That is all changing though. Young people favor gay marriage. They want gun control. That's the issue conservatives are running into. Their majority is simply dying faster.
You can cherry pick a couple tightly fought issues for any side. Most of the country wants universal health care. Most want assault weapons banned. The country for the most part is moderate. They may lean one way or the other but aren't full blown liberals or conservatives. When one party gets too far in one direction, the moderates vote against them. When the Democrats go too far to the left, they'll get voted out too.
