How will young conservatives grapple with the fact that they are outnumbered?

Most young people today and in the future are:
-Majority nonwhite
-Antisemitic
-Antiwhite (Even young whites are)
-Anti-Police
-Don't care for the nostalgia of the military (aren't into Vets' Day, Memorial Day or other "imperialist, capitalist" holidays
-Are NOT Proud to be American
-View America and West as racist
-Views white women as Emmit Till killers/Karens
-Views White men as enemy or racist
A Rudy Giuliani type would never get elected to city office in places like NYC, etc. today or in the future....
Trump has a special appeal to young people, but the Nikki Haleys or Chris Sununus or Ron DeSantises of the world? Forget it.
This generation is the most leftwing generation in world history........how are young white conservatives going to grapple with that?

People grow up and tend to get more conservative when they start to earn a paycheck

Are they though? I'm seeing countless reports that they are more conservative than their parents.

By populists?
Good question. I feel for them. Every time I visit this board.

I see and interact with young conservatives pretty frequently and, by and large, they are very comfortable in their skin and with their opinions.
In general, they are better educated than their peers, often homeschooled or private schooled, very secure in their opinions, able to play the game (such as the game on liberal college campuses) so they can achieve their goals, very articulate and armed with logical, informed arguments and less and less willing to take any bs.
They choose their friends carefully and vet them to insure they share a similar philosophy. Demographics is much less important to them as long as the peers share their conservative values and outlook.

I think the percentage of young people that are anti-communist and anti-big government are higher than you think. Even many of the young latino's don't like Democrats either. You only think its high percentage because of what you see in the media, but we already know they show what they want you to see and don't really cover the facts.

I'm sure people had this same view in the 70s. Then Ronald Reagan was elected in a monumental landslide.

Sit back and watch it all burn.
What else can I do?

Wrong. Gamergate proved that. As a father of an 18 year old son, I can assure they are all laughing at your arse.
Your statement is probably 100 % opposite.

What gives me comfort is that those types aren’t having kids, while conservative families are. Combine this with the shift towards homeschooling and private school vouchers and I would argue that the youths of the future would trend right, not left.

Tomi Lahren was making this exact same argument last night on Fox News, that is, young people are left of center and the future is bleak.
People were probably saying the exact same thing back in 1968. My father was a young Dem back then. He is now the most conservative person I know.

Just because the MSM tries to make it a reality doesn’t mean it is. Conservatives by far outnumber liberals.

I was the first conservative Republican in my family. My family made fun of me. But now I make the big stacks.

I thought they were all going to move to that new land of unbridled freedom and opportunity:

They've been outnumbered for a while, but systemic advantages (e.g. gerrymandering, deference to a corrupt SCOTUS) have ensured that the far right still occupies outsized political power in this country.

Grow a pair
Posted on 4/30/24 at 3:00 pm to Green Eggs 88
I grapple by remembering that I am smarter and better than those losers.

I'll have to check back with a source but I just read a study this week stating that Gen Z is the most conservative generation since the 1980s
