Exactly. Frankly, I don't GAF about all that wailing and whining about Ted Kennedy. I'm frankly glad that they got rid of the national quotas that discriminated against Asian and Latin American voters.
Voters? Foreigners are "voters"?
There you go, folks. Foreigners are entitled to vote in our elections. That's what the immigration thing is all about: bringing foreigners here to exercise their "right" to vote to take our country away from us.
Sure, Toad Kennedy was too honest to deliberately mislead us! It was pure coincidence that what he assured us would NOT HAPPEN as a result of the 1965 immigration changes, was precisely what did happen:
--"Our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually."
--"The ethnic mix of this country will not be upset..."
--"(The Immigration Bill) will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area..."
--"The (Immigration) bill will not permit the entry of subversive persons, criminals, illiterates, or those with contagious disease or serious mental illness."
So Democrats were either so stupid that they couldn't see that opening our border to Mexico would result in a tidal wave of Hispanics, or they were too corrupt to admit that it was the plan all along to obtain total political power. Either way, the native-born Working Class was utterly betrayed by those claiming to represent them.
Ted Kennedy wasn't stupid he was lying to the American people. And those in this forum b*tching about Asians and Latinos supposedly being discriminated against 50 freaking years ago need to stop as that hasn't been the case for decades now and in fact most immigrants both legal and illegal are of the above two ethnicities. Yet they continue to whine? What happened to diversity? I guess they don't give a damn about that just as long as their ethnic group can keep pouring into our country unabated.
Even the European immigrants prior to Ted Kennedy's immigration act were diversified. They were the Brits, Irish, Polish, Germans, Italians, etc.
I intend to do what I can to stop the President from being reelected. However, he has an excellent chance and a great election strategy. There are enough white people in the states he needs to win: Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, and Wisconsin to put him over the top. He can afford to lose Pennsylvania and Michigan this time and still hold on. I don't see the Democrats cracking any of the states the President's must win. In fact, the state polls I have seen so far look pretty good for the President.
However, I don't the President's 2020 strategy working forever. As soon at 2024 the Republicans are going to need some new voters.
It's hard to get worked up about chain migration when Trump railed against it while bringing Melania's family here.
There is no qualitative parity between the family of a billionaire's wife and the family of a refugee who decided to abuse the system by "fleeing poverty" to be on welfare here or whose tribe (extended family) is so mentally unhinged that they can't stop from slaughtering one another whenever given the opportunity.

IMO the demographic changes are more that Trump supporters tend to be old Boomers like Trump that long for the '50s when white men ruled the home, the church and the country.
Everyone wants that. Including immigrants. Which is the single reason why they come here: to gain the benefit of living in a society that White men largely run. Denial of that fact is to not know or otherwise not have the guts to admit who one is.

Look at their priorities: making abortion illegal,
The drive to make all murder illegal, let alone baby murder, is one of the core benefits of living in "White man's" society. Everything else is a moral step toward the chaotic hell that most migrants arrive here to flee.

overturning gay marriage (a third of Trump's judges are publicly anti-gay),
Gay marriage is new, was instituted undemocratically (by judicial decree) and therefore is not a pillar of this society. Its a momentary lapse in judgement that is destined to be reversed with 100% certainty. There is not a single thing wrong with advocating for a reversion to normal marriage laws in this age of widespread social failure that homosexual marriage is correlated with.

strengthening the church's role in government,
You may not get called out on pure nonsense in whatever liberal forum you frequent, but here you will. What role does Church have in government in the United States? Zero. None, Nada. There is nothing to "strengthen" because it doesn't exist. Morality is objective and does not require religion to justify it, nor does morality imply a religious association. Give us a break. And if it did, you'd essentially be aligning yourself with what traditional religion labelled to be evil. You're better off not associating your opposition with the traditional religious view of the Good. But if you wish to anyway, be my guest. But don't expect us to accept that this constitutes a "church role in government". The Church is against murder of adults as well. Does that mean that homicide laws constitute a Church's role in government?
Quote:
reducing even legal migration.
There is no obligation, moral or otherwise, to maintain immigration. Immigration has to serve the entire nation, or it isn't justified. Moreover, democrat views on the issue will always be naturally tainted by the fact that low and higher class immigrants alike give them votes. Meaning that the Democrats can't be held to be doing what is right for this nation by supporting high immigration levels.

As this generation ages, their impact on elections will naturally decrease.
This is the same statement that's been made for generations. I can't figure out if liberals actually believe this or if its intentional propaganda.
The fact is that due to a high degree of emotional reasoning and lesser impulse control, less life experience, and being fresher to communist indoctrination given to them in the school system, modern young White people skew liberal and then begin to drift to the Right as they age. They become less emotionally vulnerable to manipulation, and gain more experience with people, politics, and the ways in the world works in general.
This is always going to be the case. That there is some static generational propensity toward one party of the other is either a deliberate or naive myth. As the older generation ages out of being able to get themselves to the voting stations, the newer generation will begin to come of age and become ever more conservative. And no new generation is going to be as liberal as the Boomers are.

Further, Trump and the GOP have become increasingly misogynistic. They wouldn't let even one woman on the GOP health care committee. Not even ONE woman. There are only 8 GOP women in the Senate vs. 17 Democratic women. There are only 13 GOP women in the House vs. 88 Democratic women.
I'm quite sure that isn't the meaning of misogyny. You may wish to watch your definitions lest readers begin to gain classist views of education.

Trump and his supporters have decided farmers and coal miners should get billions of taxpayer dollars while they leveraged SALT limits that impacted the suburbs. Look what happened to the number of GOP in California after Trump's tax plan passed. CA voters decided if their own GOP representatives were going to raise their taxes, they may as well get rid of them and they did.
Inland States are largely low cost, lower salary, low tax (and Red) and won't be much affected by the new bill. The Southern Coastal (GOP) States tend to skew toward low State and property taxes and so will be less affected by the new tax bill. Wealthy coastal states are no where near going Red and so are a natural tax target for the GOP. The New Tax Bill will encourage wealth to leave States like California, which have been long engineered to be dominated by a wealthy super-class, maintain as little of a middle class as possible, and to harbor a massive illegal / slave-wage labor class. It will encourage local political pressure on States with runaway State tax rates, like California, to lower them. The beginning of that process may be a shift from a high State tax burden on everyone to higher property taxes on what are almost universally wealthy (at least on paper) California property owners. This will at least appease renters and take some of the political tax pressure off of politicians in the short term. That's okay because Califorrnia Property Taxes are artificially low, again, as a means to encouraging an elite class at the expense of the middle class (who are often renters in California)

While Trump supporters thrive on "owning the libs", demographically, that is temporary and Democrats have a lot to look forward to when the reckoning comes. We no longer have to be concerned with angering half the country, in fact, after this we can say "owning the cons" is perfectly just.
Why is "the reckoning" underlined with no link or further explanation as to what you are talking about?
Given the genocidal history of communist "reckonings" in the 20th century in Russia and China, your phrasing sounds like a threat of violence. You should clarify, be more careful, or not complain when conservatives take the common sense steps to prevent so called "reckonings". With threats like these, you cannot either blame anti-immigration sentiment nor can you claim a moral let alone civic justification for immigration.
And a reckoning for what? For building one of the greatest nations that this world has seen and inviting the world to participate on a level never before seen? Yes, that seems to require punishment. If you get your reckoning, good luck with your eventual third world nation. If you don't, you may eventually come to wish that your party wasn't so generally threatening in this period.
I would say maybe you're 100% correct that is until you look at the Dem field. Bernie, Warren, and Joe B aren't exactly ringing the bell to capture this demographic shift.
It isn't just in presidential elections. Elections for local and state candidates are critical, as are Congressional elections. Once reliably Republican Orange County, CA has flipped its Congressional representatives to nearly all Democratic ones in 2018.
Republicans are going to be aghast at how extensive this phenomenon is. Johnson County, KS is already swarming with Asians. I am already expecting KS to gradually become a swing state. And the most heavily republican areas are the ones that are depopulating. Could you imagine the reaction of republicans if Kansas started becoming competitive?
"Swarming" Rather telling choice of words, sounds like something a racist would say.
BTW, according to the U.S. Census, Johnson County, KS had 5.2% Asians in 2018 while the US has .7% more at 5.9% far from your disgusting comment of swarming. I guess for someone who lives in a virtually all white county, 79.7% non hispanic white while the US is 60.4% non hispanic white, a tiny bump of *gasp* a minority could be scary. Stay in Kansas.
Over the last 3.5-years, it's become glaringly obvious to every rational American that the Dems care only about damaging the duly elected POTUS, regardless of the damage to America or their own failure to accomplish anything else. Yet, in spite of their 'best' efforts, they and the biased-media have repeatedly 'shoot themselves in the foot' with their POTUS-hating antics. It's only getting worse for them, with no end in sight!
They defeated themselves in 2016 and every sign says they are headed for an even worse defeat in 2020. By the time Trump leaves office in 2024 via term-limits, the left may finally realize that their un-American abuses are apparent to all. But, by then, they will be facing another Republican Presidential candidate! Will the derangement start all over??

You are clearly desperate to find something to attack me on.
