They’re shifting left because that’s where the new center is.

We blew the center-right moment. Nixon first got it, and he screwed up with Watergate. Then Reagan gave us a second shot, and sure he might have made some short term gains, but look where we are now.

The left has demographics, academia, and the media. Conservatives are older, and dying off as time progresses.

Young Millennials like me aren’t religious, or social conservatives either. Being so will probably put me to the far-right as time goes by.

The Reagan coalition is broken, and short of a miracle, the new coalition that is going to emerge will NOT favor us.

What will happen is that you and your generation will grow up and put aside the ignorance of youth.
