ah, killing your own arguments, i see

I call myself a liberal, a democrat, a left-winger and so on, mainly because I agree with many of their policies. Humanism, secularism, basically science, progress, being a decent human being, or at least helping the world while you help yourself.

Now, the point is, if left-wingers cease to support abortion, or example, and started campaigning for abortion to be made illegal, I would no longer align myself with them. It's very simple, I support the side that has the same views that I do.

But that's actually not the only reason. A very small part of it is the fact that democrats have good PR. Take Obama, who's photogenic, likable, etc. He's basically the poster boy - even if he has no idea how to rule a country, or how to make policies, he'd still get quite far in the elections, just because he's well-spoken and looks good.

Because the party is likable, that's why you're able to accept them and align yourself with them. Because they don't turn you off immediately, that's why the potential for you to like them exists. 

Now, on to the conservatives, who seem to be killing themselves off. I don't hate them just because I'm liberal and they're conservative, in fact I think there's good bits in conservatism too. However...

Conservatives seem to be mainly Christian, and they promote religion. This basically puts off people of other religions (aka non-Christians) and reduces their support. This is a very stupid thing for a political party to do, especially since America's very diverse, and we're all getting less religious these days. In other words, this is suicide.

Also, conservatives seem intent on embarrassing themselves, for example Ann Coulter, who apparently walked out on Star Trek, saying that there are too many minorities. This racism is putting off everyone who isn't pro-white, i.e. a whole lot of America. Again, it's a diverse country, and were only going to get more diverse, so this is also akin to suicide.

Conservatism seems to be dying, not because it isn't keeping up with the culture these days, but because it can't keep up with modern culture. Let me explain.

Here we have conservatism,

a political or theological orientation advocating the preservation of the best in society and opposing radical changes.

which preserves good things and opposes radical change. But to be honest, there aren't many good things in history. Are we to preserve slavery? Or racism? Or misogyny? Good things that are worth preserving, like art and architecture, are already being preserved, by both liberals and conservatives.

To sum it up, we are effectively outpacing conservatism. Society as a whole is changing. Ann Coulter's racism, which might have accepted in the past, is definitely not accepted now. Their image right now is a bunch ofold white men, opposing equality. It doesn't matter if that's an accurate image, the reality is that a lot of people think they're outdated.

Basically, anything that conservatives do right now are mildly embarrassing. Announcing your racism? Refusing to accept other religions or lack of religion? Secondhand embarrassment.

It's actually not their fault, because that's what their party stands for. Preserving the best in society and opposing radical changes. Doing what they're doing is being a good conservative. We should actually applaud them for staying so true to their values, and this isn't sarcasm. 

But reality doesn't stay stagnant. The changes have rendered conservative values outdated. That's why their public image is so bad right now, compared to liberals. To dumb it down to an extreme, conservatism is out, liberalism is in.

The only way for conservatism to gain back their former popularity, followers, and supporters is to change their core values. They have to understand that racism, misogyny, and so on, are not things worth preserving. They have to promote equality along with liberals, while still preserving worthy parts of history. They have to change their job from opposing all changes, to opposing radical changes. 

These days I see conservatism dying a slow, painful death, and that's actually quite a shame, because it will leave the American political scene very unbalanced. The future generation of voters overwhelmingly side with democrats/liberals, which will probably give them an unfair advantage. We can't ever allow a single party to dictate everything, we need a balance of voices.

But when those voices kill their own potential by failing to communicate with the people, those voices lose their effectiveness and power. Conservatism is killing itself right now, and it needs to stop that. 

Just as slavery was killed eventually, the GOP will be killed eventually. The difference is that slavery was built on oppression, while the right-wing was built on preservation and caution. That's what they need to do, instead of embarrassing themselves with stupid little incidents that make them look like outdated fools. Caution instead of outright refusal. 

Bottom line is that the GOP can't win by appealing to their usual demographic anymore. They'll soon be phased out like old iPhone models if they continue like this, and that's actually pretty bad for everyone, not just theGOP. They need to change.
