Republicans

Reading another Republican who is shocked that the party establishment is out to sink the Tea Party.

Reminds me of the glaring demographic facts of the last election, which the Republicans refuse to acknowledge, much less confront, that 90% of Romney's voters were White.

Which means that only Whites have any attachment to traditional America, even the Romney version.

Another way to put it is that the only group who did not give Obama a huge majority of their votes is Whites (see bottom graph). Even in California, a majority of Whites (55%) voted Republican.

In fact, if only Whites could vote, no one else, this is how the electoral map of 2012 would have looked:

All the others were massively pro-O. And the 40% of Whites who really make the difference, including high-profile minorities like Jews, gays, etc also sacrificed in droves on the altar of Hope and Change 2.0


% of the 2012 electorate                      % of Dem/Rep votes by race

Whatever else this undeclared Civil War is about, it's about race. Like it or not.
