Question

in the state of politics?

Are the Democrats going to be the major party?

Are Libertarians going to take over the GOP?

Will the Social Conservatives become a minority in American Society?

Will Christianity have less influence in society as Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Agnosticism, Atheism, etc will get more influences?

Answer 1

Today's socially progressive youth will become tomorrow's socially conservative seniors.

And the new youth .. they will be socially progressive.



Don't forget that today's socially conservative seniors were the Hippie generation. They make today's socially progressive youth look pretty conservative, by comparison.



As for politics, little changes there. Ever. Same with sociological institutions.

Answer 2

What socially progressive means changes over time, not what people think, so what is call socially progressive to day will be called socially conservative in 30 years, However economic issues will still be the same.

Answer 4

Social conservatism will most likely take on a new definition.



However, the people who believe in the Traditional and Judeo-Christian Values that this country was founded on aren't going away anytime soon.



The day the GOP becomes Libertarian is the day our political system mirrors Europe, a political party for EVERY philosophy.



However, I'm fairly certain that this great country is nearing the end of its rope. The average life-expectancy of a free society is roughly 200 years.

Highly doubtful that the U.S. will exist in 30 years.

The youth of today will still be too unemployed, too poor, & if they went to college or got sick, too far in debt to be conservative in any way, socially or otherwise

Since that's not reality, why worry about it?



The older and wiser people get, the more they vote Democratic:
