“Republicans need to understand that their political problems are neither tactical nor transitory,” said Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.). “They are structural and demographic. The hard truth is the GOP coalition constitutes a shrinking portion of the electorate. To change that daunting reality, Republicans must appeal to groups that are currently outside their ranks or risk becoming a permanent minority.”Why is it that, to keep our Republic strong and not transitory; economically sound and not teetering on the brink of collapse; our citizens free to behave as humans should if given enough space (“endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights”) we must prostrate ourselves to disparate groups of weak-minded, easily manipulated (‘Community Organized’) humans who, for whatever reason, miss the reasons we’ve sustained a free Republic for over 200 years?
I’m not saying humans are racially prone to differences in political persuasions. But I am saying that the knowledge and ideas proffered by (what used to be) solid GOP leadership seem to be missing in the ‘groups’ we must now attract to keep this Republic open and free.
Why is it so difficult for the GOP to attract sufficient numbers of thinking people from any ‘group’ anymore? Why do humans have to keep proving to each other by example, over and over again, that Socialism is a dead-end, and leads humans at worst to their suffering and death, at best to their caging, or to otherwise degraded outcomes?
Seems that for the most part, this Republic, that we’ve had in place for well over 200 years, has given humans the best opportunity for outcome of any political system on the planet (given our population count: you can’t compare the US to, say, Switzerland; that dog won’t scale).
The GOP offers(ed) the opportunities. Democrats, the new far-Left version, offer the People’s Republic of China: top-down control of every person, with few freedoms to live outside the controlling framework managed by the State. What’s the shame of it is that members of the ‘groups’ we now must attract all seem to be OK with that.
