a post about, someone has beaten me to it. So I can understand! :hi:

fighting the liberals. Remember the good-old days?

Based on Juniors's approval ratings that would be Utah, Idaho, and maybe Wyoming.
