By 2019--7 years from now--half of the children 18 and under will be minorities as defined by the USG. Each cohort that turns 18 now and in the future will be a greater percentage of minorities, which means more Dem voters. Obama won the 18-29 vote 60%-37% and the 30-44 vote 52%-45%. These groups comprised 46% of the electorate in 2012.
Romney won the 45-64 vote 51% to 47%. Romney won the 65 and over 56%-44%. So Romney's strongest group is also the group that is dying out and the ranks are not being replaced at the 18 and over level each year. Every year that goes by adds more Dems to the voting rolls.
And it worth remembering that 87% of the 1.2 million legal immigrants we bring in each year are minorities. Immigrants and minorities vote two to one for the Dems.
The Rep problem is demographic. By 2042 hon-Hispanic whites will be 50% of the population, down from the current 66% and down from 1980 when they were 89% of the population. Demography is destiny.
The immigration rules were changed in the early 60’s to make this demographic change possible. I believe that the elites in both parties came to an unspoken agreement. Democrats wanted the change for more votes. Repubs wanted the change for cheap labor.
I can attribute Obama’s win to 3 very malignant strategies:
Racism, sexism, and classism. The natural result of such electioneering will be disharmony and distrust for years to come. These people are too smart for their own good. They have no idea what long-term damage they have caused.
The dirty little secret is that evangelicals no-voted rather than legitimize a Mormon whom they consider to be a member of a heretic cult.
Sunnis think the same of Shiites.
