Somewhere in the 70's and early 80's they figured out that they needed a better demographic hook so they sold out to the religious right. A gang of evangelical nut jobs who want to shove jesus up everyone's asshole.
That alliance continues but it is aging and they will not or cannot adapt to the new demographic realities of the country. Hence they continue to insult women, blacks and latinos at almost every turn.
Recognizing this they have turned to what is euphemistically called "voter suppression tactics" to prevent minorities from voting to the greatest extent possible.
"Whites" are not - and have never been - a single voting block.
Well, obviously they want things to be as they are. They are conservatives for a reason, they wish to be the majority. I don't know what is so wrong with that as it is evident that the blacks and other minorities seem to hoarding their votes on a single party, I can't really blame them. If adaptation requires you to suck up to minorities, you're little more than a populist, though the republicans try to suck up to the religious people. They both suck up to someone and have no spine obviously.
Whites have never been a single voting block, but mark my words, that could change once the racial tensions start to rise. I'm counting on the fact that the minorities will band together to actually form a majority over the whites, and then bicker among themselves and eventually fail.
