People can get mad about it all they want, and start going off on an unrelated rant about the leftists.
But the demographic shifts in the Republican Party, regarding who they have lost and who they have gained, as highlighted by the OP and the article in the link they provided, are very real.
The conservative movement is an utter failure. In 100+ years of its existence, it has not conserved anything.
They are the antithesis of what they believe.
Culture is commercialized by multinational corporations, traditions are ignored in favor of progress, landmarks are destroyed by real-estate investors, all in the name of the free markets.
The MAGA movement is shrinking, Trump is having trouble getting people to attend his rallies.
LOL, Trump can pack the house better and fuller than the current POTUS, who is routinely mocked, ridiculed and laughed at by the world.

Trumpism is a movement that scares the pants off lefties. They have no defense against it. That's why they have to cheat to defeat it, as Tucker Carlson recently pointed out.
In all seriousness, large corporations are mostly woke. The Republicans need to out-Democrat the Democrats and tax the heck out of them while demanding lower taxes for small and midsized companies including start ups.
Conservatism isn't collapsing, there is simply no voice, calling in the wilderness for people to follow. Conservatism reached its apex with Reagan because he had a clear vision and incredible communications skills. George HW was never a true believer, he was a very nice man, who was a classic Yale Republican. George W was more conservative and more folksy because of his Texas roots.
If Ted Cruz could be less abrasive, more amiable, more charismatic.... his philosophy isn't far off Reagan's, but he is utterly lacking in personal warmth or sincerity. Mike Pence is a great man, but it devoid of a personality or any dynamism.
If anyone could puck up Reagan's mantle, it might be Nicki Haley.
If Kristi Noem wants to be a player, she needs to start doing a lot of national TV, getting out of SD to deliver speeches to tough audiences and get some seasoning by fire.
Reagan was a great man but if both were alive and I had to pick one, I would pick Trump. He understood things Reagan (and anyone else for that matter) did and do not.

Until you factor in the biased media which constantly misrepresents the facts to the American people.
