    Demographic change will not "destroy the GOP" because political parties adapt & the meaning of ethnicity changes over generations (see Irish/Italians/Jews in 20th century USA). In other words there's no reason to demonize or fear demographic change per se unless you are a racisthttps://twitter.com/sullydish/status/1528411170520145920 …

    "Making observations" lol. How about cheering on demographic change to destroy the GOP? As you have done relentlessly.

        There’s no way the GOP would be in power in Texas or Florida without substantial Latino support!

        It’s always astonishing to watch an immigrant make these arguments.

        Always remember that Andrew grew up in England Gay, Irish, and Catholic when one of those was de jure illegal, one was de facto illegal, and one was merely suspect. And he learned not a single goddamned thing about the persecution of minorities.

        There's two reasons that people vastly overstate the rate of demographic change in the US. One is the one you state, that the definition of "whiteness" changes over time as needed in order to ensure that "white people" can maintain their power. The other is the "one drop rule".

        Replying to @warren__terra @HeerJeet

        The census adheres to a notion of ethnic identity in which either you're white or you're not, and if you have even a little non-white heritage you're not. Neither of those ideas perfectly reflects how whiteness is lived in our society. More here:https://prospect.org/civil-rights/likely-persistence-white-majority/ …

        Also, of course, the implication that the voters must adapt to suit the GOP as opposed the GOP adapting to demographic shift is very telling

        Also maybe it makes more sense to view parties as there to serve the public and not vice versa?
