This HAS BEEN whispered across the media for years….
Republican’s KNOW this and ARE scared shitles about it, and are fighting to try lock their majorities in now ….
Fights against Diversity NOW will become MORE important as the clock winds down…..
America WILL BE MORE diverse and THAT will climb up all levels of American government and politics…..
Barely two decades from now, around 2045, non-Hispanic white people will fall below half as a share of the overall U.S. population.
Those conclusions, and the numbers behind them, seem simple enough. Yet, some scholars contend that the numbers are wrong, or at least misleading, and that the looming ascent of a majority-minority America is a myth.
America’s white majority, and its numbered days, is a lightning-rod topic, given the nation’s history of slavery and enduring patterns of discrimination against minorities and immigrants.
Demographers and economists celebrate the nation’s growing diversity as vital to a prosperous future. Other voices vilify racial change as a threat to the nation’s white heritage.
“Race is the most complicated variable in the census, and it’s the one that draws people like moths to the flame,” said Dowell Myers, a professor of policy, planning and demography at the University of Southern California.
Generational data from the 2020 census shows the upward march of racial diversity by age group. Non-Hispanic white people make up 77 percent of the over age 75 population, 67 percent of the age 55-64 population, 55 percent of the 35-44 cohort, and barely half of the 18-24 age group. America’s children are only 47 percent non-Hispanic white, according to an analysis released this week by William Frey, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
In the decades to come, that wave of diversity will wash across the generations, yielding an America with no single racial group that can claim a numerical majority….

I’m not sold on the idea that changing demographics will necessarily be a great boon for the Democrats and a great disaster for the Republicans.
The increasing Hispanic vote for Republicans and the ,in many instances, lack of initiative among Black voters has been noted.
There also remains the possibility that Whites may begin voting increasingly Republican in either reaction to these changes or a future more moderate Republicans Party.
Lots of possibilities here and I’m sure even more will comes as the years go on.After all we are talking about 20 years from now.Just think if in 1996 someone had opined that 20 years from now Donald Trump will be elected President of the United States!

It won’t be a landslide I agree…..
Sure some Hispanic’s/latino’s vote Republican….
Some Blacks also…..
But on the whole…..
The minority vote WILL keep moving TO Democrats….
Republicans ARE going out their way because they ARE scared SHITLESS of this ‘POSSIBILITY’
So scared they are breaking the rules and laws to get their way….
I understand Ur doubts….
No one knows the future…
But it IS OMINUS for Republicans…
