Ultimately, while Lilla currently might be right, the demographic trends are on the SJW’s side. There will be too many non-whites who buy into the arguments of identity politics and those who are alienated by these tactics will be far outnumbered by its adherents.
“Ultimately, while Lilla currently might be right, the demographic trends are on the SJW’s side.”
Actually, it’s not. In the 1970s, the leftists said that whites would be a minority by 2000. Whites still make up 70% of the population.
Families with children have deserted big, liberal cities by the 10s of millions, causing big cities to lose political power and population. Those families have created a strong and vibrant exurbia with jobs and wealth. Big, liberal cities are dying or dead.
Abortions have stymied the rise of both the black and brown populations in America. The number of births among Mexicans, both illegals and American citizens, has fallen and leveled off since 2007.
Once the alien invasion is stopped, there will be no “demographic trends on the SJW’s side.”
