Don't kid yourself. Left/right politics (as opposed to up/down class politics) is the oldest cultural programming politics has.

Some millennials and GenZ will remain life long Trump supporters. Just as some people stuck with Regan and Nixon.

Parties go into hibernation for decades, but without systemic change that ends two party politics in a way that increases democratic representation - these two leviathans will continue to exist.

Best you can hope for is to encourage your preferred form of Conservatism and then have political interests you align with, fund and foster that preferred form into dominance within right wing politics.

To win you have to take over both sides from within AND keep your original values intact.
