With Millenials overwhelmingly in favor of gay marriage will they forgive Republicans for opposing gay marriage so strongly in the present time. And when Republicans eventually come out in favor of gay marriage (which they will purely due to electoral math) will they look beyond their previous opposition to it or is it something the Republicans will live with for a generation?
I know A LOT of millenials who are opposed to gay marriage. And most Democrats used to be against gay marriage-including Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
Fiscal conservatism has far more appeal, but it needs to be combined with socially moderate viewpoints, or it goes down, in national elections, with social conservatism.
What is moderate about pretending two guys pounding each other's pooper is essentially the same as a normal sexual relationship between a man and a woman?
That's not moderate and it's not what voters care about.
The GOP needs to grow a pair and take the lead in abolishing all state sanctioned personal relationships, but let's not get confused about why Republicans lose elections.
Republicans lose elections because the Republicans in question are corporate whores who make big tax cuts for billionaires the center piece of their campaigns while Democrats shamelessly buy votes with Bridge Cards and free phones.
As long as Democrats are able to keep the economy in the sh*tter with near-zero interest rates and a hopelessly weak dollar, they'll be a position to buy votes and win big while the corporate ***** RINOs square off with the true conservatives that represent the only alternative to government of the government, by the government and for the government.
Voters aren't p*ssed off about same-sex mariage.
They're p*ssed off about not having an alternative to the same self-serving blow-hards that have been in DC for decades.
They want government to start representing their interest again.
Not all millennials are for gay marriage, though more than older folks. I don't know about forgive, they just won't vote for Republicans when the views are diametrically opposed.
People who support gay marriage do so because they support notion that everyone should be able to marry whomever they please . Other than that gay marriage does not affect their lives, it only impacts lives of LGBT folks.
Watching the Obama administration mess up our country one day at a time makes you wonder how anybody can forgive Democrats.
Hopefully their memories arent so short that they cant forget what the Tea Party and Republicans gave us with two wars costing 3 trillion, the housing bubble, and a total collapse of the economy where they were left holding the bag while the Tea Party types started collecting their government benefits and complaining about them.

Forgive them for what? Having a different opinion from those who are gay and want to be married?
That is a bit one sided isn't it to say that one group should forgive another group for their opinion.
I don't like mushrooms so I should forgive those who do like mushrooms for liking mushrooms or they should forgive me for not liking mushrooms?
The entire idea is way too politically correct simply because humans will always have opinions about things that are different than others opinion about the same thing.

This whole thread is stupid.
Calm it there, you seem too fired up.
