Are Republicans Doomed? What do Demographics tell us?

Doesn’t sound like a party in trouble, to me.

Maybe you should investigate the birth rates of various groups, the white populations is not even replacing themselves which means we as a ground are declining. Guess which groups are not.

Interesting theory.

[Salvation]

But we still need to get out the Republican vote. We can’t sit on our hands and do nothing!

[Salvation]

Along the way, for whatever reason, whites will start to have more children.

Then watch that next generation vote Republican!

IMO we need to recognize Mexico as a hostile nation to clear the way to send the full US Military to the border. We must stop this invasion now or we will cease to exist.

Demographics have little if anything to do with political alignment over the long haul.

I notice the Muslim dominated countries regularly elect Christians and Jews to political offices. </s>

Maybe we could find evidence of your assertion in South Africa or Zimbabwe.

Let’s pray for that!

We can find evidence of my assertion right here in America where they were talking about. The GOP was the party of Lincoln and owned the black vote for decades because of it. Now the Dems get over 90%. But with black joblessness dropping that might not be the case anymore.

B$. They are black but the black culture would not be recognized by the blacks of Lincoln's day. Besides you ignore all the evidence to the contrary of your assertion.

[discostu]

Actually you just proved me right. Culture changes. Subculture changes. Thus demographics change their voting habits. The black culture will change again, and with it their voting habits.

Considering that you said it didn't matter

[discostu]

it makes perfectly good sense if you’d bother to pay attention to what’s said rather than look for your next opportunity to throw an insult. But of course we both know you can’t do that. Think, for once, you might like it.

Think, for once, you might like it.

If thinking was involved in your position then no thanks.

If you are insulted by someone critiquing your position then you are on the wrong forum.

[discostu]

You don’t critique, you take individual sentences out of context, throw shade, and pretend you’re not a pathetic waste of flesh. My posts were simple to follow, plainly true to anyone that’s smart enough to tie their own shoe and can remember how many times in the 21st century “permanent majorities” have been predicted and evaporated in under 6 years.

Demographics don’t matter. You actually PROVED my point, but your arrogance can’t admit it. Goodbye.

I agree with you, but on the other hand the demographic trends portend good news for the Left and bad news for the Right. So, in my view the GOP will gradually tack to the left in order to have a fighting chance to win elections. The timeline for these trends will depend on how rapidly the non-white population and its white leftist allies increase relative to the conservative white population and its non-white conservative allies.

Nothing is permanent because change is inevitable, except when it comes to liberalism and libertarians.

You used the black population to assert that demographics did not matter and I pointed out the fallacy of your assertion by saying that black is not a demographic culture is the demographic which you ignored.

If you think the demographic of white Christians of 1940 will reappear with a Spanish population you are just plain nuts.

[discostu]

No YOU used black people to disprove me, but in the process you pointed out that their core beliefs and political allegiance has changed drastically over the years. Which proved my point. Demographics don’t matter in long term politics because demographics change like that all the time.

Don’t need some old view to reappear. What matters is that whatever political allegiance the Spanish population has now will change. Over and over and over.

Maybe we have a different view of what demographics means.

I suppose we could keep importing Muslims and hope they adopt our Constitutional government but I sure don't want to find out. Do You?

[discostu]

Outside the scope of the conversation. The question was do demographics say the GOP is dead. They do not. Because whatever trend is going against them now will be balanced with other trends.
