Agreed. Yeah, some day in the not too distant future there will be more Millenials voting than Baby Boomers. And DeSantis' positions on social issues are not popular among the Millenials.
The Republican Party will have to adapt to remain relevant.

you have mentioned before and i have heard it for a long time that "i'm a fiscal conservative but a social liberal" or some variation of that triteness
a quote of muir's i agree with is, "when we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it is hitched to everything else in the universe"
believe it or not at our peril but things like national unity and economic stability and all that goes with that, like good neighborhoods and schools and happy well cared for children and being militarily strong along with conservative social norms that have stood for many millennia are all hitched together
you cant have the former for long, without the latter
the 2nd law of thermodynamics, that is moving from order to disorder, speaking in terms of a society, will accelerate without common sense norms, and we dont have shared common sense much anymore
