It's not their endgame, it's the result of the Left's endgame.

And not for nothing, but it won't just be the Christians in there. It will be the rich elites including dems and pubs. It will be Elysium.

I don’t speak for the Republican Party. I just see this happening. People will act when they fear for their children and their way of life and it won’t be pretty. My advice would be a peaceful separation.

You are right. it will be a Brown Christian majority as Hispanics become the majority in America.

It will be a white Christian majority country in my lifetime.

But truthfully, I don’t care what the racial makeup of this country is. It’s all the same to me.

Here's a link to a somewhat different point of view from. (of all sources), Microsoft "News"

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...1ma?ocid=msnew

Admittedly, I live in a 95% white, 90% Protestant, 60% German-surnamed community (pop 1800); but most of us have spent a considerable time away for college, military service, etc. -- or work in the "new workplace" where everyone is a minority by one standard or another, or hold jobs which keep us on the road at least part of the time. I'm only 16 miles away from the textbook example of Hazleton, PA and a steady succession of distribution warehouses lining Interstate Route 81, replacing the coal mines of two generations ago with retirement communities.

To summarize, most of us are well aware of what's going on out there, and with the uncommon instance of the occasional (pay attention, Mr bawac) Bible-thumper, we are not much concerned about it.

When I was younger, more mobile and less settled, I used to spend most of my vacations "riding the dog" -- traveling on an unlimited use Greyhound pass; just as a reminder that the real world is a lot different from my little enclave; (and a whole lotta other little enclaves). From what I see at this site every day, a lot of our sheltered Snowflakes could benefit from a similar exposure.

For it is the young, and the "woke" young in particular, who seem to be perpetually in search of a secure echo chamber; I doubt they'll ever find it.

Oh, the irony.

It's ironic that the group that constantly calls everyone else snowflakes demands their own country with a wall because they are too sensitive to share a society with people who believe different from them.

It’s increasingly difficult here to discern whether a poster is being honest, trolling or they’re really a foreign agent spreading disinformation.

The thing is: A good portion of Hispanics are White or White-leaning and Bi-Racial Black/White people mixing with White people will just produce more White people in the long run(See: Halsey and Meghan Markle's child.)

And the Black population is stagnant and Asian immigration outside of India and Pakistan has slowed down over the years.

The whole hysteria that America won't be majority White that both Leftists and White Nationalists alike seem to be obsessed with(albeit for different reasons) is pure fantasy.

Now, the Christian argument is slightly different because Blacks and Hispanics have a higher percentage of devout Christians than Whites on average and stats have shown this. In fact, a Pew Research report showed a report that a higher % of Black people agreed with bakeries not baking cakes for Gay/Lesbian weddings for religious reasons than White people.

Young White people are pretty damn secular. Maybe not as secular as their European counterparts but getting there. Hell, my girlfriend(White) considers herself a Christian and she regularly drinks, smokes pot, curses, etc. But she's still close with her church and knows the Bible so there's that.

All and all, this whole "demographic change" in the USA is pure hysteria. It started to get purported a lot back in the late 2000's/early 2010's when illegal immigration was a hotter topic than it was today and Arizona passed the controversial SB 1070 law. But the data seems to suggest that America will remain majority White, especially when more White Hispanics get accepted as regular White people and Bi-Racials start to marry into the White community more.

To be clear, one doesn’t need to be White or Christian to subscribe to the ideology. But by and large, the vast majority who experience White Panic are themselves White and Christian.

In response to this threat, conservatives are abandoning the national conversations that matter to Americans today. Instead of focusing on repairing the economy, renewing our infrastructure, ensuring Americans are healthy and prepared for the pandemics down the road, conservatives have started a media campaign to position CRT as their defining issue. One simply has to look at the number of CRT discussions in conservative media (including this website). Conservatives are using CRT to define an ethno-nationalist agenda to keep this a White, Christian majority country, or at least that is the implied promise if you vote for them.

But America will not be a White, Christian majority country. The demographics are clear. The sooner White, Christian conservatives can accept this, the sooner our country can work together on issues that are truly important to the average American: the economy, healthcare, education debt, infrastructure, the pandemic.

Tensley is part of CNN's Race Deconstructed team, so sure, he'd attribute concern about and opposition to CRT to White Panic and Fear, especially among White Conservative Republican Christians {the enemy}.
