You’re not counting the overall rightward shift evidenced by the midterms and the tens of millions who will vote for Cruz who haven’t voted for years and Hilary’s inevitable collapse as more and more evidence is leaked and presented against her by those behind the email releases as well as her own self-destructive facetime toxicity and the inevitable rise of Rat candidates to replace her before its too late.
So pack up your big colorful Obama maps and your cries of hopeless doom and crawl back to your wonk hole at DU.
You just can't handle the truth. The Dems are building a permanent majority fueled by legal immigration and minority birth rates. Non-Hispanic whites, the base of the GOP, will be a minority by 2043. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities. In 1970 one in 21 was foreign born in this country; today it is one in 8, the highest in 90 years; and within a decade it will be one in 7, the highest in our history. Demography is destiny.
The non-Hispanic white population is projected to peak in 2024, at 199.6 million, up from 197.8 million in 2012. Unlike other race or ethnic groups, however, its population is projected to slowly decrease, falling by nearly 20.6 million from 2024 to 2060.
Meanwhile, the Hispanic population would more than double, from 53.3 million in 2012 to 128.8 million in 2060. Consequently, by the end of the period, nearly one in three U.S. residents would be Hispanic, up from about one in six today.
The black population is expected to increase from 41.2 million to 61.8 million over the same period. Its share of the total population would rise slightly, from 13.1 percent in 2012 to 14.7 percent in 2060.
The Asian population is projected to more than double, from 15.9 million in 2012 to 34.4 million in 2060, with its share of nation's total population climbing from 5.1 percent to 8.2 percent in the same period.
