Nelson Mandingo posted:Nah this isn't the big one and the GOP isn't going to go away. It'll just change. There are really two scenarios that play out. Nope, there's option 3: The GOP gets stuck as the white supremacist party, goes away, and in a few years the Democratic Party splits again like they did 150 years ago. You don't hear anyone call themselves Whigs after all.

Nevvy Z posted:Going from 08' 09' on is the general shift from red to blue a difference in who they are choosing to deport, or what pretense to do it under? It's counting "people turned away at the border itself" as a deportation.

Nevvy Z posted:Hmm? That's interesting but sounds like why it jumped after Bush. I'm talking about the shift towards more criminal deportations. Are they counting more things as 'criminal' or are they making an effort to focus on deporting people committing real crimes? Oh, yeah that's a little weirder. I guess it would depend specifically on the definition of criminality, or maybe if they were deported for being a foreign national and committing a crime versus just being a foreign national.

SedanChair posted:These right-wingers who hate Hillary are dying, and Democrats actually like her. You have been spending too much time huffing right wing media farts and have come to believe in the same delusions they have. Which is why I never really got "hate watching" rightwing media. You inevitably turn into the same sort of fearful wreck that the rest of their audience becomes, except the only reason you'd buy a gun is to kill yourself.

Call Me Charlie posted:It's pretty hilarious how if you point out that 'eh, maybe people don't like Hillary as much as you think', you get bombarded by people trying to get you banned or put money on the line over it. Except the mantra for years has been how terrible Hillary is and no one likes her. Case in point: quote:Now imagine that on a national level with Hillary (a lame centrist continuation of Obama)

No it doesn't, and it especially doesn't for Hispanics who have been trying to be seen as white for the better part of 100 years.

PT6A posted:Well, Nonwhite Hispanics are going to have a gently caress of an uphill battle, but I can see a pretty clear path for white Hispanics to be considered fully white (to the point where being Hispanic is not held against them) in the next decade or so. Arguably it's already well underway. White Cuban-Americans like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are not really being attacked on the basis of their heritage, and I'm guessing Spaniards, and Mexicans of pure Spanish heritage don't get poo poo on the same as Mestizos do, even if they don't speak 'Murican and follow the Pope. Good thing that Mestizos are the vast majority of Mexicans (who themselves are the vast majority of Hispanics) or else that might be an issue. Yes, there will be conservative Hispanics that (continue to) exist. This doesn't mean Ronald Reagan part 2 is going to bring all of the youth over to the Republican side.

point of return posted:I forget, how much of this is "the Blue Dogs all lost, the remaining Dems are still basically where they were" and how much is a genuine leftward shift? Why is the former not evidence of the latter? The Dixiecrats leaving was definitely a leftward shift for the Democratic Party.
