More Fear of a Non-White Planet: How the GOP is killing the GOP
- Dumb motherfuckers can't even spell "border." Damn.
From [HERE] The Republicans often have succeeded by convincing white straight voters to fear blacks, gays, immigrants, and anyone else who cynically can be categorized as Other, even as Republican policies emptied those voters' bank accounts into theirs and those of their patrons. The Republicans now know nothing else. They are divorced from basic honesty and decency, and they clearly care little if at all about others. Lying and fear-mongering and using any means possible to gain and hold power is their basic primal mode of operation. They play their voting base for suckers. They have for decades. But what they didn't anticipate was that their base would steadily diminish demographically, leaving them with no path to electoral future success unless they change the very nature of who they are.
America is growing racially more diverse, and that is changing the electoral map. But even as the public supports humane immigration reform, the Republicans continue to crush dreams. And then they ask if immigration will kill the GOP?
Evidently, while the panel’s speakers see unrepentant Nativism and immigrant-bashing as the way for the GOP’s electoral success, it mainly appealed to the CPAC attendees who feared the demise of White America and the emergence of a more diverse population. All four panelists agreed that unless the Republican Party embraces their hard line anti-immigrant stance, the GOP will become inextricably weakened and the country will dissolve into multicultural dystopia.[more HERE]]
