I love this strategy, totally repulse the younger gens of centrism and try and suck all of the boomers out of the GOP. That won't backfire in less than 10 years for the neolibs at all.
It's like, I remember around 2008-2010, libs were talking breathlessly about how Democrats would rule for 1,000 years because they had all the growing demographics (young people and Hispanic voters) while Republicans were all old and white - the shrinking demographics.
Fast forward 10 years, and both parties are fighting tooth and nail for the old & white demographic and telling young people and Hispanics to go fuck themselves.
It's just the Clintonian Third Way all over again. Triangulating your way into the presidency while simultaneously completely demoralizing your base and paving the way for an ever-more resurgent right. This shit has not changed at all.

They looked at what they'd have to do to get those young and Hispanic votes and went for dumpster diving outside the Villages' cafeteria instead.
