It's an interesting wager that more people hate than not. I don't think it's compatible with the upcoming generations' perspectives, which is why I assume they are investing so much into radicalizing children on social media. More soldiers for the culture war.

People in general? Probably not.

Republicans? Definitely.

Bullseye.

I agree. Sadly, if conservatives achieve a win-condition this November, it won't matter at all what younger people think. And it never will again.

This article is giving them too much credit, frankly. Saying Republican support dropped from "majority to minority" is misleading, bordering on clickbait.

All that happened was support dropped from 55% to 46%. They were only ever barely a majority.

Saying "Nearly half" or "over half" of all Republicans don't support gay marriage is splitting hairs. They all support the candidates that are against it.

The real story here is that even support among Democrats and Independents dropped a bit in the last 2 years. Meaning the fear mongering is pervasive enough to affect everyone.

This idea of conservative support is so fucking annoying. Its like, great, assholes, nobody gives a flying fuck.
