Conservatism is dead. Millennials are deserting the GOP. Its time to update your approach: Thats not a question. But it brings up two questions.

 

First: Since when have people under thirty ever been Republicans or conservatives? Good lord, Im almost as sick of hearing society has to jump to the wishes of Millennials as I am about Baby Boomers.

 

Second: Why? One of conservatisms beliefs is that new ideas face a fairly stern burden of proof. Which isnt sexy for, say, marketers to try to sell, and its not something young people are disposed to believe, but its true. So put your new ideas out there, and lets debate! The kicker is, ideas in the world of society and politics are like pop music; there really are no new ideas. Theyve all been around for a while, and most of them are untried for a reason. Which isnt to say that something new, or a new take on something old, isnt possible; its just that you need to make the sale.

 

Can you make the sale?

 

There is no difference between Republicans and Democrats!: Again, mostly statements, not really questions, here. But if that were true, wouldnt at least one Republican have voted for Obamcare?
