Whites have fled the Democratic Party. Here’s how the nation got there.

Identity politics is based on hate and oppressing the non favored groups.

At this point the Democrats favor non citizens over citizens.

This will be an epic fail for them, even in California.

"The glue of the Democrat party is hatred - they took that step knowingly and willingly in order to build a coalition of people they didn't hate, and that turned out to be nearly no one."

You would think that one group they don't hate is gays, yet - over and over - we see that when they want to mock a conservative, they publicly accuse him of being a closet homosexual, and use gay slurs with impunity, or use gay slurs privately even regarding actual gays. We have seen this several times just in the past few weeks.

“Forbidden Planet” is such a great movie.

The dem’s dilemma is that they have to be pretty crazy and out there to attract the fringe elements they depend upon to cobble together a winning voting bloc, but it is just that craziness that is beginning to drive away many of their more traditional supporters, like white labor union members, and those who are fiscally liberal but socially more conservative.

I think their descent into transgender bathrooms, forced pronouns, etc. has done considerable damage to them for not much marginal gain. It’s the same effect that Target experienced when they cratered their business in order to seek favor with a tiny number of fringe weirdos.

...Hispanics moving away...

Just the ones that are here legally (aka, American citizens). I suspect the ones here illegally (aka, invaders) vote in droves for the Dems.

[Steve_Seattle]

"we decided not to pick our own cotton centuries ago."

And now Dems have decided we don't want to pick ANYTHING, so we'll import more "people of color" to do it for us.

>> I’m disappointed <<

We all are. But the disaster at our border did not percolate from American culture. It rose out of elite one-world order types affiliated with both political parties for different reasons. American culture 2018 is vastly different than American culture 1978. The “silent majority” is finally waking up and I expect to see a revival of traditional American/Family/Liberty values soon.

You will thrive here. You think for yourself and value individual Liberty. Welcome!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I never changed. I have never voted for a Democrat in my life except once to cross-over into a Democrat primary.

“Blacks are fleeing too.”

Hope you are black and know whereof you speak my friend!

[SaraJohnson]

Whites who are easily racially manipulated by Demonrats today, would have been just as easily racially manipulated in past racist doctrines and schemes created by Dims. Their beliefs about human beings run skin deep.

[ealgeone]

I think the primary reason white voters fled the dim party was the liberal takeover of the party.

Most Americans didn't like the shabby treatment of the military and the overall trashing of American values we saw in the late 60s and early 70s.

The pro-murder platform of the dnc has driven more whites away....and should drive more blacks away if they were thinking.

The Evangelical vote has gone heavy for gop-e candidates but I'm not sure we're getting much return for our support.

Roman Catholics finally got smart and supported Trump. Just one of a handful of times the RC vote has gone to the gop presidential nominee.

If the gop-e was smart...and that's very questionable, a massive outreach to those groups should be sufficient to be a coalition of voters to win going forward.

[Steve_Seattle]

For some reason, the left thought that the election of Trump gave them a green light to openly move to the far left on virtually every issue, from immigration to transgender bathrooms to the rule of law itself. I think/hope that they overplayed their hand, and that middle-of-the-road voters will finally see the nihilistic, anti-American left for what it is.

[DoughtyOne]

At some point I expect to see that verified.

Certainly in California, I think they vote in droves, but I can’t prove it.

[Lurker]

“after Democrats’ support of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.“

Joshua is a damned liar.

[Hugin]

Maybe because leftists are anti-white and want to replace the population with Third Worlders?

[Salvavida]

That is because being an American isn’t about being a race or ethnic group, it is a culture. If whites or any other large demographic don’t think America is worth defending, than it won’t be long until it falls.

Will there be a people strong enough to survive and carry on? Not if the Gospel of Christ is abandoned.

[Bonemaker]

You are right. The turbulent, revolutionary 60’s is what did it...I was there. The filthy race riots and anti-war (which was really anti-American) protests sickened all normal, decent people. Now many of those, their spawn, and grand spawn are wheels in the democrat party. JFK, Truman, and FDR would be republicans now.

Re: “Democrats are considering how to improve their poor showings in 2014 and 2016.”

Tear down more statues of historically prominent white people?

[Fhios]

Glad you responded, that’s exactly the sentence I zeroed in on. It’s a half truth. It was the drive for a welfare state packaged along with the civil rights that pushed some out and it happens everytime the pendulum swings too far to the left.

[Flatus I. Maximus]

Whites didn't leave the Democratic Party. They were driven out, by the constant shrill browbeating they received just for being white. I know I was. Why stay in a party where they constantly make it clear that they hate you and the only thing you can do for them is die soon and get out of the way?

(Oh but before you go, be sure to write us a check to fund more of this, okay?)
