MSNBC panel cheers: Old conservatives will ‘thankfully die off’ soon
By Bradford Richardson - The Washington Times - Wednesday, March 7, 2018

A panel on MSNBC cheered the imminent demise of “old, kind of crusty” conservatives who support the Second Amendment and prevent young people from enacting gun control measures.

Sunday on “AM Joy,” news anchor Joy Reid described conservatism as a “creepy, weird worldview” that “young people, who are a big, big cohort of the American population, do not share.”

She asked her panel: “At some point, does the conservative media run out of viewers?”

Kurt Bardella, a columnist for the Huffington Post, responded that there is “credence to the idea” that old conservatives, “through the process of evolution,” will “thankfully die off, and that will be the end of that.”

And these idiots will be the first one to pee on the graves of the dead as well.

They seem to forget that "old Liberals" die too.

Sander, Clinton, the Democrats weren't really running spring chickens for President, add Biden to that list as well though, he didn't run. Pretty horrible to ever have a Prez Kamala Harris, etc.

[txradioguy]

Come to think of it there's more than a few so called "Conservatives" that will line up to cheer the passing of whats left of the true Conservatives in the House and Senate as well when the time comes.

[skeeter]

What an utterly moronic theory. As if a conservative worldview hasn't been around, and won't continue to be around, as long as mankind exists.

Whats surprising is this brainstem Reid managed to refrain from equating conservative with white, which is what she meant.

[jpsb]

That Joy Reid person is a really nasty piece of work. And a hard core racist too.

Liberals always project their fantasies as reality. And their fantasies are a reality in a way. It is a bubble reality that only exists in their warped brains. It is a reality to them, but no one else.

If they want to talk about age they should look at their own Party first. The Democrat party is led by some of the most senior White people on the planet. Once the Dems start dropping, it is going to be an avalanche. The chart below shows the AVERAGE age by Party as it was five years ago. It is probably even worse for the Dems now in 2018.

As much as I can't stand the Roe decision and wish it would be overturned sooner than later...it does have the unintended consequence of thinning the Democratic gene pool of potential future Liberal politicians LOL!

People have been saying conservatives will die off the past 100+ years, even in Britain the lefties will have you think that.

The simple fact is, the older a person gets, the more conservative a person becomes.

You go through the non-working, college life, not paying the high taxes years and then when you make the good coin you start to wonder why all your money is being taken away, then you start to dislike the dole bludgers, the immigrants, the high taxes etc and then you become conservative     

 it is the circle of life and has been for decades. won't stop anytime soon - not matter how much they would love it!

'Old conservatives will ‘thankfully die off’ soon'

And if not naturally, they and their kind will 'help us get there' sooner.

So this brings up a (very slightly) related issue, just thinking about all of the ways the large Baby Boomer population affects the US.  We tend to look at many of our funding priorities as, how will they change as the Boomers age and die.  Social security, Medicare, etc., all are feeling the pinch of this aging population.

Yeah, but in case they haven't noticed.... there's a helluva lot more OLDer Democrats.  And we're in much better physical shape than they are.... (no drugs, alcoholism, etc.)...

and we are VERY well-armed.

Bring it.

[LMAO]

 When someone says that they are a liberal what they mean is they are liberal with someone else’s property  and money

When it comes to our own interests, everybody’s a conservative

I don't think Boomers are immune to the effects @Stevensr123 describes above, relating to how positions change over time due to the relative wealth of the individual.  As people move to the higher cash-flow part of life, the prime income producing part, the more likely they are to become more careful with their expenditures.  They become more likely to "conserve," for want of a better term.

Oh no! A no rating hack on a laughing stock channel said outrageously stupid things so she can get the Right Wingers to promote what would never be seen by cable viewers at large.

Is the dumb one here Joyless Reid or the people getting the vapors over the comments?

Is "laughing hysterically" the same thing as "getting the vapors?"  Asking for a friend....

The problem with that is that the young "liberals" who replace the old ones lean further and further to the left -- to outright communism.

The original premise -- of "old conservatives" dying off -- is actually a sound one.
Will there be enough younger conservatives sprouting to regenerate the forest?

Unfortunately, I think not.
I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong.
Only time will tell.

But... time (and demographics) change everything.
What was the percentage of young whites vis-a-vis young Hispanics in Texas 30 years ago?
What is that percentage TODAY?

But as I pointed out too this is one instance where abortion on demand works in the GOP's favor.

How many Hispanics -- particularly illegal Hispanics -- abort?

Except we have way more kids than they do... And as a rule, after rebellion and college, once they have a mortgage and a passel of kids, our kids come back around to knowing that their mammas and daddies taught em the truth.

I don't think it's as accepted in Mexican and Central American cultures. 

[240B]

Exactly. That's my whole point. Much, almost all, of what modern Democrats stand for, all the perversions and 'trans' this or that, is diametrically opposed to Mexican/Latino/Hispanic culture. These old White Democrats think that they have the Latino vote secured. I do not believe this is true.


Illegals will vote for the perverts in the short term for benefits. But once they become stable and normalized, they will realize what the Democrats really are at their core. When this happens the Latinos will either vote for one of their own people running as a candidate, or they will not vote at all, or maybe possibly they will vote Republican.


The Democrat Party as it is today support things which are the exact opposite of what most Latinos believe in. The American Blacks have consistently voted for these current old White pervert hippies to represent them for decade after decade. I do not believe the Latino/Hispanic people will follow this model.
