Is her racial diversity America's greatest strength?
So we are told. Yet, even before America becomes a majority-minority nation, 25 years from now, recent changes in the composition of the country are going to impact both parties in 2020.
According to Brookings Institution demographer William Frey, between 2010 and 2020, while America's population grew by 20 million, our white population fell for the first time since the 1790 census.
White Americans fell as a share of the population in all 50 states, in 358 of 364 metropolitan areas, in 3,012 of 3,141 counties. During that same decade, our Black population grew by 3 million, our Asian population by 4 million, and our Hispanic population by 10 million.
What's the significance of those numbers? In presidential elections, Hispanics and Asians vote 70% Democratic, and African Americans voted 90%.
White folks, who made up 69% of the U.S. population in 2000 when George W. Bush was elected, have fallen today to 60%.
For children under 16, the white share has fallen to less than half.
Minority kids are now the majority in California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, and Maryland.
Whites are also the oldest Americans, with a median age of 44. For Asian Americans, it is 37, for Black Americans, it is 35, and for Latinos, it is 30.
Bottom line: The pool of Democratic voters is growing inexorably while the largest pool of potential GOP voters is aging, stagnating, and shrinking.
For the GOP, this is an existential crisis. If demography is destiny, and the party does not either increase its share of the white vote or attract millions more Black, Asian or Hispanic voters, then its national fate and future are sealed.
All one need do is look to California. There, Democrats occupy every statewide office and two-thirds of both houses of the legislature. Both senators are Democrats as are 45 of the 52 members of the U.S. House.
Nor are Democrats unaware of the opportunity demography offers.
As persons of color in America -- Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans and people of mixed race -- grow in number, the Democrats' job is a simple one.
Get more people of color registered and voting.
So, today, Democrats are pushing for amnesty and a path to citizenship not only for the DACA "Dreamers" but also the 11 million to 22 million other immigrants here illegally. Democrats may be found enlarging the electorate anywhere they can, even if it means allowing convicted felons and prison inmates to vote.
If Democrats capture the White House and Senate, the "Muslim ban" on immigration is history, and America's doors will be opened anew.
But Joe Biden and his generation of Democrats have their own problem.
Even as people of color make up a growing share of the nation, around 40%, they are an even larger, and still growing, the share of the Democratic base.
Without the huge majorities Asians, Blacks and Hispanics give them, Democrats could not win the White House. Yet, in this year's primaries, the six top finishers in delegates were Biden, Bernie Sanders, Mike Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, and Amy Klobuchar.
All are white, as are the two top Democratic leaders in the House, Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer; the two top Democratic leaders in the Senate, Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin; and the overwhelming majority of the 47 Democratic senators and 24 Democratic governors.
Democrats may prattle on about their glorious "diversity," but a closer look reveals a predominantly white senior officer corps, atop an army of minorities, whose shock troops are the Black Caucus, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and The Squad, the latter consisting of four women of color.
There is something else of interest here.
While the statues being torn down in the revolution of the Democratic left are a variety of explorers, conquerors, colonists, missionaries, Confederates, and presidents, all appear to have one thing in common.
All are white men.
The Democratic left wants to terminate the succession of white folks making the history of the country.
Thus the Democrats' problem that comes with Biden's choice of a running mate. Though demands are being made that minorities, who deliver half of all Democratic votes, be represented on the ticket, Biden is said to be leaning toward a white woman, Elizabeth Warren.
Choosing Warren would make this Democratic ticket like every other one in 220 years, save for Barack Obama's -- an all-white ticket. It would pass over half a dozen women of color and put a white woman first in the line of succession to the presidency. And the 77-year-old Biden is promising to be a transition president.
If Biden overlooks the women of color being considered as running mates and picks a white woman, the rumbling of the coming rebellion of the minorities inside the Democratic Party will be heard loud and clear.
Not only is it not a strength. It is a cancer that is destroying us.
This country has lost it’s way, and will be reduced in power and wealth as a result. Instead of wanting to be American and valuing each other as Americans, the left has us divided. We are all now some kind of America, white American, black American, brown American, disabled American, gay American, etc. Everyone clings to their identifier, and it becomes more important than the American part.
This country is the equivalent of a dead man walking. The fall is coming, I just don’t know exactly when. And I have no clue how to protect myself from the collapse.
Stacy Abrams for VP!
then squeeze Joe out for his “health problems”.
BOOM! First Black woman president!
But, she’ll need someone experienced to help her in her new role.
Hillary Clinton would make a fine VP for President Stacy Abrams.
BOOM! Two women in the White House!
Of course, Stacy might fold under pressure and commit suicide in the Rose Garden.
Hillary will be saddened, of course, but ready to answer the call.
One thing that will continue, is the Democrat Party will lose more white votes as time goes on. It is probably inevitable.
FWIW, just saw an all-black TV commercial, from the US Census. Talking about how (the black actors) need to do the Census for their people... WTH is Trump doing?
“All one need do is look to California.”
That’s the plan. Texas, Florida, and Georgia are next. Rivers of Blood. It’s just getting started, but it’s a lot more cozy to talk about tax cuts and killing the towel heads and how “the DemonKKKrats are the real racists” and a bunch of other things that won’t matter very soon. This is why the wall was/is the only issue that matters; without it, you automatically lose all of the other ones.
When the Whites all die off, who will feed the minorities?
They will vote for a country that resembles Venezuela - and won’t even understand what they’re voting for, only for “change.”
This is one “change” they’re not going to like. Glad I won’t be here to see it but I fear for my children.
Probably the Chinese, it gives them the perfect opportunity to sleaze right in through the front door...
Forget where’s Hunter? Where the heck is Joe? 3 months out and he hasn’t sat for a hard hitting interview? WOW, nobody, and I mean nobody can tell be he isn’t suffering from dementia and his crowd his hiding him from serious scrutiny.
Whites generally made the country great and very livable for most. They fought to free the slaves. They elected a black POTUS. And they as a group did more to feed and help third world minorities than anyone.
The undercover rulers of the Dem Party are responsible for making themselves very filthy rich and more powerful while putting America into decline. Average whites are the victims.
What is a “white” person, and when is a person a “person of color”? I have a mixed race family, and several mixed race friends/colleagues. If my granddaughter is 25% Black, is considered Black or white? I know mixed race Asians/white people or Mexican/Irish. What are they for census purposes? I don’t share the “fear” of a majority minority population, especially if we consider mixed race people as members of the minority population, when in reality they are part white and come from white families.
At some point, USA will look like this. Split up into 5 or 6 new countries.
“At some point, USA will look like this. Split up into 5 or 6 new countries.”
Sadly I think that’s right. I remember seeing the paper by the Russian political scientist predicting this. I thought he was a lunatic. In hindsight, it was I who was the crazy one. This is coming like a freight train. We let them indoctrinate the kids, now it’s on cruise control.
We are at a path of no return. The fall of America is inevitable. Look at Rome. Constantine tried to keep the Roman Empire together but it was too little too late. Even if Trump managed to keep America together during his presidency, what about the next President? Especially if he’s a Leftist.
That is why Soylent Green will be invented...
“Even if Trump managed to keep America together during his presidency, what about the next President? Especially if hes a Leftist.”
Not a matter of if, but when. I’m old enough, I hope Trump is re-elected and it gives me a 4 year reprieve on the madness that’s coming.
