Do demographic trends favor conservatives over liberals, in the long run?

Statistically, conservatives are likely to have slightly larger families ( more children ) than liberals, if I am correct - which also includes the fact that conservatives are less likely than liberals to have abortions.


Also, in general, children are slightly more likely to follow in the footsteps of their parents' beliefs, than to reject them.


If immigration and other factors are not included, does this mean that the demographic trends favor conservatives in America, in the long run, over liberals?
 
Also statistically, minorities have more kids more often. They may not be traditional married families, but there these kids are.

Factoring out immigration is a mistake, it is a dominant trend, especially with Hispanics, so dominant that Hispanics are projtected to be the majority in 40 years time.

I don't think you can state conclusively that demographic trends favor conservatives.
 
You are likely incorrect about the family thing. Every single minority has a higher birth rate then whites, and minorities are highly likely to be liberal.

Over time, even ignoring immigration, conservatism as it is defined now will become extinct. It is largely only hanging on now because the conservative base is consistantly able to maintain a high voter turnout, while liberals could largely care less about most elections.

The whole US political spectrum will likely shift to the left to more resemble the spectrums found in Europe by 2050.
 
By eliminating or glossing over all "demographic trends" that don't favor conservatives, you're simply asking a loaded question.

So yes, if conservatives have more babies who turn out to be conservatives, there will be more conservatives.
 
Yes, core American values will always trump being politically correct.

Edit: Puzzler, wheres the proof of your horseshit statement?

No. Hispanics are the ace in the hole. This is why Democrats are for Hispanics.

Also, conservative children vote liberal 3:2 probably because of overbearing parents.

Also, the corporate raiding of government will have the people rise up and otherthrow the republicans. We have seen that in 2008.
 
No, demographic trends, at the moment, are more overwhelmed by the aging population. That demographic will be best assisted by the liberals, and that trend will continue with immigration as it is right now. Also, the economic trends following economic "turmoil" tend to make people a little timid to jump back in to the free market. So demographically and economically, the trends are there for the liberals. However, the next 6 years we'll see momentum pick up for conservatives.
 
It always has been. The only way Liberals get into power here is by tricking people into thinking they are moderates. Then little by little, they pass stuff that sends this country down a European Socialist path.
