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

Really I thought he was so powerful that he could reverse demographic trends

The Republican Party is going to have to do much more minority outreach to survive. Everyone (especially here) predicts that the seventh party system will be Republicans growing in the north, where electoral votes are being lowered, and democrats growing in the south, where minority population growth will cause increases in electoral votes (hopefully we have popular vote then but EVs for now). There needs to be a new strategy that appeals to minorities through economics and (moderate) social issues (and environmental issues). It can't be a "the other side is gonna put you in chains!" strategy. Do I believe trump is hurting this? He certainly didn't help, but it's not his fault. The party needs to get it's s*** together now.

Under the current electoral map, if Democrats take the Sun Belt + NV + SC + NC + VA + MD + DE + the entire West Coast + Hawaii and GOP wins everything else, the GOP wins with exactly 270. That same map under a projected 2024 map has Democrats winning with 274, the exact same map with a six-EV increase. That's why focus needs to be made to minority communities now (obviously if this arrangement were to happen it would take at least 30 years for the realignment to fully take place)
