“And that number,,,is NOT shrinking. “
Yours is the most perceptive post of the thread.
America is changing.
Literally, “changing complexions” (in an absolute sense, and also in a political sense).
An unpleasant truth of conservative politics in America:
Not all whites are conservative, but...
The vast majority of conservatives are white.
By 2042 (the latest estimate, which perhaps may occur sooner), Euro-Americans will shrink into the minority as a portion of the American population. And, as their numbers decline, so do their political persuasions. Of those persuasions, the most notable is conservatism itself.
As the nonwhite demographic of America grows, the political leanings of those non-Euros - and the politicians they embrace - will more resemble those of the countries they have come from, rather than this one. Combine this with a dumbing-down of a large-enough cohort of the _Euro_ population, and the writing is on the wall: elections are only going to grow harder and harder for conservatives to win in the years to come.
Thus America is on the cusp of electing an American version of Hugo Chavez.
Recall if you will a scene from Arthur Penn’s film “Little Big Man”, about the sole white survivor of Custer’s Last Stand. In that scene Jack Crabbe (the “Little Big Man”, portrayed by Dustin Hoffman) has been rescued from the midst of the carnage and is reunited with his Indian mentor, Old Lodge Skins (played by the great Chief Dan George).
The Chief tells Jack:
“We won today. We won’t win tomorrow”.
Wisely, the old man knew the power of demographics - regardless of how bravely the Indians could resist, eventually they were doomed to lose due to the sheer numbers of their [white] adversaries.
We will be lucky to win this one.
We will not be so lucky in the years to come.

The demographics are devastating for the Republican Party. Dick Morris commented on this a few years ago.
I forget the exact numbers,,,,but the aggregate numbers of blacks (93%+ voting democratic) are increasing at twice the rate of whites.....the Hispanic population (voting 70% democratic) (birth rate and immigration) is about three times the white rate,,,,and the muslim increase (again, voting 70% democratic) which I forget the approximate numbers, is again increasing at a greater rate.
The future of this country is a 'sharp move to the left'--the only thing open to debate is how fast and how sharply that movement occurs.
And the other side believes they are racists and want to lynch people!
Their arguments hold no credibility when at the same time they can justify 4,000 unborn Americans (most of them black) getting something 10x worse than a lynching every day: abortion.
