I'm moving there and having 18 reptile children. Each of them will have 18 as well, and I will indoctrinate them all regarding politics and the value of having lots of kids. When my grandkids each have 18 kids, that will be 5,832 new reptiles. I will still be alive while the first 5,496 of my great grandkids are born, and I will memorize all their names and be able to call them by name easily.

This is kind of dumb. The two-party platform will to shift in non-linear ways as latinos fill a larger part of the electorate, so we probably don't even understand the impact they'll have in twenty years. You don't really know what you're bragging about.

yeah it was an awkward term, i just mean that the two-party divide doesn't just move back and forth on a sliding scale of lib-rep. new issues are introduced and old ones reimagined which change the scale itself, usually in a statist/non-statist kind of way.

wouldn't it be great if we didn't have the fucking retarded two-party system and could actually introduce new issues on a regular basis without waiting for the national libtard or reptile party apparatus to pick them up?
granted, I'm sure other political systems have their own problems, but it seems like pretty much anything would be better than what we have now.

yes. ows/lgbt and teatards should be fringe parties mewling for the attention of a center-right coalition, not the anchors of our national fucking policies.

You nay be right, I should have said that the current GOP will cease to exist in its present form. It is possible that a "Republican" party will be popular

that's probably right but a pretty easy argument to make. i think the op was really saying that a majority of Texans will vote for liberal candidates in 20 years, which is more difficult.

texas hispanics are actually notably more conservative than hispanics in the rest of the country. also texas whites have higher birthrates than coastal lib whites. I think texas reptiles will be fine for the foreseeable future.

it depends on how the whites vote.
california would still be a solidly red state if cali whites voted like whites in oklahoma or event texas itself. texas actually needs to keep its white percentage of GOP voters higher than cali because texas has twice the percentage of blacks.

it depends on how whites continue to vote. the GOP's model is unfortunately going to have to be mississippi, which has 88% white GOP support and good turnout during elections.
