The clear message in the United States’ shifting demographics

We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Within our lifetime, the United States will be a majority minority country, no matter how loudly the MAGA crowd shouts.


As difficult as it might be for some recalcitrant Americans to believe or embrace — Trumpsters, listen up, this column is especially for you — the United States is in the midst of a profound and irreversible demographic shift.

Two dramatic changes in the nation’s population are occurring simultaneously: we’re getting older, and more racially diverse, according to a U.S. Census Bureau tip sheet released last week. Census figures show that fewer than 17 percent of U.S. counties reported a decrease in median age from April 2010 to July 2017, with the majority of those counties clustered in the Midwest. Nationally, the median age rose to 38.0 years in 2017, up from 37.2 years in 2000.

“Baby boomers, and millennials alike, are responsible for this trend in increased aging,” Molly Cromwell, a demographer at the U.S. Census Bureau, said in a statement released with the report. “Boomers continue to age and are slowly outnumbering children as the birth rate has declined steadily over the last decade.”

As the nation grows older, it’s also becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. “Nationally, the population of all race and ethnic groups, except for the non-Hispanic white alone group, grew between July 1, 2016, and July 1, 2017,” the Census statement said.

maybe if your read the article

And that’s why this column is directed to Trump’s MAGA crowd, which seems hell-bent on returning the country to some idealized era of the 1950s or earlier, when white men were the unquestioned arbiters and beneficiaries of the nation’s politics, culture, and economy.

Indeed, the hateful atmosphere brought about by Trumpism and echoed in archly right-wing media has its roots in a vocal white nationalist movement, which seized on the president’s embrace of their racist rhetoric as permission to openly act on impulses that previously were tucked away from public view.


The sooner most Americans come to terms with this reality, the sooner the public will rally support and encourage politicians to deal with the changing demographics from a position of national strength, and not as the fearsome dilution of white superiority. One thing is certain: the changes coming to America aren’t going to suddenly shift into reverse, no matter how loudly Trump, his subservient congressional leaders, and white nationalists complain.

Does it really matter to anyone but a leftist that requires class warfare and segregation to maintain political power? If everyone assimilates as US CITIZENS....what's the problem?

So who will pay for all the welfare then? As they say be careful what you wish for, it might come true

Well first of all, that's just false partisan hackery. Second, you're implying that minorities can't be Republicans which is also false.

I did no such thing......almost everyone who reaches the point that they have to actually pay taxes instead if getting an EIC check becomes a Republican.......guano is the idiot that thinks it hinges on race.....I am the ridiculing him for his reductionism........

That's just a falsehood, I'm sorry. There is much I disagree with Democrats on, but resorting to such hackery is intellectually dishonest. There are plenty of employed, taxpaying Democrats. Hell, there's billionaire Democrats. There are also Republicans on benefits.

Guno seems to be a frequent race baiter, yes. That aside, you seemed to imply that a rise in minorities automatically means a rise in Democrats. That is not necessarily a given, I have seen plenty of minorities that feel (most) Republican issues resonate with them. A slight change in tone and strategy could bring even more to the GOP in an era where it is becoming clear Democratic policy has done little to nothing for minority communities but increase dependency on the state. Whatever impact increasingly diverse demographics has on the elections is completely up to your party.

The implication that you assume happening exists in your mind only. Only a bigot would think like that.

In the context of the OP, his argument clearly seemed to be based off the assumption that a rise in minorities automatically means a rise in Democrats, thus apparently a rise in welfare. Both very false correlations.
