Current Events > How to get conservatives out of the Republican party

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've recently had an obsession with the Republican party. My goal has been to remove as many conservatives from the party as possible. However, not just that party, but just participating in the American system in general. Like, convince them to completely stop voting.

Probably the biggest challenge are ones who are either in the military or with family in the military, as they've been hit the hardest with the American brainwashing. But I'm making some progress on my closest military buddy

Step 1 would be to not post in them

at this point you pretty much just have to wait for them to die and hope that the younger generation has better critical thinking abilities

so as long as theyre being educated in red states thats not gonna happen

Nope. There is a subset of Zoomers raised by liberal Gen X parents, who are becoming conservative as a backlash against their parents.

Basically as long as there is internet access, it's not going to get better, it will get worse, regardless of who raises them.

When did we stop, and why didn't it help the first time?

Also TC, I'd expect the Republican party to resurge if Buttigieg gets his way on taxing drivers by the mile and if Biden continues stupid shit like bombing campaigns abroad.

So imo there's plenty of improving to do across the board. Getting them into a Republican-lite party won't accomplish anything, and we need as many vote as possible if we ever want there to be a wealth tax on billionaires, a Green New Deal, etc.

I don't support getting them in Republican lite. When I talk to my conservative friends, my goal is for them to never vote again, which is basically where I am.

But yes, I think people will be surprised when large swaths of Gen Z end up being even more hardcore right than anything in America in the last 70 years.

Not, saying they're not racist but using dog whistles and being racist in secret with each other like people think of conservatives now. I mean they will be racist and not give a fuck.
