Politically active youth that the GOP wishes they had (sub-35 or so) are largely Libertarian.
Er, not so much. Marrieds, more likely. Singles, not so much. Single women even less so.
Given the political demography data I have seen, socially conservative folk are more likely to hold classically liberal political philosophies than any randomly selected person under age 35. (Statistically speaking, a greater correlation between social conservatism & classical liberalism than between the general population & classical liberalism.)
Actually, I think, at this point, we will ALL be in "gangs" in the America that is coming, and maybe that's just the way it has to be, neither good nor bad.
"In multiracial societies, you don't vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion."
----Lee Kuan Yew, first PM of Singapore
That paradigm is what is at work with
all racial groups in America, save one. The problem with third-world immigration and tolerating race-based political organizations is it allows for a critical mass to form and Lee Kuan Yew's statement to come true. Future opposition to the final (rather obvious) development will be opposed in terms of "racism," but
the real concern will be how the political spoils are divided once 100% of what was America gets with LKY's program.
That ^^^ is at the national level. LKY is already in effect at the local level in the more, ah, "vibrant" metro areas.
I see this occurring in real time in Dallas, where the Big Three are the mexicans, blacks, and whites. The last couple decades, the white & black coalition has been teamed up against the mexicans.
1. The whites(1) get control of downtown development all the way up north, to include most business ordinances. They play the part of the goose/golden egg and essentially want to be left alone enough to do business.
2. Blacks control the rest of the city (territory-wise).
3. Blacks get most the political patronage jobs.
4. Self-proclaimed black leaders get HUGE cash infusions by white political machines. HUGE.
5. White politicians vote along with all blacks regarding anything in the black controlled areas. This results in massive corruption in city gov't, very rich black politicians, and large corruption scandals every 10-15 years in the black political class.
6. Mexicans punch below their weight (population-wise) due to many of them being illegal and being shut out by the B/W coalition.
[The quickest way to get a handle on this is to study the career of John Wiley Price. A great place to start is the local alternative newspaper the Dallas Observer & Jim Schutz's writings.]
Does all that ^^^ make you feel uncomfortable? Grow up, that is sausage being made, that is reality in the big city.
That is what is coming to America as a whole.(1) White in this context means "affluent whites." Poor white trash, working class, and lower middle class whites are SOL and don't get a say in Dallas City/County gov't. Like many of America's metro areas, the working & middle classes have been squeezed out into the suburbs.
To sum up: culture and demography.
Let either one get out of whack and classical liberalism has no chance.
