Neocons did alot of work there, if you'll recall - which was a great idea...seems silly to blow it all up - but trumpism is silly, so I guess that tracks. You might think that there's some ground swell of minority support for the reich wing..but they seem to know better, judging by all the voter disenfranchisement bills. Who do you think has the better appraisal of the reality of that situation..you, or the guys running the numbers informing those policies?
Ultimately, they're polishing brass on the titanic, as the demographic change that is already swamping them isn't ethnic. It's the age of millenials - the most liberal voting bloc in modern american history. It isn't really going to be the hyper fecund invaders with calves the size of canteloupes ..or even their kids, that nail the coffin shut..it's the reich wingers own children. The ones that wont call or answer their calls anymore.
(im a little disappointed, honestly...we've had this exact convo multiple times, and at least once you seemed to acknowledge how silly the pretense was...and yet here we are, again..)
No need to be disappointed. By demographic changes, I'm not claiming that Latinos are not white. They are white. I simply meant it in the sense that for instance, white Armenians are a little different from white Irish or white Italians. White Latinos have their own culture/ political views to a degree much of the time, but they are still as white as anyone else. I'm not trying to dispute that. Latino voters being this evenly split between the Ds and Rs was maybe something that you saw coming, but no one else really predicted this before Trump ran for office. It's a pretty big shocker for most I would think.
