"The GOP’s membership is nearly 90 percent white and can only envision carnage and extinction as it looks upon a rights-based, religious, racial and ideologically diverse America. Or, as Lindsey Graham had noted as early as 2012, 'We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.'
"In short, the United States of America is not really their America. They yearn for a white republic. That’s why they are fighting to recreate the days when, as Archie Bunker sang, 'Guys like us, we had it made.' That’s why they’ve willingly gone along with and participated in a sustained attack on the country itself, allowing it to grow weaker so that they could feel stronger.
"Already, Trump and the Republicans have severely harmed the
institutional heft of checks-and-balances. But they’re not done.
America’s international reputation and influence rest on enormous
economic and military strength, as well as the intangible but
all-important 'soft power' brought on by a robust democracy. All three
pillars are necessary to sustain America’s nearly global respect and
position, yet — and this was the rub — all three are increasingly
dependent on more than just whites in the United States to build and
sustain. For white America to exist, America must die. And the
Republicans have made their choice."
