The GOP Racist Strategy Destined To Lose In The End.

The GOP will lose in the end. The Southern strategy almost has to lose because of demographics eventually. As the rural areas empty and more people move to the cities and as minorities grow in population the GOP will be left with no where to go. It is impossible to stop the nation from becoming more diverse. It may work now and has worked for a generation. But by mid century it looks like things will change drastically.

Yes, near extinction would qualify as drastic. Otherwise, spot on dude!

must be abolished, because more cataclysmic weather events will evidently relocate more people into the US.

I am with you in spirit, but because of the theft of the 2000 election by GWB and now Trump's collusion with Russia, they have managed to tilt the balance of power in ways that will be hard to fix. Gerrymandering, the gutting of Voting Rights and weakening of campaign finance laws have put us in a very bad place. Gorsuch was a huge blow. There is a potential second pick on the horizon for Trump or whoever the corrupt GOP replaces him with one he is impeached, croaks or has a complete public breakdown.

I hope we can come back from this, but it is going to be a long, hard road.
