How are Democrats going to address white grievance in 2020? Clearly calling people "racist" and "deplorable" has worked well. Trump and the GOP have a great playbook now on flipping the script of identity politics.

There is a perception that white America has been losing its country and that whites are now facing discrimination. Claiming that anyone who feels that way is "racist" is likely to be counterproductive.

How will Democrats address the decline of Blue Collar jobs?
How will they promote the demographic shifts in the country as a good thing?
Will Democrats take the bait on Confederate monuments and flags and continue to equate them with slavery and racism?

Race is going to be bigger than ever in 2020. Trump really, really needs his base to show up enmasse to have a shot since Independents appear to have abandoned him. He is going to be drumming the white grievance issue for months and laying out traps for Social Justice Warriors to fly into in a fit of rage and confirm his allegations that white America is under attack. What strategy will Democrats employ not to have a repeat of 2016?

If Dems show up at the polls in 2020 as they did in the mid terms they will not need to address the poor, white uneducated. If those same folks lost their jobs do to manufacturing moving out I have one word for those whiners, retrain.

With this; "During the years of the Obama presidency, for instance, the percentage of Americans who identified as white and Christian declined from 54 to 43 — more than a percentage point every year. During this time, the United States “crossed from being a majority to a minority white Christian country,” Jones said. "

Replacement will effectively negate the white conservative vote. White Americans snoozed, now they lose.

Well that's the 'pull yourselves up by the bootstraps' argument the right wing always give to poor minorities: better yourselves, get an education, retrain, etc. But when it's white Jobs, we need to turn the clock back to steam powered trains because the coal miners need jobs.

In fact when technology moves forward, when times change, retraining is inevitable. Already in midwest and rustbelt states we see tradespeople learning to run solar grids, fix wind turbines and mix biofuels. Green jobs will provide plenty of opportunities for blue collar Americans. It won't change their 'white identity' overnight but may remove a lot of the bitterness.

Being listened to with compassion and not mocked would go a long ways, especially if there was some will to alleviate the suffering.

But look at how people who voted Trump get treated...

The Opposite.

1. Now that President Trump has caved to Nancy, some Republican bigwigs may ask him to step aside, and he may be very happy to return to business.

a. There's no shame in being a one-term president.

2. No, ethnicity will NOT be the major issue.

a. The main issue will be the Democratic Party's "progressive" platform, such as better medical care, more taxation on the "rich," etc.

3. The ethnic question has already been settled: By the middle of this century, Caucasian people will no longer be the majority. Everyone has accepted this fact. Many people are thrilled by this development. Those who are less than thrilled will simply have to do the best that they can under the new circumstances.

4. 2020 will be a blowout for the Democrats. Give the Devil His/Her due: They have done an outstanding job in destroying President Trump's presidency. They are already dancing in the streets over the President's capitulation regarding the Wall. The Democrats are singing: "Good times are here again."

Oh, yes, in about a hundred years' time, there is the distinct possibility that there will be a peaceful division of the nation, but that does not involve people who are living today.

LOL you really don't get it, do you?

Allow me to explain to you something. See this right here?

This is people of color telling White America to go **** itself.

This right here

is people of color telling White America EVEN LOUDER to go **** itself with a chainsaw.

We are now the majority of births, which means we will also soon be the majority of voters. I'm sure you can look at the voting patterns and see how that plays out.

In case you don't know how this plays out, it means that White America is under attack, muh man. And lemme tell you what - people of color cannot be bought, bullied or tricked by your shenanegans anymore. We do not feel pity, remorse, or fear. And we will not stop until White America IS OVERTHROWN and the era of treating people of color as second class citizens is put to an end, permanently.

So go ahead and scream about White America being under attack. That will never resonate with people of color ever again. We're coming to take White America down. And your dreams of winning people of color back have long sailed past the point of fantasy and into the fog of delusion. We're never coming back to the Republican Party. And you've even lost the ASIAN VOTE. How pathetic is that.

But wait, there's more.

See that right there? That's women telling White America to go **** off.

Women are already the majority of voters. Lose them and you soon lose everything.

Keep pandering to White America. White America is dwindling away. A new America is coming and short of nuking the world you will not stop it.

Enjoy.

Wow. This level of racism is frightening. The sexism is pretty bad, too. How do you stand when you have to carry so much hate?

It's not too surprising. The far left is easily as toxic for POC as the far right. They just are more deceptive about it and better at manipulating and buying the votes. The far right are more open about how little they care.

Something is definitely changing tho. The crazies out there are hiding their hate a lot less and being more blatant about the manipulation. Painting anyone with a red hats as wearing a white hood with a cloak of the confederate flag.

I guess if it works, go ahead. Your graphs do absolutely prove that long term self interests don't win against spoon fed lies.

The Opposite.

I agree the derision that is often directed at all trump voters is unfair. Many just wanted economic opportunity, better border security and more accountability in government.

They were duped, he offers none of these things. A tax cut for the rich and a 'booming' stock market has not helped the working poor, the wall is an impractical salve and his administration is the most corrupt in living memory.

But there are the other Trump voters - those who want to keep America white, put women 'in their place' and blame minorities and other religions for all their problems; the ones who hate moderates and progressives and get off on 'owning the libs'. They voted for just the right man because at his red-hat rallies he continues to serve them the cocktail of hate and fear that nourishes them.

Simple: open the borders, flood the country with Central and South Americans who will gladly vote for their communist agenda.

The only problem the Democrats have, is there are too many Americans in The United States.
 
Trump only won his election in 2016 due to thousands of votes in 3 blue states, because previous Obama voters in those states abstained from voting for Clinton. If the Democrats bind together, and support whoever the Nominee is in 2020, they can easily defeat Trump and the GOP. Now, of course Trump will make the 2020 election about race, as he did the 2018 mid-terms, and as he did in 2016 election. But, White Republican voters alone are simply NOT enough to win elections, as the 2018 mid-terms have clearly shown us. Trump's support among independents has dropped drastically, and he never had much support from them to begin with. Unlike the Democrats, who have proven they can win elections despite losing independents (see Obama's re-election in 2012), I've seen no proof that the GOP can win elections on the backs of their voters, while losing independents. If Trump and the GOP win in 2020, it will be precisely because Democrats yet again abstained from voting for their parties nominee. But if the 2018 mid-terms have shown us anything, that doesn't look like it will be the case.

And you will create concentration death camps for the illegals and invade Mexico. See, I can hyperbolize too.
 
My statement is reality. Yours is stupidity.

Yours is stupidity. His is an imitation of your post’s stupidity.

It is uncivil, it is stupid, it is the work of the uneducated because the educated would know better and I dont give two ****s how many degrees from where these Modern Morons who unload their moronic hate on Trump supporters have purchased.

I only read your first sentence.

I am in a bad mood now.

We don't really care what you think is racism or sexism. We vote and we will fight you into the dirt. Prepare to lose your country. You're the racist who wants to defend White America. We're coming to put an end to it. Deal with that. We don't want to live under your culture. We will destroy it, and nobody is listening to your lies anymore.

Get it? The more you make up your lies the harder we're going to work to bring you down. Keep talking with your right wing hatemongering garbage. Keep yapping.

You're just digging your grave even deeper.

LOL not for long. Minority births already outnumber whites, and especially white AmeriKKKans. The fact that you don't know the difference between whites and white AmeriKKKans is why you will also be caught unprepared for the white "traitors" also voting against you.

The problem you Republicans have is that there will soon PERMANENTLY be more Americans against you than for you. 2018 was not a fluke, it was a taste of things to come. The white American majority is coming to an end.

Yup, the rest of America is pissed off.

I hope that Democrats remember 2016 and remember to vote hard just like the right wingtards have done. Democrats need a spine, and they need to keep it. If they do, they can never lose again.

What? It's what republicans say all the time, pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Babysit, wash others clothes, tutor, mow lawns and all that other trash republicans spit out.

Thanks to planned parenthood, that'll never happen.

Now, in New York, they can kill babies right up to the due date. Couldn't think of a better place for late term abortion to be legal.

That is a tough one. It depends on how you define "white". More people who were traditionally defined as white are now self identifying as mixed racial as it has become safer to acknowledge one's heritage. Sometimes this is funny, like Elizabeth Warren claiming native ancestry. My father belonged to a reservation and I don't even claim to be Native American. But looking white is becoming less and less of a reason for people to identify as white. That is the scariest thing to the right wing. There is a rejection of white culture even among many people they identify as white. White culture is in a much faster decline because of this trend than births.

Sorry, but I have a minimum sanity requirement before I engage. So.. You know.. Good luck with that and all.
