Atlantic: Trump Can't Reverse the Decline of White Christian America

[Torie]

Well, the intermarriage rate between Hispanics and "whites" is pretty high, and one might posit, that the voting behavior of the two groups across the decades might move closer together. These long term projections of psephology as compared to demographics in my opinion is way overdone. And I don't see Asians (except perhaps the Muslim ones) as a reliable left of center voting block over the decades being a done deal either, particularly as that demographic group moves to above average income levels. I am also not persuaded that the cultural as opposed to economic divide will retain the importance that it has now over the decades.

But yeah, the Trump coalition is not a long term formula for political success I agree. The politics of resentment, where there really are not realistic policy prescriptions to address the sources of that resentment, with much efficacy (many of those cards in Trump's hand that he thinks are trump cards, are really just jokers, so it is not as if he's going to win a lot of tricks with it). The global economy and flow of peoples across borders is just not going to go away.
