The Ultimate Sailer Strategy

The Sailer Strategy is meant for the Republican Party to get as many white voters as possible, which would mean that it would rule America indefinitely (the Conservatives used this strategy in Canada last year--only they blew off French-speaking Quebeckers to focus only on English speakers).

It’s obvious to me that the GOP is already prepping for the 2016 election with stuff like this:

·         Sarah Palin’s labeling of any blacks who questions America’s past as unpatriotic

·         Michele Bachmann’s moronic claim that blacks were better off during slavery times when she was one of the frontrunners last summer

·         During the primary, Newt Gingrich using code words like “food stamp president” and Rick Santorum “notoriously promised a crowd in Iowa that under his presidency hard-working (presumably white) taxpayers wouldn’t have to pay for nutritional assistance for do-nothing blacks.”

The party has already given up on blacks so it may go for broke by taking an even harder line on immigration—completely blowing off the Hispanic vote.

The endgame could actually be about demographics rather than building a long lasting majority. Harsh immigration policies would only be the beginning (voter ID laws that discourage young people from voting, anyone?). The GOP’s social wing would be in total control, and it would target contraception next. From birth control all of a sudden being turned into a “religious freedom” issue to some states imposing restrictions on the morning after pill over half a decade ago, social conservatives want to move the line to make it nearly impossible to use contraception without it being tied to abortion. Speaking of voter ID laws, that move is all about the Republicans writing off an entire generation of voters and relying on aging Baby Boomers and members of the Silent Generation simply because they have way more people than Millennials. The move is nothing more than generational apartheid—same old tired ideas being shoved down our throats even when they are clearly outdated.

The ultimate end: Whites retain a majority in 2050 because Hispanics are given major hurdles to citizenship and birth control becomes extremely difficult to access—increasing the white birth rate (i.e., Pat Buchanan’s dream).

Stunted City Redux

Well, it looks like this prediction from almost seven years ago is coming to pass--albeit slowly: Durham and Winston-Salem traded the #4 an...
