[quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=Anonymous]When the current wave of elderly racists die off in a decade or two, the character of American elections is going to change radically.  And the GOP is going to have to find some new fulcrum with which to leverage their ultimate goal, which is lowering the civic burden on wealthy people.  In a couple of decades, the number of whites who harbor racial resentments will be insufficient.  So they'll move on to something else.  Most likely that will be a matter of discarding the implicit racism in order to form a broader coalition of religious conservatives.  Black suburban churchgoers, Catholic Hispanics, and White evangelicals are a natural coalition, but the current dog-whistle politics that count on the racist vote makes that an impossibility.[/quote]
I say this based on inadequate examination of evidence, but I don't think they're that addicted to racism. It's obviously helping them now, but we won't have that many black presidents.

I think that other than the very rich and a very small libertarianish intellectual elite, the Reps are bound together by a handful of ideas, some expressed more explicitly than others:
- God is a Republican
- rich people are inherently heroic and admirable
- smart and educated people can't be trusted
- urban blacks and hispanics are leaching off of rural whites
- Dems are soft on criminals and weak on defense

I think most of those ideas will persist even as we become less racist and homophobic as a country. The power of Faux and of the corporate political advertising money is immense.[/quote]
