>2042
>White people are a minority in the USA
>America is a country founded on immigration.* Today, its population is more diverse and multicultural than ever. Following the 1965 immigration reform (which grew from the civil rights movement), the number of non-white people increased dramatically. This was particularly true of Latinos, who went from 6.3m in 1960* to over 50m by 2010.*

By the early 2010s, non-whites had already begun to outnumber whites in California, Hawaii, New Mexico, Texas and Washington DC, while nearly half of all children in the nation were non-white.* This trend continued over the subsequent decades. By 2042, white people themselves have become a minority.**

This rapid change in the demographic makeup has significantly altered the political disposition of the country. Latinos,* blacks* and other minorities tend to be left-leaning.* Other factors have influenced voters' preferences - such as the growing urbanisation of the country, with cities tending to favour more liberal and progressive policies than smaller, traditional rural communities. Generation X and Generation Y (the latter now entering their middle age) have also reshaped the political stage, most of them favouring the Democrats.*

This and other factors have converged to make the old-style Republican Party unelectable. By now, the GOP has been forced to drastically moderate its policies and rhetoric compared to earlier decades.*

>2059
>The end of the oil age
>For most of the 20th century, prospectors discovered far more oil than industrial societies could consume. This was an era of cheap and plentiful energy, which saw huge growth in the world's economy and population. By the 1970s, however, a major slowdown in discoveries was observed. This continued into the 21st century - contributing to a financial crisis that persisted for decades, led to a near-total collapse of the global economy and drove nations to the brink of another World War. It was only through massive government intervention, last-minute substitutes for crude oil and widespread deployment of renewable energy that a major catastrophe was averted. By the late 2050s, the end of the 200-year oil age is approaching, with the final dregs being extracted in the Middle East.

Given current and projected consumption rates, and given projected discovery rates, we've already entered the age of Petroleum Depletion. Given the same numbers, we'll enter the age of Petroleum Starvation in the mid-2030s. Thje U.S. economy will take a decidedly grisly turn in that period, since it runs almost entirely on cheap energy. U.S. citizens who aren't on the dole will have to make stark budgetary choices by then. A "tax revolt" is a certainty; so much of a working man's income will be subject to tax that he'll finally start to see his government as THE ENEMY. Only then will real political change be possible. Until then, it's 100% delusional policies in the U.S. Congress and every state legislature.

there's nothing intrinsic about being a minority that drives one away from conservative ideology.

it's all about media. The Republican party and conservatives rely heavily on right-leaning poor whites for votes. Poor white people vote in notable numbers for them even if it means they get fucked in the ass moreso.

It's all about media. The right wing has targeted the demographic of lower earning whites over other races, that's why more whites tend to vote for them than blacks and hispanics.

The republican party benefits the rich disproportionately. There's nothing evil about that. Wealthy people have interests too and deserve as much of a say as anyone else. But the media strategy of the Republican party has recognized it can't rely on upper class votes elusively to carry it thru elections. The only hope is to market to lower income demographics, and if it can't appeal to them economically, then they do socially; they marginalize minorities, gays, muslims, whoever they can get their hands on, because they need that fodder if they hope to win a single election.

If the nation becomes predominantly nonwhite, then Republicans will have their media target Hispanics. If 100 years from now the US is 80% hispanic you'll have Republicans using media to target whites as the 'enemy' of hispanics, and impressionable underclass latin idiots buying it all the same.

Seems to me that straight honest white Christian males are the officially discriminated against group in the USA. Non-whites are protected classes. Non-Christians are protected classes. Non-heterosexuals are a protected class. Women are a protected class. Even substance abusers are a protected class under the Americans with disabilities act. When everyone else gets special treatment, the few who don't are discriminated against. So yes, the government seems to be trying to get rid of white people. But that's a subject for /pol/ and I'm not /pol/ish. I was trying to find a way to work Warsaw into that pun but it turned out too violent.

So you need to punish the children of Europeans who immigrated to the USA to escape a war torn land because of the color of their skin? You don't think recent immigrants from Europe got discriminated against?
Fair enough.

Oddly, I was just reading an old book that mentions that the native American Indians are most probably of Mongolian decent. Their language most closely resembles language from the Sino-Tibetan region. So the Chinese could say they were the first Americans.

True...In the end democracy is nothing but a controlled form of anarchy. But as more and more people want "their rights", it becomes more and more like true anarchy, groups of people doing whatever they want; ie lawless state. Obviously crime will still be frowned upon so it'll be a western type of law. As a nation we are too young, but if you look back at greece, rome and egypt and see how earlier forms of democracy worker, or failed, for them, we can see that OUR democracy is just at its infancy but will get there.

Immigration is nothing new. Has been happening since america started.

Everyone always bitches about the "new guys" and there "strange language". However, all immigrants eventually seem to assimmilate to the english language after a few generations. Has happened for hundreds of years.

ehhh where do you live? I live in New Jersey. While I do agree with you, to a degree, you are forgetting that the balance can tip either way. The idea that we are not pushing for a national language leaves the language of choice up in the air. My high school had a mixture of all races, white, blacks, indians, hispanics, asians, etc., but there was a few ESL classes and they were mostly for spanish speakers, and one for chinese; which was weird because we didn't have that many chinese. In the end the asians learned english right, the indians learned english right and some hispanics learned english right. But the rest of the latinos, the esl ones, CHOSE to speak spanish in class, never really learning english and then never having a good job from it. And yes I can attest to lack in any socio-economic improvement.
