Demographics…

Well…read an interesting article this morning about the changing demographics in the US and if I were a repub, I’d be crapping my pants…look, we know that the repub party is a white peoples party no matter how much they halfheartedly try to appeal to non-white people…and you can see how much they don’t give a damn but the fact that after the idiot trump took over the RNC, the first thing they cut was their minority outreach programs and personnel…and they did that because idiot boy himself is such a racist that he couldn’t ever see that any minority is necessary…he sees them as less than him and he’ll never accept that they are necessary for this country to function…one of the points of the article was that the percentage of white voters is on an inexorable downward slide that is going to do nothing but accelerate and if the repubs want to continue contesting the presidency, they are going to need to do something to appeal to other than white people…but they can’t with the current people in charge…I mean just look at the two at the top of their ticket and the openly racist attacks on Haitians in Springfield, Ohio…and that is not going to endear these assholes to anyone but racist white people…so all I have to say is keep it up idiots…be who you are…geez…

Some good demographic news…

Well…with all of the insanity and hate coming out of repub party these days, and the illusion that they are taking over this country, an article I just read gives me hope that this is just temporary…when polling was done on political affiliation over the past few months, the only group that the repubs lead in is the over 65 folks…and that group is the one that they continue to kill off with covid by the constant anti vax bullshit that comes out of fox news on a daily basis…and the group that watches fox is the only one that is shrinking…with the greatest number of additional voters coming from the 18-29 year old group that overwhelmingly votes for dems…this demographic time bomb is paired with the fact that no one likes any repub policy…and the overturning of Roe by the supreme court brought needed attention to the rest of the bullshit they have been up to…I mean Missouri just passed a law that makes it a felony to cross dress or “drag” and perform in public…and that means that every trans person could be arrested for just living their lives…so, I have a little hope that enough voters that have at least one foot in the real world will continue to see the repubs for what they are and vote dem to boost the demographic train that is bearing down on them…geez…

This is interesting…

Well… just a short one on politics since the NCAA tournament is on…I’m not usually a basketball fan but who can resist right now? Okay… read a really interesting article this morning in some paper..not sure which one but the interesting part is that as the repubs tack further and further to the right, they are becoming the party of angry, old, white people, that feel that their time has passed and who will do anything to try to maintain their privileged place in the world. And, it does nothing but get worse for the repubs as the changing demographics of the population is taken into account; with their harsh rhetoric against immigrants, they have alienated the fastest growing segment of the population. The article was interesting in describing the groups that the repubs have offended in this campaign…starting with women, Hispanics, independents, and basically everyone other than their base…and the stupid thing is that appealing only to their base to get through the primaries, they are limiting themselves to about 30% of the electorate in the general election. But, it couldn’t happen to a better bunch…who would vote for ole Mitt when he stated the other day “oh, Planned Parenthood, we’ll get rid of that”….an organization that does more for women’s health needs than any other in the US….this pandering to the hard right, hate everyone but themselves group is going to guarantee a loss this fall…keep it up, guys…
