Yup. When the Republicans lost hard to Obama, and I KNOW I've mentioned this time and time again here in these forums, the night of the election in the post-election analysis, there were Republican analysts up the wazoo discussing the issue very frankly. You cannot carry elections in the U.S. anymore only winning white men. And that's a problem for the party. And the GOP is going to need to retool and update its message and the shape and size of its tent in the coming years to recover and become viable again.
And just like with how, no matter how much Reaganomic economic policies fail, they simply insist that the policies followed weren't Reagan ENOUGH, they've done the complete reverse and headed even more in the direction of totally alienating the non white male constituents. I remember one Republican commentator said, "Unsurprisingly, (referring to the Latino vote) if you campaign on a policy of wanting to make life as difficult as possible for a certain group of people, those people do not want to vote for you." Trump hasn't even danced around with coy subtle ideas like making citizenship harder or whatever else... he's just flat out said he wants to eject people, build walls, etc. And yet Benvolio would maintain that it's a racist plot against white America that people who are told by a candidate, I don't want you here and I want to repeat the Japanese American incarceration, uplift you from your homes and lives and boot you the hell out, don't want to vote for Trump. Instead of what it is, which is common fucking sense lol.
I'd be interested to see if Benvolio can offer any reason why he never discusses his party's abject refusal to not platform on a philosophy of exclusion and alienation and persecution for non white groups that doesn't amount to just another repetition of his conspiracy theories that all the minorities are in on a secret plot together to destroy whites, no matter what whites do.
