GOP politician : The younger generation isn't voting for us!
GOP strategist: We need to make fun of their beliefs and concerns more!
The actual strategists have long since left or are in an alcohol induced stupor. The "strategists" remaining are true believers that are horrible at strategy.
And yet the current strategy continues to ensnare young and old people alike. I think you need to reconsider that the wolfs are in the henhouse and things are going according to plan.
They barely took the House, lost a Senate seat, and lost significant state seats in the first midterm against a president with a trifecta and a rocky economy. Abortion has become a gigantic millstone around their neck, and they can't figure out what to do with it. Their excuse for strategists aren't being listened to.
That was at the end of a redistricting cycle, in a Senate year favorable to Dems. Next election will be more difficult.
GOP have gerrymandered their way into a majority in the House, the Senate is pre-gerrymandered for them (because establishment Dems visibly abandoned the working class during and after NAFTA), and they don't even pretend to expect to get a straight popular majority in any upcoming Presidential elections.
They've abandoned democracy. They know they can't get a majority of popular votes in a straight-up count, and they know they don't need to. All they need to do is continue ratfucking the system and keep a strategic fringe endlessly outraged, and they're set.
The GOP pushed their message so hard now the cart is leading the horse and there's nothing they're willing to do to stop it.
