Back during the protracted recount following the 2000 Bush-Gore election, I offered a subversive bit of advice in a VDARE article entitled: GOP Future Depends on Winning Larger Share of the White Vote.
Bushs boy-genius strategist Karl Rove had achieved acclaim by declaring that the only hope for the Republican Party to cope with changing demographics was in enticing Hispanic voters by encouraging even more immigration. Sure, the GOP would lose on each immigrant vote cast, but would make up for it on volume. Or something.
Yet I pointed out that Bush could have won in an Electoral College landslide merely by upping his share of the white vote from 54 percent to 57 percent.
I further noted that the most obvious source of additional white votes were white union familiesReagan Democratsin states Bush had lost narrowly, such as Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. And one way to appeal to blue-collar whites in the crucial north-central swing states was to be more skeptical of immigration.
Although this turned out to be more or less the winning strategy for Donald Trump sixteen years later, my article was immediately banned from discussion at the mainstream GOP website Free Republic as divisive and promoting racism. Although a vote cast by a white was still counted, technically speaking, as equal to a vote cast by a nonwhite, as far back as 2000 it was considered by Establishment Republicans to be morally repulsive to appeal to the self-interest of those most likely to swing Republican. What would the Democrats say?

As intended no doubt...still, its nice to be remembered.
Sailer recognizes a core audience when he sees one.
Great link! Thank you!

Sailer and Buchanan have been right on the issue of white voters who have been the GOP's principal base for decades. When you look at the exit polls, it is pretty clear that whites are the path to a GOP victory. In 2016 whites voted 57% to 37% for the GOP. White women voted 52% to 43% for Trump.
Minorities skew the women's vote by their lockstep voting for the Dems. Black women (7% of the total vote) voted 94% to 4% for Hillary; Latinas (6% of the total vote) voted 69% to 25% for Hillary; other women (Asians, native Americans, etc who comprise 6% of the total vote) voted 61% to 31% for Hillary. The conclusion is that the GOP doesn't have a problem with women in general, just minority women.
By 2019, next year, half of the children 18 and under will be minorities as classified by the USG. Hence each cohort that turns 18 every year will be more minority and more Dem. Is it any wonder that the Dems have won the popular vote in 6 out of the last 7 elections? Non-Hispanic whites were 89% of the population in 1970; 63% today; and by 2043 they will be 50%.
Mass immigration and the 1965 Immigration Act changed the demography of the US forever. We continue to bring in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year, 87% of whom are minorities. And this does not include the 300,000 anchor babies born to illegal aliens annually. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem. If we don't reduce legal immigration significantly, the Dems will be the permanent majority party within a decade. By 2050, the demographics of the US will be similar to that of CA currently. Immigrants and their US born children drive 80% of our population growth.
The Dems have created tribal/identity politics. The one group they don't want to see develop such an identity is non-Hispanic whites. They are the least polarized group when it comes to voting. Hillary still got 37% of the white vote, much more than the GOP got from the various minority groups. The Dems have put all their chips on demography changing the electoral composition of the country. They think they can write off white voters as their numbers and influence decrease. Unfortunately for the thin veneer of ossified, white liberals who currently run the Dem party, their days are numbered as minorities prefer one of their own to run things. Crowley and Solarz found that out as their district demography changed. Feinstein was not given the Dem endorsement for the Senate with her Dem Hispanic opponent being favored.
Black Caucus members are now finding out they they too are being challenged by the growing Hispanic populations in their districts. Rangel was essentially forced out in a district that is over 60% Hispanic. Maxine Waters' district is 15.1% White, 23.6% Black, 12.6% Asian, and 46.0% Hispanic. There are a number of other such districts that currently have a Black Congressman. It will change.
And then there is the curious case of white Steven Cohen (D-TN) who represents the 9th district that is 66% black and 26% white. Cohen was turned down to be a member of the Black Caucus. How long will he last as our politics become more tribal?
I don’t remember that one. If you have a link to remind me, I’ll check it out.
It’s bizarre.
Yep, FR is mainstream. I've seen MUCH more radical right-wing talk elsewhere.
Yes
bttt
Matt is right
The forum was more moderate and full of race baiting wolf packs
Much better now
Hes also right....that 15 year old stuff is hard to mine now Ive tried
There is the stuff from when he and I got zotted around though
Vdare had it as did Gheen
Shelby Steele said white guilt is not guilt
Its the fear of being called racist and causes whites to act against their self interest
Amongst the younger college class its more than just that
Its a psychosis
Especially girls .....with feminism tossed in
Yes it is....our browning has enabled this crazy progressivism were witnessing
Right before our eyes cheered on by our far left media which is defying at least half the nation
Had Vdare been allowed, freepers who don’t live in front line California would have known far sooner what a huge threat to America mass immigration has become. Instead what you had is the Bush-GOPe gestapo hunting down renegades who spoke up against them and their borderless world bullshit.
Well that certainly changed, probably to all of our astonishment. At least for now. Maybe it will last.
I agree. What’s going on in college campuses across the country is a coordinated assault on American values by NWO
Billionaire elites. Foreign influence for certain.
Which is how the Rats and the GOPe want it to stay.
Yes. Please see 28.
The Lee Kuan Yew quotes are amazing, thanks!
As a successful Asian in a multi-cultural Asian society (Singapore), he was very free to speak his mind, unlike Europeans who must remain silent on these subjects lest they be screamed down as racists.

I suppose it’s okay to post Sailer, as long as it’s from Takimag and not Vdare. Seems silly to me. A silly vestige of old FR-GOPe grudges.
If history and demography continue on smooth tracks, we are pretty much doomed.
But there may be non-linear events leading to ruptures in the near future.
