We are losing because the GOP keeps driving away people who support smaller government, more freedom, lower taxes etc. There are a lot of peop,e who support all the above, but get turned off my the pseudo religious take of the party. More freedom is good. Get all the help you can, even if their personal values don’t align with yours. Just keep personal values out of policy decisions. I say it again, this all or nothing thing approach many republicans, of whatever sub clan, have is a losing proposition. Incremental betterment is the only winning strategy.We're losing because nobody is willing to risk their political career to oppose this nonsense, so voters won't turn out for them.
As it stands now the GOP is effectively democrat-policy-but-drawn-out. If we can't revisit gay marriage after the consequences it has brought to society between drag shows for kids and kink fetish nonsense being taught to 4th graders, then we don't have a country worth much.
This has nothing to do with reasonable minds. This is good people trying to co-exist and tolerate degeneracy to the limits of their extent, and it being pushed further and further every day.
If something isn't done soon to draw a hard line and reel this in, it's going to end up spawning a political movement neither you nor I will have a good time with. This is the blind spot people of your persuasion aren't seeming to understand. The pendulum always swings, just how far are you comfortable with it swinging next time around?
