    Default The demographic shifts disrupting the political world

    2016 was the christer honkys last hurrah

    A shrinking white America
    America's majority minority future has elevated identity politics and immigration: 2020 will be the first time Hispanic voters make up the electorate's largest minority group.

    Since 2010, non-Hispanic white people have lost their majority in 32 additional U.S. counties, according to census data. Texas and Nevada have become majority minority since 2000.

    The great rural exodus
    The world is urbanizing, bringing housing, health care, transportation and energy concerns. Meanwhile, rural America is in the middle of a downward spiral.

    As the overall population grows, the percentage of Americans living in urban areas rose faster, translating to 46 million more people in urban areas since 2000.
    States with the highest population density tend to be Democratic and coastal. New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maryland have the highest population densities, according to World Population Review.
    Around a quarter of Americans are now unaffiliated with religion as the white Christian population — which is largely Republican — declines, according to Pew Research.

    In 2018, 41% of the population identified as white and Christian, down from 54% in 2008, according to the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI). White evangelicals in particular fell from 21% of the population to 15% in the same time period.
    Millennial and Gen Z Americans are sticking with the Democratic Party as they move through adulthood.

    people don't vote based on race. the identity politics divide and conquer program has failed. they're the racists.

    People vote based on race all of the time. The closed curtain voting booth provides anonymity from being "outed".

    The conservative strategy is to make sure votes of brown people are surpressed, diminished by gerrymandering, and that white people's and rural resident's votes are given disproportionate influence

    By SCOTUS decision, all congressional districts are proportionate in number.

    Get back to me when there are no black and no Hispanic gerrymandered majority minority districts. No state has a majority of either race yet many districts throughout the country have black or hispanic majorities. Guess gerrymandering is OK as long as black and brown have the majority.

    Still amazing these uneducated meth'd up crackas are somehow able to figure out how to vote and educated liberals supposedly can't. Definitely a conundrum.

    People said that about Millennials too, but they turned out to be very political.

    But we had internet and video games.

    The truth is, every generation has the same complaints about the next generation. It's always they're lazy, they're selfish, they're entitled, they don't care about society, blah blah blah.
    One of the reasons Republicans are becoming increasingly Fascist is because they know America is shifting to the Left again and winning by democratic elections will be impossible unless they change.
