  1. A smarter party would have recalibrated and sought to either improve their ideals so that they're more popular or abandoned them in favor of ones that are more sustainable. I have faith that, with enough defeats, they'll inevitably come to this conclusion.

  2. The Republican party have become lazy thinkers. There are conservative arguments that agree with a lot, maybe even all of what progressives are pushing, but they don't want to have to rethink their positions. They're the sort to sit down to a game of Monopoly and then suggest rules that favor them and swipe Monopoly Bucks when no one is looking instead of learning how to play the game and develop better strategies to win.

  3. Funny thing is, there are conservative arguments for every possible conclusion. There's a conservative argument in favor of embracing green energy, for accepting abortion, for accepting people of color, of immigration, of everything the progressive left is pushing. They're just to intellectually lazy to understand or accept them. Too many think Ayn Rand was a brilliant person instead of the philosopher-in-chief of the intellectually and morally bankrupt.
