The New Look GOP

Oh what fun it is to spoil the narrative of the left-wingers 

and their main political organ the Democrat Party! This time  

around they really took it on the chin re: their boasts about 

their supposed diversity, as compared to the Republicans.

Although the "Red Tsunami" didn't materialize, a tsunami of another

kind had; a tsunami of diversity, stealing a page from the Dem's book.

According to the National Republican Congressional Committee,

28 of the Republican's 435 House nominees for the election are 

black, while 33 are Hispanic. Some of them, including two black

West Point graduates --- John James of Michigan and Wesley Hunt

of Texas --- were favored to win. Many of you, my sharp and with-it 

readers, know that James ran for governor in Michigan and for a 

U.S. Senate seat from that state but had two heartbreakingly close 

defeats. Your prognosticating Peasant thinks that John James will 

be "third time lucky"; I say all this in the tense I have chosen to use 

because I haven't seen the all of the election results from Michigan

at this point in time. The sweetest thing about all this is that the 

Republicans nominated these candidates not because of their 

different skin colors, genders, ethnicities, or any other categories

into which people are relentlessly labelled, filed, indexed, and

cubby-holed by the lefties but because of their solid position-relevant

qualifications, i.e. running for and in some cases holding elected 

office prior: experience in business, the military, education, or other

fields of endeavor in which they picked up knowledge and skills 

which would enable them to serve their districts and states well.

And some of these candidates were elected, too. 

Candidates like these are the Democrats' worst nightmare, especially 

for their campaign strategists. The Dems ceaselessly wail about  

voter suppression disenfranchising minorities via mandatory voter IDs

which are merely to prove that the voter is whom he/she claims to be

and lives where he/she claims to live, and certainly most importantly

that he/she is indeed a citizen. But how, then, did the black turnout 

rate surpass that for whites in 2008 and 2012? In 2018, black, Asian,

and Hispanic turnout were each record-setting for a midterm election.

Coupled with the fact that more minorities are voting Republican these

days, these findings make it rather difficult for the Democrats to brand

the Republicans as racists, calling their party platform "Jim Crow 2.0".

And let's not forget which party begat Jim Crow along with segregation

and similar white supremacy-themed nastiness in the first place.

The Dems' crying "Foul!" about alleged voter suppression? 

Not unlike yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre with not even a puff of

smoke to be found.

Also worth noting is that while President Donald Trump lost his bid 

for re-election in 2020, the GOP won some nice consolation prizes such

as small but significant gains among all, as in ALL, racial and ethnic 

minorities, especially blacks and Hispanics. Under the Trump admini-

stration, the poverty rates for these two groups were the lowest on

record. Furthermore, black wages grew faster than white wages. 

During this time period, the Dems and the lamestream media hollered

that President Trump would be disastrous for these groups; they are 

still wiping egg off their faces over that disastrous prediction.

Additionally, blacks don't play the two major parties against each other

nor do Hispanics, making the Democrats and the Republicans 

compete for their votes. This has resulted in the GOP learning how

to win without courting their votes; it isn't because the Republicans 

don't want or don't care about their votes (especially for racist 

reasons) but that the Dems have long ago won over black voters largely 

by default, with the Dems benefitting from these groups' votes without 

working very hard, if at all. So the GOP had written off these votes 

while their opposition had taken them for granted. This has 

caused many black and Hispanic voters to come to the conclusion that 

the Democrats don't bother to listen to them and their concerns, let 

alone work to solve their problems, economic ones certainly among 

them.

But now the Republicans have discovered that they can win the black 

vote with a good-faith effort. And they are connecting with black voters 

in such a way as to astonish and worry the Democrats. Black voters  

need and deserve more and better choices in our elections, and with 

more black Republicans on the ballot, there is the definite prospect of 

more black candidates in future Republican primaries. The GOP is also 

more confident about winning a far greater share of the Hispanic vote.

There were more Hispanic Republican candidates on ballots around 

the country than per usual, thanks to the GOP also connecting better

with Hispanic voters. All of this illustrates that one's vote does not and

should not be dictated by one's skin color, ethnicity, or by any other 

category which people fall under. Such good, liberating news for 

blacks and Hispanics and other groups of Americans; but very bad

news for the Democrats.
