    Noah Smith Retweeted Sen. Eric Brakey

    When Republicans started to believe in racial bloc voting - when they stopped believing that nonwhite people could ever be persuaded to vote Republican - they started to see immigration as an invasion. This explains why immigration is now at the center of partisan conflict.https://twitter.com/SenatorBrakey/status/1056540826317283328 …

    Why did California turn Blue? Why is Texas turning Blue? The left has failed at selling socialism to the American people for decades. We have rejected it. Their new strategy is mass importation of new voters to transform our political culture.

        Of course, the belief in ethnic bloc voting becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. When a slight Dem tilt among Hispanics and Asians caused the GOP to turn against them, Hispanics and Asians shifted more toward the Dems. Etc. etc. A self-reinforcing cycle.

        Bush's 2006 amnesty attempt, and the 2013 intra-GOP fight over immigration reform, were two moments when the GOP could have turned back to the approach of Reagan, and courted Hispanics and Asians. But they decided against this, and...here we are.

        What will disrupt this bad equilibrium, and save American politics from being an eternal race war? Either: A) More white voters will grow disgusted with the GOP approach and defect, or B) The GOP will find some non-immigration-related issues to attract more Hispanics and Asians.

        As long as both parties see elections in terms of racial bloc voting - where the only way to win is to increase turnout among your own racial blocs or suppress turnout by the other party's racial blocs - American politics will not improve, and the country will decline. (end)

        Come on Noah, this is too one sided and a bit Strawman... you don’t think there are any legit concerns reps have on immigration? And that the dems didnt also “believe” in racial bloc voting? I see your point 40 years ago, but now....

        In fact I think it was Dems (Judis and Teixeira) who started the meme. But it was the GOP who got scared.

        1) the idea that Republicans and Democrats are equally guilty of this is absurd. 2) it also completely ignores the benefits of Democrats being more responsive to minority voters: that they are more likely to meet the needs of those voters.

        What you are ignoring is the degree to which the GOP - much of which LOVES immigration - has become the Party of the South, which is made up of racist/nationalist voters (has been since before the CW). A majority of the party hated GWB for his attempt to pivot.

        The only way to really solve the issue is to fulfill the fears of the right. Massively increase immigration and make America have a strong non-white majority. That will force the GOP to actually drop racism if they ever want to win a election.

        Not really, unless you believe in racial tribalism is more important then universal values. You would rather forsake the constitution in order to keep a majority of vanilla losers.

        Frankly replacing the whites of Mississippi, Alabama and West Virginia with immigrants is a good idea. One is hard-working and industrious the other are nihilistic losers who offered this country nothing but hate.
