    Honest answer is that I don't know. I don't think anyone knows. It's certainly possible.https://twitter.com/carmenprincest/status/743171646765281280 …

    @mattklewis despite my biases, I ask this without any hostility: do you think the altright might be the youth of American conservativism?

        Alt-Right isn't the Youth of Conservatism, it's the Youth of the Internet: a pungent mixture of 4Chan, Reddit, and Stormfront

        Most of these people have no intellectual connection to the conservative movement whatsoever. This isn't YAF, etc.

        In other words, they're certainly not sitting around reading Russell Kirk.

        true. But the problem is that so few of us are. Who's the GOP base more like today?

        Let's not overplay our hand here: Trump won with a minority of R votes and most Trump voters don't call him "Daddy"

        @CarmenPrincest The authority of the conservative elite has been destroyed, by attacks from both sides.. 1/

        ..so the answer depends on what ultimately fills that gap. There's one hint though.. 2/

        Pursuing amnesty for illegal immigrants as a top priority isn't likely to be the basis for a new coalition. 3/3

        No. From the ones I know they're 30 and up. Look at demographics on peripheral issues like support for Confederate flag.

        maybe that is what "youth" means for the GOP.

        Hardly. I know many of the young conservatives who were in the GOP. Many leaving due to Trump. @mattklewis

        I thought we were talking about the future? Trump is burying the GOP with minority millennials.

        Isn't that about what I just said? Young conservatives in GOP are leaving due to Trump. @mattklewis

        which is why I said, perhaps 30+ is what qualifies as young GOP.

        I don't see anyone <40 interested in Trump. But I'm Mormon from the Intermountain West & we're against Trump more than most.

        not to be a shithead, but I think "young conservatives" by definition gives a vague age range
