I Don’t See the GOP Lasting…

The G.O.P. Party will not last—at least not in its current composition.

Of course, this is not news. This is not even noteworthy. All I am really saying is that history is repeating itself.

The Republican Party has been devastated by every major cultural advancement in our nation’s history. From slavery and suffrage, to environmentalism and civil rights, the G.O.P. rarely manages to hold its stuff together when the times around them are changing.

Of course, that is not to say that Democrats haven’t changed over the years, but they certainly haven’t been as direly affected by the cultural shifts as Republicans have. Being tied to liberalism gives the Democrats some advantage in changing with the times and moving on to a much more inclusive future.
