One of the side-effects of being susceptible to such effective propaganda is that they significantly shortened their own lives by supporting the propagandists. Now with no homes, pensions, health coverage, or living wages, most of a generation of dittoheads--any male right-wing authoritarian over 56 in 1993, especially those in conservative-leaning states--will be dead before the next election.

The life expectancy spread between Democratic states and Republican states is now around two and a half years, meaning that Democrats in states they control get an extra vote over their lifetimes. In this case, it might well be an extra vote for Hillary and one vote less for whomever she runs against.
Combine that with all of the other factors that are beginning to stack up against Republicans, like their century-long record of aggression against non-white voters (who are reproducing more thanks to GOP-authored restrictive birth control and abortion laws, I might add), their ingrained chauvinism, the irrevocable economic damage they have caused which transformed most of the middle class into near-poverty, and I think we shall see that the next four or five elections will increasingly favor the liberal side.
Lest any of you think I am gloating, let me also say that this is one of the largest human tragedies ever perpetrated by Americans against other Americans. The fact that the negative results of these policies are beginning to focus increasingly upon the people who approved of such policies does not detract from the severity of the crime. It only provides us with the opportunity to fix the problem, once those poor fools have met their unfair--but perhaps not unjust--end.
