    Conservatives already are a true minority.

    Conservatives have not won the popular vote in a presidential election since 1988 with one exception (Bush Jr.'s reelection during the post-9/11 surge of patriotism). So, in the last 8 presidential elections over the course of 32 years, conservatives won the popular vote once (edit: and I’d argue that even that win was an aberration caused by 9/11 and the Bush administration’s misinformation campaign regarding WMD’s in Iraq).
