AZ is turning purple from demographics

@TMatthews good point. Checking NumbersUSA is a good idea.

Kinda strange to think that cali was Reagan red 40 Ish years ago.

Yeah

Reagan screwed Cali with demographics

"Conservatives" sure seem to love amnesty. 🤔

True. Alot of these alt lighters tend to forget that. <:really:453005408064241674>

Considering Trump is a New York "Republican", I was afraid he was going to cuck on DACA (and I guess he still could).

That would be another "conservative" giving amnesty to millions of browns.

Dems allow them in, Conservatives give them amnesty so they don't look "Racist" <:really:453005408064241674>

I'm sure all those illegals will become fiscal conservatives and vote red once they can stop worrying about being deported /s

Now you're thinking like a proper boomercon!

@Ben Rainsford - OH Don't you know they already were when the first came here! Only after the racist Dems got to them did their love for free markets dwindle away

I wish it was just a boomer thing. My housemate is legitimately convinced that once they get off the Democrat's "plantation", minority voters will realize that small government and free markets are awesome

DR3 baby!

Democrats are the real Democrats.

So all of a sudden, they will go from 93% Democrats to voting red? 🤔 <:sad:366743316475281408>

"muh magic plantation"

The Vultures are circling already.

We had a discussion about immigration the other day, and I figured bring up the bio diversity stuff wouldn't get very far. Essentially I couched my argument as "influx of highly fertile immigrants means you're kids will be competing for fewer jobs and scholarships with an increasing number of people."

Same reason Cheney moved to Wyoming. These people are power hungry.

@Ben Rainsford - OH Oh yeah that's a good argument.

"Democrats, attracted to it's growing Hispanic population"

But race is a social construct!!!!!!!

He response was litterally just; "Well I think increased competition will only make things better."

How do you get through to these people

@Ben Rainsford - OH Scholarships that your white children are at a disadvantage to get due to affirmative action...

it isn't competition when one person gets crippled

The cult of competition. They promise to work overtime so long as everyone else has to.

It's a competition to the bottom. Gov is going to subsidize and help out the lowest common denominator because of their race. Competition ceases being good when it's stacked against you

yep

The Democrats have accelerated that race to the bottom over the past 8-10 years.

And especially in the past 2.

@Ben Rainsford - OH I think the racial aspect is really critical. Until they understand the importance of race, they can pretty easily rationalize anything else

That's going to be hard. He's one of those civ nat types who loved Trump, but only after Ben Carson dropped out of the race.

Some people are just suckers in all honesty

@Ben Rainsford - OH I was a CivNat Trump supporter...don't count them out. (I was a Rand guy though...not Carson)

I don’t waste my time with them

The reason it bothers so much is because during the election he felt like the one guy who would openly support Trump with me. We went to rallies together, did the whole bit.

it was civnat 'Murica....not racial for him obviously
