Nothing. Demographics have little if anything to do with political alignment over the long haul. There’s a natural ebb and flow to politics. The parties change their alignment over a very long cycle, the people change their alignment over a fairly short cycle, there are no permanent majorities.
These predictions assume that birth rates in the minority community will remain as high as they have been, which is not necessarily the case. The black birth rate has fallen dramatically and is essentially the same as the white rate. The Hispanic birth rate is beginning to follow the same trajectory. Extrapolation is not measurement.
As Mark Steyn says: “The future belongs to those who show up.”
No, that's entirely wrong-headed and I hate to read either Dems or Republicans stating it. What it means is that the Dems can now win elections without a majority of the white vote. They can't entirely discard the demographic - Hillary did and she lost. The Republicans do win quite a lot of elections without a majority of the black vote, but when that black vote went 95% for 0bama, not so much. Hillary could have won with 47% of the white vote, but with 37%, not so much. In theory identity politics rules, in application, it fails because it's too simplistic.
Hillary's now infamous (and often misquoted) statement about the West Virginia coal miners is a case in point. Demographically, she alienated a few white male working-class voters in a specific industry. In practice, she alienated a sizable chunk of the working class, male and female, white and black and Hispanic and Asian, period. Had her campaign been paying attention to that they'd have taken corrective measures long before they did, when it was too late.
People do vote their interests, but those interests aren't always based around the holy liberal trinity of race, sex, and bedroom practices. Their demigod Marx told them so, and they stopped listening. They need to open up from identity politics, not double down on it and face diminishing returns. Sooner or later somebody smart enough to realize that will be in a position to accomplish it, but it doesn't look imminent.
The problem for the democrats is that more and more
minorities will be voting their pocket book.
Republicans may or may not be able to influence demographics, but they can surely improve the case they make to the American people. One thing they got going for them is that collectivism does not work.
‘White’ is very flexible. Many people who are considered ‘white’ today were minorities 100 years ago - Irish, Jews, Italians, Poles.
If ‘Hispanics’ stop speaking Spanish, there is little to distinguish them from the rest of the population.
Times they are a changing.
Focus on small government, liberty and economic strength.
People of all colors are welcome to join us, but they should expect no special considerations or race-based rewards.
One freedom loving colorblind party.
What do they Dims have going for them? ...hate, nothing but hate and whining. Nobody wants a whiner or a hater.
Wish Republicans and MAGA's would stop adding the last syllable to the word, "Democrat"--Democratic describes a totally different set of ideas than does the actual moniker for the "Democrat Party."
Examine the agenda! Democrat Party leadership, agenda and policies are anything but "democratic."
Interesting theory.
