A few quick thoughts on the future of conservatism and on how to replicate the success of this election for future generations of Republicans.
1. Identity Politics - The future racial demographics of the United States shows the white population will be less than 50% by 2050. Whether we like it or not, ethnic and racial diversity will need to be considered by future administrations. I believe that the Trump/Vance will be the last white male president/vice president combo elected. Additionally, more than 50% of US voters are women. The Republican Party must make an effort to have a more prominent role for women in the future.
2. Isolationism - I believe that America needs to stay out of international affairs as much as possible with the exception of self-defense, trade and humanitarianism.
3. Libertarianism - I believe we should emphasize individual autonomy and freedom—even if we don’t necessarily religiously agree with some of the principles involved.
4. Jimmy Carter’s Moral Compass - I believe future administrations should put a sharper focus on the inclusion of human rights in foreign policy. This focus not only serves to help maintain peace, but also leads to more normalized diplomatic free trade abroad.
The Trump Economy - Made in America. I think future administrations should emphasize a strong shift in keeping production in America by imposing exorbitant tariffs on products made overseas, and also cutting corporate taxes in the United States.
