Eight years ago many were talking about the demise of the Republican party as a viable institution. Today the Republican Party has crushing power. At the start of the Trump Administration I expected the GOP to use its power to dismantle any public institutions contrary to its interests, especially with the most reactionary President in American history -- who governs much like a dictator.
Ask how things are in January 2019.
Demographics are a trend, and not destiny. it is clear that under-educated whites do not share a culture with under-educated people of any other ethnic group. Republicans have been making appeals to anti-intellectualism that excite poor white people but offend middle-class minorities who are well educated as a rule.
