Southern Counties Lose Their White Majorities, Threatening GOP

Increasing urban diversity in Southern states is complicating Republican efforts to keep the reins of statehouse power and chip away at Democratic control of Congress.

Of the 65 counties that turned majority minority since 2010, meaning more than half the population is made up of people of color, over two-thirds are in the South, a Stateline analysis of new census data shows. Thirty-five of those counties voted Republican in the 2020 presidential election, down from 39 in 2012.

The four that flipped are Tarrant County, Texas (which includes Fort Worth); Duval County, Florida (which includes Jacksonville); and two counties in the Atlanta suburbs that were key to Democratic victories last year, Henry and Cobb.

It's not the white/non-White thing.

It's that they are becoming more suburban and suburban voters are becoming more Democrat.

Hey, Tim, if that’s not racist I don’t know what it is.

You ASSUME BLACKS ARE DIMS?

Shame on you.

Californians warned everyone. As early as 1994 with Prop 187.

But the GOP leadership joined Democrats in howling racist, nativist, xenophobe, anti-immigrant.

Bush jr even tried to ram through another illegal alien amnesty.

Now the rest of the country gets to experience what California has. Welcome to post-America, the new 3rd world.

“With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people—a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.

This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties.”

Whitey is awakening up and becoming a realist.

I was naive until I lived in Memphis for 3 years and saw what happens when they care 80% of the population.

Hispanics were turning more to the GOP in 2020.

Working class Hispanics are the future of the GOP. The first election cycle they definitively vote Republican will be the moment that liberals will officially start calling them "white".
