Right-wingers, especially those on the far right fringe, don't seem to want to accept reality. They still long for the days when this country was ruled by and for white men -- and they think they can return the country to those days. As these charts made from information in The Next America (a report by the Pew Research Center) shows, that right-wing dream is about as realistic as a hunt for pink unicorns.
The charts show the demographic population trend in the United States (from 1960 through 2060). Note that each 10 year period has shown a smaller percentage of the population being made up by Whites, and a larger percentage being made up by minorities. And around 2040, Whites will no longer make up the majority of the population in the United States -- and that will come much sooner in some states like Texas (where the school population already shows Whites in the minority).
This is especially true of Hispanics, who make up the fastest growing portion of the population. Right-wingers have deluded themselves into thinking that this can be countered by voter suppression efforts and a denial of immigration reform. But at best, that will only put off the inevitable by a short time. Most of the Hispanic growth is not from immigration, but from native-born Hispanics -- and Democrats are now making a concerted effort to get those Hispanics registered and to the polls.
The truth is that the Republicans could save their party by tossing out the racist teabaggers, and moderating their policies toward minorities and immigration. But the very idea of that is anathema to the right-wingers, and the party is controlled in too many states by those same racist teabaggers. It will be a long struggle to wrest control of the party back from those teabaggers, if it can be done at all. But if it is not done, the GOP will join the party they replaced (the Whigs) as existing only in the pages of American history books.
And here is one more trend that will only exacerbate this demographic problem for the Republicans (see chart below). The percentage of new marriages involving interracial couples is growing, and that trend is also destined to continue. And most of these interracial marriages involve Whites (the one group the GOP is counting on to save them).
Minority voters are not stupid. They understand that Republican policies work against them, and because of that, those voting percentages from the 2012 election are not likely to get any better (and might get even worse).
