Adam Bonica, a political scientist from Stanford University, writing for the New York Times, makes a convincing case that despite the seemingly constant, triumphant, and in-your face drumbeat of hate we’ve witnessed oozing from Trump supporters since 2016, that same fetid cesspool of racism and misogyny that so-called “mainstream” Republicans have eagerly lined up to immerse themselves in will likely end up drowning their party sooner than any of them realize.

The reason is simple demographics:

Once again, the nation is on the cusp of a generational revolution. As a group, millennials favor Democrats by nearly a 2 to 1 margin. Millennials are unlikely to trend Republican as they age so long as the current hyper-polarized political environment persists. However, they will become more likely to vote. (A general rule of thumb is that turnout increases by about one percentage point with each year of age.) This makes it possible to in essence fast-forward the electorate to forecast how the generational advantage will change over the next decade.

Right now the Republican Party has wholly committed itself to parroting Trump’s established brand of virulent racism and his loud, sneering dismissal of just about all of the qualities Americans used to call “general human decency.” Their reasons for doing this all boil down to sheer expediency—Trump’s victory in 2016 has dragged them there. Because their base of support is fundamentally made of up selfish and ignorant human beings, they now visibly and publicly compete amongst themselves seeking the worst common denominator in terms of selfish and ignorant human behavior. This devolution has become the GOP’s sole selling point in an astonishingly short period of time, and at this point there seems to be no level of evil, bigotry, or cruelty too low, or too extreme, that they’re willing to embrace.

Yes, indeed, the millenials have been taught to be good little comrades. This prolonged tantrum that we have been witnessing by the Democraps since the election has been unbelievable to watch. As an Independent, I have made the decision to NEVER vote democrat again. They stand for everything that is wrong with America.

They cry over controlling immigration and their feigned outrage over "the poor children." Give me a break -- how about the 60 million innocent babies who have been aborted. What about those unborn children? Who's selfish?

Let's vote out the worst of the worst and replace them with patriotic Republicans. This country would improve overnight:

Schumer
Pelosi
Maxine Waters
Perez
Markey
Udall
Wasserman-Schultz
Durbin
Green

This would be a good start. Instead of "resistance", why not try working with this president and represent the people who voted for a commonsense America: immigrants who bring skills to America and are willing to acclimate to our society; building a wall so we can keep gangs, terrorists, drugs out of our country; lower taxes so that working Americans can choose to spend their hard earned money the way they choose; fewer onerous regulations so that companies are less burdened and taxed and can grow and hire more people; the virtual weakening and near elimination of ISIS.

This political writer talks about "selfish." Obama put immigrant children in dog cages, not a word from the hypocritical partisans. I guarantee you if immigrants voted Republican, the Democraps would be screaming bloody murder. I can't stand the hypocrisy anymore.

The democrats have overplayed their hand and have lost this voter forever!
