For years, we have had to endure the "demographics is destiny" narrative from the pessimists on our side. Most conservatives who have uttered those words over the past decade or so resigned themselves to defeat, telling us to cherish the last few years of conservatives even having a chance to win elections for the foreseeable future. The underlying assumption was that minorities (non-whites) would always vote Democrat.

I always got annoyed at that line of defeatist thinking and that we should cede those minority groups to the liberals forever and ever. I've been saying for years that minority groups such as Blacks, Hispanics and Jews would be receptive to conservative messages. All we had to do was go after them with some positive messaging and we would bring many of them into the conservative (GOP) tent.

President Trump has shown that this is the approach to take and this is going to drive him to a solid victory for a second term in just three weeks.

Hopefully Republicans of the future smarten up and are able to sustain and even improve upon the coalition that Trump is building.

Boy it’s hard to change a multi generation ingrained way of thinking. But it can be done.

We got 11 percent of the black vote last time, i think. That’s up from the usual 5. We got 34 percent of Hispanics and that’s been as low as 28 percent in other elections.

We don’t need majorities from them.

a 40/60 split for hispanics and a 25/75 split for blacks would help us Tremendously!!

And then we can build from there.

Thing is, Trump isn’t looked upon so much as an R but more of a nationalist.

I hope we don’t get another stick in the mud R to represent us in 2024.

But first things first :)

“Hopefully Republicans of the future smarten up and are able to sustain and even improve upon the coalition that Trump is building.”

that’s the big question ... or will they revert back to do-nothing, lying, chickenshit, fraidycats who cry and whine and apologize for every statement they make that the leftist fake stream enemedia tries to frighten them with ...
