    Every four years during Republican National Conventions, the GOP audience and delegates shrink and shrink.

    Is it because of the GOP's overreliance on white people, the post-Reagan-Bush years, Trumpism, the decline of white Christians in America?

    America is moving socially liberal, but is still economically conservative. The media and culture lean left, but Americans are rightward on law, order, society.

    Don't you think?

    I think Democrats need to stop playing the race card.

    It's a sign that they don't take racism seriously. There are instances of racism, but if you call everything racist it loses it meaning in actual caese of racial discrimination.

    That is racist.

    But if you are really worried about the Republican party being too white, don't. We will be gaining a lot of minorities who don't want socialism.

    Christian white males over 60 don't last forever.

    Problem is that Republicans have not been the supporters of law, order and society for.... at least the last 40 years or so.

    Democrats don't have to seek minority racial groups since Republicans do a great job repulsing anyone other than old/ white/ uneducated. Perfect example is Asian-Americans. A Vietnamese-American Republican lost to a Latino-American Democrat [who was formerly a Republican] in a heavily Asian district in Orange county that had mostly voted Republican in the past. Asians did not support the Vietnamese woman because she was Republican in the era of Trump. The best recruitment for Democrats is Trump. I don't think there are any states trending Republican in comparison to Democrats. Just look at the Western U.S.

    It's because we've had a wide-ass open border for decades coupled with the 'free stuff' policies of the Donkey Party. It's no secret who and what those people vote for.

    Black and brown voters who trend Republican are seen as "traitors, coons, Uncle Toms, Sambos, acting white".

    They are in the "sunken place", "they do white people things", "they ain't black", they are not invited to the cookout, to a lot of black leftists.

    Funny you pick Jim Carrey. Ever see some of his cartoons about Trump? In-fact, are there any white entertainers who openly support Trump? :laughing:

    I believe percentage wise, both parties are shrinking. Most Americans are fed up with the status quo no matter which way you lean. The Dems are fragmented like never seen before. #Walkaway is real thing. Reality with the far left Dems left the building right along with Elvis.

    Well there's an apparent racial issue with white people and white Christians. Racism and bigotry runs deep in the Democrat party.

    Haven't seen Dennis MIller since Bill O'Reilly was fired from Fox News years ago. I understand that MIller lives incognito in Santa Barbara.

    Sweeping generalizations and more racism. Do non-white males or non-white females last forever?

    What kind of law allows you to pay for a Russian dossier and then let's you use it to spy on political opponents?

    Who has sanctuary cities, Republicans or Democrats? Seems odd that you accuse us of not supporting laws. Who is against free speech and the 2nd Amendment? Who doesn't see the obvious religious bigotry in the OP? You.

    Yes, but the GOP hasn't done anything to stop this. The Republican Party is seen as the white people party, the party of Staten Island, white cops, Tennessee, Florida, old geezers, etc. This is the GOP's image and with the Trumpification of the GOP, it hasn't done better.

    Any black or brown person who is not a leftist is a "Coon" or a "bedwench" in the eyes of a lot of people. Sad, but this is how they think.

    My family is of Mexican decent. We have Republicans and Democrats. Mostly Republicans. I can't explain why anyone would vote Democrat.

    What should puzzle Republicans is that heavily Anglo states [ie.Oregon/ Washington] are Democratic strongholds. Probably due to the high number of college graduates.

    More likely due to the higher use and/or decriminalization of weed. :roflol:Also, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

    I guess you should be threatened by the increasing number of states legalizing marijuana. Another constituent group who reject Republicans.

    You mean everyone knows that Republicans are becoming extinct on the West Coast? But you can treat yourself to some super-weed when on vacation here.

    No thanks. Florida grows some of the best weed out there. "Blew My Mind" isn't just the name of a hybrid flower Blue Daze.
