“When it happens, when the Hispanics are the majority (or whoever) we will suddenly discover that they are not all alike after all, and the parties will shift to accommodate”

Yeah, I’m confused as to why people assume that when hispanics become the majority they will continue with the exact same ideology. That may be so, but who knows? We’ve never had a non-white majority to test it. But we have had minorities within whitehood, like Catholics, Germans, Irish Italians, etc., and they all eventually became indistinguishable from other white people. Perhaps hispanics will do the same.

I would suggest that you reexamine the changes in voting patterns with the settlements of particular peoples in urban America--not just on national origin lines, but even within particular nationalities, of particular subsets. (For example, the Germans who settled in Cincinnati were mostly from Conservative roots in Germany--hence fit in quite well with the existing southern Ohio culture; while Milwaukee drew German Socialists from the same era, and was electing Socialist Mayors for generations--and still has a Leftist leaning.)

Or look at the voting patterns in New York City!

Yeah, sure, it’s just a coincidence that majority Hispanic countries are all socialistic in nature and are basically corrupt third world backwaters.

It couldn’t have anything to do with the people getting the government they deserve.

Catholics did not change, they have continued to be democrats, they never assimilated completely.

We have had non-white minorities become majorities in many local areas, and we can see that they don’t magically become Conservative when they reach that tipping point. They continue to try to transform their cities into the 3rd world cesspools they came from.

Also the white “minorities” you speak of had no problems, because they assimilated. They didn’t dig their heels in and lobby for German or Irish-language classes in schools, and hold marches every year accusing the rest of us of racism.
