Considering that we have a two-party system, the parties have generally found themselves taking the opposite position of the opposing party on a given issue, whether the other party picks up on a new issue or a paradigm-shift occurs. Either that, or one of the parties shifts or softens on a position. Therefore, some balance will occur in response to changing demographics and other factors.
A number of scenarios are possible. Republicans could soften on some social issues, they could slowly and lightly soften on unions, and white independents (excluding young college graduates) could heavily shift toward the GOP.
