You should realize by now that Republicans don't think about the future.
I agree 100% with your post. If you look at the demographics, in every election since Bill Clinton, young voters began to trend bluer and bluer, as each election went by, peaking so far with Obama. The Republicans have to realise that this generation WILL grow up one day and WILL be in power, and since this statistic is voting blue in greater numbers in every election since Clinton, the Republicans are setting themselves up for disaster.
They are going to be the grumpy ol' white man party. They will have lost the youth & minority vote, then the youth grows up, and then they are just a party of stodgy old men. A fringe, a shadow of it's former-self.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
