When I was a little kid in China, Ronald Reagan was my American Hero. I learned that he's the leader of free world before I understood what freedom was. From then my heart always belongs to conservatism. Nothing hurts me more than seeing my childhood hero's party can no longer win a national election. How did this happen?
Is it stupidity? People as selective groups don't think or vote for their interest. Farmers who receive more government subsidy than any other people, yet they are predominantly. Cilicon Valley is full of free market economy beneficiaries but it's Democratic Party's strong base.
It's not the only irony in the country. In 1996 the GOP wanted health care but the Democratic Party didn't, now they have switched sides. Reagan's name has never been more sacred today, but Republicans now are using anything to fight against amnesty which Reagan fought for in 1986. Meanwhile the Democrats have changed their view from against to support amnesty. This list can go on and on.
When both parties share the same level of stupidity, there are signs suggest something is going on beyond stupidity. In the recent 2 elections 3 swing states have turned blue, youth and females are leaning towards the Democratic Party than ever before, Asians and Hispanics who share the same values as traditional GOP voters now are predominatly Democrats. ,more and more conservatives now identify themselves as independents. These things are screeming one sentence: the GOP has no future if it doesn't change!
So what's wrong?
First, the GOP successfully changed last presidential election's topic from economy to gay marriage and abortion. It almost seemed like the GOP couldn't care less about the worst recession since the Great Depression because they wanted to manage people's bedroom activities.
Second, the GOP supported the Arizona ID law but opposed background check for all firearm purchases. In what universe it makes sense when guns have more rights than humans?
Third, well, ain't those two crazy enought for you? Ok then. How about claimming to deport 11 million illegal immigrants? Different people have different views so don't waste time to talk about the cause of illegal immigration or the effect of it. Just think this way: how's that possible to catch 11 million people?
The craziness of the GOP and some of its strong supporters is the tie breaker. Because of this, the election is no longer between two dummies but between a retard a lunatic. When it's between to retards people actually spend time try to find a less stupid one, but between a retard and a lunatic is always a no brainer: you never wanna let a bunch of maniacs take control of the country.
