Demographics are not static but I do believe that we need conservatives regardless of stripe. I don’t believe in calculating like Democrats do based on race and ethnicity but I do believe we are missing opportunities in minority communities simply because we aren’t showing up at their churches and community events. People can’t figure out they agree with you don’t talk to them. I don’t know how many times I’ve talked with a black person and we are agreement on nearly every issue except one and that is the fact they are a Democrat and vote that way blindly.
I have had the same experiences repeatedly
“...we are agreement on nearly every issue except one and that is the fact they are a Democrat and vote that way blindly.”
I’ve had the same experience, also with lockstep white libs. They will agree on every issue but cannot bring themselves to vote for a Republican.
Somewhere in the late 60’s/early 70’s, the GOP got tagged permanently as the heartless party, the party of the rich, etc. The Dems are the party of the big-hearted, and of the ‘little guy.’ All of which is pure BS.
The GOP would do well to unravel the Dem image first, and then rebuild its own.
