You are already seeing the change among young conservatives.
Less hate for minorities
an openness to the gays
a tiny bit more respect for education
a tiny bit less hatred for atheists
a slight increase in learning about science
where you will see the change the most:
a willingness to help the poor
a willingness to support birth control
support for health care
less emphasis on supporting the needy super rich
support for rebuilding America
less desire to plunge the nation into war
It will be slow. The entire philosophy behind conservatism is to keep things as static and unchanging as possible and if there must be change, slow it down. Today's Republicans want to block everything. Their greatest successes, NASA and the Interstate Highway system would never, ever happen with today's Republicans. We all know it. It can't be denied.
But there will be a generational change and that will take time. And I think I've done a pretty good in outlining it in simplistic terms.
