“The demographics of this country are changing and in order to build a conservative majority we absolutely have to make minorities feel comfortable in this party.”
I’ve listened to this tripe time and time and time and time and time and time (had enough yet?) again.
It doesn’t work.
After four years of ignoring the plight of black Americans, 93% voted for Obama, again.
He won 71% of the Hispanic vote the second time around.
He won 73% of “the Asian vote”. Heck, Asians (who presumably work hard and are “conservative”) voted for the ‘rats at a higher percentage than did Hispanics!
The traditional brand of “conservatism, American-style” by its very design seems to appeal mostly to one ethnic/racial demographic group. To others, not so much, or hardly at all.
You cannot change what conservatism is. If you try to bend it into some concoction that is designed to appeal to the Hispanic/Asian ethnic groups, it isn’t going to be “conservatism” any longer. And by doing so, it would lose the support of that single group that believes in it today.
A large and growing proportion of the American population just doesn’t seem interested in “conservatism” anymore.
A hard truth to be sure, but just because the truth may be hard makes it no less true.
To believe that you’re going to be able to convert non-Euros to traditional conservatism is nothing more than believing that some undefinable magic solution is going to appear out of nowhere to save our side.
It’s not.
Interesting post. What I was thinking all day. Any white person who voted for Obama was voting for their own extinction.
