Of course, one of the reasons they are losing the younger generation is because they act like fucking twits but they can't seem to make that connection.
I take your point. Perhaps "long-term strategy" was poorly thought out. But gimmicks like this (and the unreasoning rage the GOP will try to stoke among their grass-roots supporters when the legislation is overturned, as it must) certainly doesn't hurt their coffers and will help to get the lunatic fringe of the party to the voting booth to fight The Man. Same old, same old for these cynical fucks.
And yes -- they are peculiarly clueless about why they are tanking among younger voters. Good.
