The republicans are not obsolete due to technology or lack thereof. Their ideas are no longer hidden, They pissed off women, hispanics, educators, union members, the poor, the old etc. To sell your message or to generate money from multiple sources you need an attractive message. For the vast majority of our people they had none. Their only selling points were 1. An evil lazy black is going to get you after he takes your guns and closes your dirty coal mines 2. Your daddy always voted republican. Without these wonderful (sarcasm) messages they would not have gotten 15 percent of the vote.
In fact there is no ideology holding the republicans together. They are simply the benefactors of racism and parental voting patterns being handed down. A brain is a horrible thing to waste- were they talking about those who vote republican??
