Future GOP Minority Rule and South Africa — is this the GOPS 30 year game plan ?Posted on 4/18/20 at 4:13 am

GOP strategists, lobbiest, and leaders are smart and have seen the demographic shift that is before us. It is inevitable that the GOPs base will be a demographic minority in 20 years. However they will retain largely 90-95% of the nations wealth/assets/land and political power by that time as well.

Is it not far fetched to stay that “stacking the courts”, filing courts with any and every young conservative lawyer/Judge, suppressing voter turnout through gerrymandering and voter id laws, colluding with foreign adversaries to steal elections, and filling state govts with gop stalwarts is a tactical decision they made a while ago?

They’re not dumb, they know that they can’t win in a demographics race and that democracry by numbers would destroy republican rule in this country. The wouldn’t last one election.

The will of this country is not the republican ideology, and the future especially isnt. All those political maneuvers I listed above seem to be deliberate attempts to contain the nations governing powers within a dwindling majority group. My question though is — isn’t that a failing model? It is imploding in SA. The minority majority will soon lose all their power, if not just have it stripped from them. Is that a failed, and temporal and not well thought out plan? It doesn’t not seem sustainable largely because it’s against the will of the majority.

Around the country, the last 3 years, we’ve seen lifetime appointment afte life time appointment be filled with political hacks and down right bad lawyers and judges. It is widely known within the legal circles that if u want to crack in govt law as a lawyer, the best route to go is conservative because the competition is less. Easier to get partner that way especially if you’re a WM or WF. I say this having close friends that work for top 3 firms in country.

Anyways how does the GOP truly think this plan is subject to stand the test of time? Nothing has ever withstood the will of the people? Things have gotten so bad that they allowed foreign govts to invade and impregnate their party with disinformation and propaganda just to keep their base in line.

This consolidation of power might seem advantageous in the short term, but seems like wholly a horrible and ill thought out decision in the long run. It reeks of fear and arrogance, and stubbornness.
