So all we can do is try to crush them. What other options are there? Reactionary American whites, as always, won’t give up their power unless it’s taken from them by either a literal or figurative war. Liberals need to be as Lincolnesque as possible in this endeavor—we don’t have to win the votes of unrepentent bigots, just the fretful fence-sitters—but we also need to be Lincolnesque in our commitment to winning America’s latest race war.

Trend #5: The Republican Party will continue to become ever more dependent on the white vote, while the Democratic Party will depend ever more on minorities.

Hmnmm. Wow. This was as tuffy. Mother Jones prognosticated on what the Democrat Party has already announced: They are over White People. The Democrat Party has no room for White People.

This is pure baloney. Trump never would have won the Presidency without Black and Hispanic votes plus a bunch of fed-up Dem votes.

I’m assuming that by crushing them you mean literally? If so I’m all in.

And to think that Lincoln was not seeking equality for blacks. I also recall discussion in my US history classes in high school that one main reason Lincoln wanted to abolish slavery was because Northerners wanted an end to blacks coming up into their areas via the underground railroad when escaping from it.

Racism is a straw man argument. Same as sexism and all the other isms. The talk of Trump's brash and in your face manner being unseemly for a president is hogwash. The democrats are all of that and much more.

Consider Anti-fa hoodlum bashing old men and women. Is our holding ourselves to a higher level than our opponents really virtue signaling for thumb suckers?

Such tripe. But written from a person who has reached the irrational conclusion that Republicans = racism.

I propose that the best counter-strategy for the GOP is to make it plain and simple. The GOP is the party of ideas. It doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, brown, gay, straight, bi, questioning, religious, athiest, recent immigrant or descendant from the Mayflower. The GOP is about political ideology, not race or background or personal life.

The Democrats, all they have is racial sub-division in the attempt to grab political power and economic control. The Republicans must be about devolution of power to the smallest political entity and personal and economic liberty.

With so many GOPe, it won’t be much more than a marketing slogan. But we can start with that and begin to build a new political establishment that believes in limited government and personal autonomy.

The whole premise of the article is a LIE! Lincoln was a Republican! The KKK was a militant wing of the Democrat party!

Antifa has taken the place of the KKK. "Antifa" is the perfect name, as long as people understand that it stands for "Anti-First-Amendment".

That’s a game breaker problem for them in a country still 70%+ white.

“Liberals need to be as Lincolnesque as possible in this endeavor—we don’t have to win the votes of unrepentent bigots, just the fretful fence-sitters—but we also need to be Lincolnesque in our commitment to winning America’s latest race war.”

Speaking of Lincolnesque: “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

Then why are Democrats campaigning in white states Iowa and New Hampshire?

A lot of people feel that the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary being first will be a thing of the past....due to the demographic changes in America.

Face it.....Demographics is Destiny....

Georgia, NC, Arizona are trending blue......Republicans are horrible at messaging and teaching/converting voters.

This is an empty call to arms considering the rate that blacks are killing each other in every major metro area in the country.

Leftist policies always seem to end up with the gulags and the camps. And the definition of “reactionary American white” is going to include a lot of surprised liberals and Democrats who believe that their rights and lives are safe.
