What makes you Identify with the Party you do?

[King]

My state's Democratic Party sucks ass and the Republican Party here sucks significantly less ass.

This is a perplexing subject for me. I turn 27 this year, so I don't even really fit into the "18-25" demographic anymore, but the very reason I identify with the Republican Party is because of how extreme the Democratic Party has gotten.

Life is only gonna get harder for you, son.

What the hell does that mean?

If you don't change your attitude on all of the issues you laid out, the rest of your life is going to be fairly miserable.  Most of the people with your ideals have a recent death in the next decade or two to ease the pain of the social change. You're only 27.

But you might have told me the same thing in 1965 or 1975. Who would have known the conservative revolution that would come in the following decades?

People were more liberal on drugs, religion, and gay rights in 1975 than in 1985? The answer is no. There was an economic move the right in the eighties but the trend leftward on social issues continued steadily.

Completely irrelevant stuff you're bringing up.

I am telling you the truth. The Republican Party will endorse gay marriage, profanity on the radio*, and drug decriminalization in your lifetime. You better learn to roll with the punches.
