    Since liberals are more likely to be gay, abort, or not have children the demographics would have to skew over time.
    It doesn't work like that though because culture and political opinions aren't genetic. The views of peers has a lot more influence on kids than the views of their parents do. And education and the internet allow kids to form their own views. Conservatives can have all the kids they like, and those kids will grow up to hold liberal views. That's why your/D.E.'s victory through outbreeding view is just a non-starter - social effects are liberalizing kids across the world at a much faster rate than the difference in birth rates between libs and conservatives or 1st and 3rd world. If you read a bit of sociological/anthropological literature about why that is and what effects cause societies to become liberal, you'll realize the trend toward liberalization is a product of economic development and is only going to increase as the 3rd world countries develop economically - as they catch up towards the Western world economically the exact same effects that made the West become socially liberal will come into play in the 3rd world countries and make them socially liberal.

      Many arab countries are developed to 1st world levels and remain some of the most conservative places on earth, so that is complete BS.

        Religious fundamentalism is a debilitating condition that delays normal progress. However, over time it will gradually decline. We've seen Iran gradually move toward being a saner nation as the religious fundamentalists gradually lose their hold on power there.

          No, you're completely nuts. Iran used to look like a western country, until the mullahs took power. Radical islam > liberalism, just about everywhere. See also Turkey, another previously liberal country where the Muslims outbred the liberal degenerates (but I repeat myself) and are successfully stripping them of power.

          Liberalism does not spread because it's a natural consequence of development, it spreads because it's a disease that got lucky and found a host with no antibodies (western white people).

            Do you know why the mullahs took power in Iran? Iran was a democracy, but the Iranian democratic government committed the grievous sin of thinking that oil profits should go to the Iranian people and not US corporate oil interests, so in 1953 the US overthrew the Iranian democracy and replaced it with a military dictator who was friendly to the US. Go the US, gotta love that freedom! (The US tried to do much the same thing in Nicaragua, supporting the dictator Batista, and then after his ousting supporting terrorists loyal to him, rather than a democratic government)

            The Iranian people were understandable rather peeved and sought to overthrow the US-imposed dictator. For pragmatic reasons the various groups trying to overthrow the dictator teamed up, and some of the more zealous religious nuts ended up in charge, so when they overthrew the dictator they put in a theocracy in 1979. The majority in Iran doesn't really support such a theocracy though, so over time the country has gradually backed off the theocracy and is now almost completely back to normal democracy where it was before the US interfered in the first place.

              It doesn't matter how or why, there's always an excuse for why it just so happens that Islam always beats liberalism like a rented mule, contra your assertions to the contrary

              so over time the country has gradually backed off the theocracy and is now almost completely back to normal democracy where it was before the US interfered in the first place.
              lol iran bans women from watching male voleyball games and many of their universities recently banned female students from enrolling in some courses, and this happened in the last few years, not in 1980. This is an absurd comment on so many levels

                  I'd guess that he'd prefer Islam, but only because Muslims are less destructive than liberals.
                  Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

                    For me personally liberalism is better but for humanity there's no question that islam (and just about anything else) is better.

                      Last year was the first presidential election in which Generation Z voted, according to Brauer, “yet there was virtually no attention paid to this demographic.”
                      Brauer explains that, from 2012 to 2016, Democratic candidates lost 5 percent of the youth vote nationally (down from 60 percent to 55 percent). In Florida, Democrats’ margin of victory among the young dropped 16 percentage points. In both Ohio and Pennsylvania, the drop was 19 points. In Wisconsin, 20 points. “It is unlikely that such significant drops were simply due to the more liberal millennial generation changing their minds from one election to the next,” said Brauer.

                      “It is much more likely the precipitous drops were due to the more conservative Generation Z being able, for the first time, to express their political inclinations, especially in the economically hard-hit swing states.”Therefore, Generation Z possibly had a major, yet completely overlooked, impact in this historic election. “Generation Z voters were likely attracted to Trump because of his strong stances on national security and economic recovery — the main concerns of that generation,” said Brauer.

                      “This generation is different, and they are about to have a profound impact on commerce, politics and trends,” Brauer concludes. “If politicians and business leaders aren’t paying attention yet, they better, because they are about to change the world.

                              Kids on D.C. tours now shout the term at Johnson when she’s recording a standup in front of the Capitol. Coppins has been the target of crude epithets, physical projectiles, and online vitriol—like a photoshopped image of him in a gas chamber. BYU journalism instructor Carrie Ashton Moore (BA ’82) notes, “I saw a shirt just the other day that said, ‘Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.’”
