    The Republicans party is very much elderly people, uneducated people, and religious people.

    The old people are dying, religion is on a steady decline.

    The thing is that Republicans show up to vote because their bubble is largely fear driven politics.

    They also have gerrymandering on their side, they limit polling places, they unconstitutionally use poll taxes that disproportionately affect minorities, they make voting harder by eliminating vote by mail… In short, they cheat like fuckin crazy and rile up their base to get out and vote.

    I would not agree that they’re gonna disappear by 2028, but they are waning.

    Globally, far right politicians are getting more votes.

    GOP will be around for decades or more.

      Everything you’ve said is true. But it was all true in 70s as well. Todays young people aren’t going to remain as progressive - every generation becomes more conservative over time. Hell, baby boomers were hippies. That Karen who votes for Trump and calls the HOA when you forget to take your bins in on time - there’s a good chance she was burning her bra for equal pay when she was in college.
