I do think the Party will have to change as the older white voters who resist change and fear anyone who is nonwhite die off. Fewer younger people favor Republican policies, but they may not favor Democratic policies either. They will be the ones to remake the Republican Party (and maybe the Democratic Party as well), but I can’t see the party disappearing entirely—although the current party deserves to disappear forever for all its crookedness and election stealing.
