[quote=Anonymous]  The idea that the regressives are even remotely capable of having a come-to-jesus moment is fiction of the highest order. Here's one thing that's seldom discussed here and elsewhere in the politcosphere : The vast majority of white people in this country are born, raised and die whilst having personal, social and professional circles made up entirely of people who look like them. In other words; they---more than any other group--- live in thick bubbles wherein views are shared and reinforced.

The above has meant that republicans find themselves overwhelmingly reliant of these people ( the white vote) more than any other politician, especially the non-white ones. Furthermore, at some point, republicans simply realized they didn't actually need to compete on policy and ideological coherency but that they could weaponize their demographic majority by peddling one form or another of 'whiteness'. See richard nixxon southern strategy. See reagan's ' welfare queens driving cadillacs'.

The problem is, since nixxon and reagan, a lot of things have changed in all facets of our lives. One of those is demographic changes but guess who hasn't changed? guess who's still doubling down on the same failed policies that, ironically or unironically paved the way for the tectonic demographic changes we're seeing today? Yes, these same white men. They are stuck in traps of their own making, the culture wars that they unnecessarily and gratuitously waged since the 70s are going to swallow them.  They have no other choice but to double down, they've made themselves prisoners of their   white electorate largely because they share the same views.[/quote]
