The weird problem with this strategy is that there's a number of people who become more conservative, for whatever reason, as they get older.
The generation that comprised the hippies are now in their 80s. Mitch McConnell would have been in that generation.
So while the current crop of conservatives are dying off, they are being replaced by new members.
