George Bush did well with the Hispanic vote (44%). He didn't take a majority but pulled in some legitimate support. That was because he did not use them as scapegoats and actually showed them some respect. Romney took 27%. After the beating in 2012, Republicans swore they would reach out to Hispanics
Instead, they decided to pander to the fear mongerers and block all immigration reform
The lost Hispanic votes may take a generation to win back. Lose those votes and you lose Florida, Arizona and even Texas
It will ensure the next Republican President hasn't been born yet
The future you describe, due to demographic shift.
It is a disaster.
Being anti-immigration is not "using them as scapegoats" but supporting good policy for America.
However, the way you lie about it, multiplied by a million libs in the media and pop culture, and we see a big part of why the GOP is never going to win the Hispanic vote no matter what we do.
Keep blaming people who are not at fault, RW.
It will help wake up those fools who don't see this coming.
Its not a disaster...life will go on
It will just go on without Republican leadership
Oh, it's certainly a disaster.
YOu have not only all the problems associated with a ONe Party State, ie corruption, lack of accountability, over reach, ect.
BUT THE party in question supports policies that discriminate against the largest single ethnic group, whites. (see disparate impact theory and new haven fire fighters)
AND, when the leftist agenda is questioned, the standard lefty response is to demonize the questioner as a racist.
This leads to scenario, where increasingly the Whites will be seeking redress for their issues and just grievances and the response they will get will be to be insulted and attacked.
Eventually with speech codes, punished by the law for saying Politically Incorrect speech.
Meanwhile minorities will be constantly and increasingly told that those who are opposing them politically have no valid reason and are just vile racists.
There will be no chance of dialog across the vast gulf already created and growing every day.
IN the context of corrupt and incompetent government and a population that is increasingly looking like LA and Detroit and less like Suburbia.
That feeling you have to put the blame on Republicans?
That is the part of your mind that sees it coming and is preparing for you to cope with the horrific cost of your victory by blaming Republicans.
