How will young conservatives grapple with the fact that they are outnumbered?

Most young people today and in the future are:
-Majority nonwhite
-Antisemitic
-Antiwhite (Even young whites are)
-Anti-Police
-Don't care for the nostalgia of the military (aren't into Vets' Day, Memorial Day or other "imperialist, capitalist" holidays
-Are NOT Proud to be American
-View America and West as racist
-Views white women as Emmit Till killers/Karens
-Views White men as enemy or racist
A Rudy Giuliani type would never get elected to city office in places like NYC, etc. today or in the future....
Trump has a special appeal to young people, but the Nikki Haleys or Chris Sununus or Ron DeSantises of the world? Forget it.
This generation is the most leftwing generation in world history........how are young white conservatives going to grapple with that?

People grow up and tend to get more conservative when they start to earn a paycheck

Are they though? I'm seeing countless reports that they are more conservative than their parents.

I don't really think this is the case anymore.

Good question. I feel for them. Every time I visit this board.

Any parent that has a boy that plays video games would know this.

You sure about that?
Look at Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, they are in their 40s and 50s and look at them.

I see and interact with young conservatives pretty frequently and, by and large, they are very comfortable in their skin and with their opinions.
In general, they are better educated than their peers, often homeschooled or private schooled, very secure in their opinions, able to play the game (such as the game on liberal college campuses) so they can achieve their goals, very articulate and armed with logical, informed arguments and less and less willing to take any bs.
They choose their friends carefully and vet them to insure they share a similar philosophy. Demographics is much less important to them as long as the peers share their conservative values and outlook.

the executive and judicial will be functionally one branch with a permanent majority of govt power once they retake the SC, which is just a matter of time. and then it's all over but the crying.

I think the percentage of young people that are anti-communist and anti-big government are higher than you think. Even many of the young latino's don't like Democrats either. You only think its high percentage because of what you see in the media, but we already know they show what they want you to see and don't really cover the facts.

I'm sure people had this same view in the 70s. Then Ronald Reagan was elected in a monumental landslide.

Sit back and watch it all burn.
What else can I do?

Wrong. Gamergate proved that. As a father of an 18 year old son, I can assure they are all laughing at your arse.
Your statement is probably 100 % opposite.

the difference in the 70s was that the Left, for the most part, still believed in America and American values. half the country now literally thinks America is an evil country.

What gives me comfort is that those types aren’t having kids, while conservative families are. Combine this with the shift towards homeschooling and private school vouchers and I would argue that the youths of the future would trend right, not left.

i've been hearing "this next generation is the most conservative since...xyz" for two decades now. magically none of it ever manifests itself with a huge conservative upswing. i'm glad your 18 year old son and his video game friends are conservatives, but they are in the minority.

A Ronald Reagan type is not getting elected anytime soon, not with the demographics of the country today.
Boomers and Gen X fit Reagan's demo well in 1976, 1980 and 1984....helping the Bushes in '88, '00 and '04.

Tomi Lahren was making this exact same argument last night on Fox News, that is, young people are left of center and the future is bleak.
People were probably saying the exact same thing back in 1968. My father was a young Dem back then. He is now the most conservative person I know.
