Demography is destiny. We will see more and more states turn blue. AZ, NC, and GA are next. FL is not far behind. And once TX goes, it is all over.

Unless we reduce significantly the current cap of 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants annually and change the rules on birthright citizenship that confers citizenship on 300,000 anchor babies every year, it is over. The Dems will be the permanent majority party within a decade.

I can sympathize with many of the posts on this thread that are trying to come up with explanations as to why the electoral results are changing in favor of the Dems. I went thru a similar experience living in VA for 36 years and watching the state go from solid red to solid blue. Mass immigration changed the state coupled with domestic migration from the Northeast.

I was active in local VA politics being part of the county committee and attending VA state conventions. There was large scale denial of the impact of immigration. As the demography changed, outreach and better messaging were deemed the solutions. It was fruitless and futile. In many ways, one's politics are similar to one's religion. You usually inherit them from your parents and community. It takes generations to change. In the meantime, we get hundreds of thousands of future Dem voters coming into the country every year thru our immigration policies.

A number of years ago, I had a one-on-one briefing with Eric Cantor on the electoral impact of immigration. I asked him what the Dems would do if the immigrants were voting Rep instead of Dem. Would they allow them to come in under the current numbers? He laughed and said that they would never put up with it. I responded, "Why are the Republicans putting up with it?" No answer. The reality is that the corporate elites own both parties. They want an inexhaustible supply of cheap, exploitable labor. They could care less about the social costs and the damage to American workers.

THAT is what is so frustrating. I'm involved in County party here, and was in Washington. So, what do we do...just give up?

So, realistically, how are we going to do THAT with the democrats controlling the House and Trump's immigration executive orders being batted away by every federal judge and his brother?

So what is the smartest thing we can do to avoid what seems like the inevitable?Take back the education system? Isn’t that where the left destroys the original America?
