1/ Trying to get a broad historical picture on Republicans (from at least 1965 onward) & all I can say is 1994 was squandered. Maybe Newt didn’t foresee demographic picture (census won’t hit til 2000). Or maybe he did, I don’t know. The issues of his day were highlighted in...

4/ That was the ideal time to turn off the spigot of mass immigration: would help wages rise for first time since 70s, everyone would be behind you cause muh nation at war w/ terror, Dems would be forced to play w/ electorate they have, not replacement ppl, could cut welfare more

5/ which would make white people happy & probably guarantee hegemony for decades. But no: that’s not “who we are.” Cheap labor for rich ppl & muh principles like free trade & nation of immigrants is what we got instead. More of the ppl who hit us in the country now than in 2001.

6/ But the NRO was happy. Bush wasn’t crass like Blormpf. He was a “true conservative”, starting wars illegally & bungling hurricane relief & spending trillions of dollars of our money on god only knows what culminating in the worst Econ crash since the depression. Responsible!

7/ What a mess. Fiscally irresponsible, internationally irresponsible, domestically irresponsible. God damn George W Bush & all the rest of them. All of those fuck ups & what do we have to show for it? “Whites will be a minority by 2045”. Well played GOP. Well played. /end

Ah just as a reminder how disgusting Neocons are, here is David Frum teasing them- even mocking the Paleocons, hiding behind 9/11 to make his point. https://web.archive.org/web/20031205032059/http://www.nationalreview.com/frum/frum031903.asp …

"It's odd: 9/11 actually vindicated some of the things that the paleos had been arguing, particularly about immigration and national cohesion. But the paleos were in no mood to press their case. Instead, they plunged into apologetics for the enemy and wishful defeatism." -D.Frum

The gall of this dork: "Well, actually 9/11 should have been your time to shine, Paleos! We could have met halfway on the immigration debate as it pertained to national security. But you threw it all away with your anti-war stances."

He also spent a portion of that very piece passive-aggressively impugning the motives of those who made migration a core issue.Xenoskeptics Fleming and Francis were attached to Chronicles,which"championed the Southern Confederacy of the 1860s and the anti-civil rights resistance"

Pat Buchanan may have had a point on immigration, but it was too bad that "he wished only to "get clear" of those high-school graduates who had been born with dark skins." The immigration debate was dead before it was born, with "allies" like this pulling the GOP's strings.
