We know Democrats often tout the demographic changes in America and even push hard to accelerate the process. The danger of these actions is becoming clear and I predict will result in a major landslide against them next e******n
The rise of Neo-Nativism: Putting Trump into Proper Context

Many argue that Trumps rise in the polls is nothing but a fluke (link, link, and link); that once the Republican v**ers come to their senses, a more credible candidate will emerge (link, link, and link). These people may be right; horse race polls are ephemeral at best this early in the e******n season (Ipsos analysis of e******n poll accuracy).
This, however, misses the critical point about Trump and the current anti-establishment furor gripping the Republicans. Independent of the polls, there is a method to Trumps madness.
Simply put, Trumps candidacy taps into a deep, visceral fear among many that Americas best days are behind it. That the land of freedom, baseball and apple pie is no longer recognizable ; and that the othersometimes the immigrant, sometimes the Non-American , and almost always the nonwhiteis to blame for these circumstances. This pure unabashed nativism (link, link, and link) is Trumps brand of populism and is fit for purpose in 2015. It both gives him e*******l strength and popular appeal.
To understand this, we conducted a recent poll on nativist sentiments and the 2016 e******n. The results are striking.
Strong nativist tendencies in America . More than half (58%) of Americans dont identify with what America has become. Almost as many (53%) feel like a stranger in their own country. This sense of loss is particularly pronounced when we look at party identification: while 45% of Democrats dont identify with what America has become, a whopping 72% of Republicans dont. Trumps populism speaks to this real and emotional sense of economic and cultural displacement.

That's because they think the word "demographic", refers to a training video. :shock:
