Why the Republican Party is in trouble

A recent report stated that 70% or more of the global population will be living in cities by 2050. Read the report here. It’s about 54% today.

If you look at the map above, you can make some broad observations about geography and party of choice. Look at the population map, and you’ll notice that the Republican Party controls the suburban and particularly rural areas; the Democratic Party, the urban areas.

As people in densely populated urban areas tend to vote for Democratic Party candidates who promise them everything for nothing, the Republicans in the United States (as well as conservatives everywhere) will be in trouble. Why? Because city dwellers depend on government services more that rural citizens. As the Democrats like to provide a lot of social services, at the expense of the wealthier Republican leaning tax paying public, the urban voters will vote for whichever party gives them the most without costing them anything. That’s why they vote Democrat.

It’s the Robin Hood methodology, rob the productive citizens and give to the opposite. The opposite will vote for you, and as every person has a vote, the cycle will continue and feed on itself. That every person group in growing, fast. The Democratic Party loves large voting turnouts, as Republicans by nature are more likely to vote. So a large turnout means that more Democrats will vote.

I think now would be a good time for a new third party to be formed, perhaps the United States Independent Party, or USIP. USIP could also be a verb meaning “You sip” versus the Democrats – “You gulp” when it comes to giving largess to urban voters.

According to the Heritage Foundation, by 2030 just sixteen years away, all government income will go to entitlements and net interest leaving nothing in the Treasury! Nothing. Don’t worry, our nation will be bankrupt long before then though. It is going down the same historical path as Great Britain, that was the world’s super power at the turn of the twentieth century, and is now a shadow of itself. That is our fate unless something is done, fast.

The big problem is that both the Republican and Democratic parties have done their best to block third party candidate access in almost all states, preferring to share power. That idea may have run its course, and a new party could rise from the ashes.

As we’re in for a financial collapse within a few years, perhaps USIP may gain traction to extract us from the colossal mess that both the Republicans and Democrats have got this nation into. I hope so.
