GOP shifting platform

[後援会]

The GOP is still going to be a fundamentally socially conservative party. The Dems will become too closely hewed to social liberalism, so the GOP is naturally going to mirror that.

That being said, the GOP will probably move slowly in favor of partial drug legalization, immigration reform (I mean, they already endorsed some degree of that this year), and some degree of recognition for gay marriage. There will probably be no movement on issues such as gun control, abortion, affirmative action, and religion in the public sphere.

Plus, there's more to social conservatism/liberalism than drugs and gay marriage. The GOP has a heavy lead among married people and people with children and this is just going to get even stronger as those people become rarer. So yeah, it'll probably stay socially conservative.

The idea that the Republicans need to stop being "socially conservative" is ridiculous. Because there's absolutely nothing that suggests young Americans are more liberal on social issues (excluding gay marriage, marijuana, and immigration which I guess we can cede the first two and the latter will go away. ), even though young Americans are more Democratic.

Normally, I would suggest going more economically moderate, but the economy is going to be so screwed up in a generation or two, that what is right and left might get a little messy. Though I do suspect austerity will be...a factor.
