I don't believe that is so. Other ethnic groups are not homogeneous in their voting. Trump's votes illustrate this; the Latinx vote is beginning to trend toward the GOP. And a nontrivial number of Jews and Blacks and even Asians are supportive of the GOP. Why? Because the "ideal" of hard work and fairness that GOP sells is bought by them... by a great deal of people including independents. This is why the GOP often does well. The DEMs meanwhile are becoming a looney bin obsessed with identity politics and all sorts of social crap. The rank and file person worries about this: Can I and my family eat and get drinkable water? 
 Can I afford my housing, clothing, and heat in the winter? Am I going to lose my job? 
 Am I going to lose everything because I'm too old to work or because of my medical bills? >>>> I don't want to live in fear. Think about that... That's exactly why FDR got elected in 1932 during the Great Depression. And he succeeded in making the world better which is why he was re-elected 3 more times! The DEMs today don't focus on that - they are perceived as being of in la-la land over shit like pronouns and "toxic masculinity" and "sanctuary cities" and "Gazan genocide". The people want their politicians to focus on them - their real problems that affect them every single day; not abstractions that affect a few people or that are continents away. ====== I am no lover of the GOP, but the DEMs are dangerously incompetent at talking to people and addressing their real concerns. It is discouraging living in the modern world and the US now... It's like a football game. You're really for Team DEM and their policies about people - a real "united we stand" and with the real social justice of Christ. Team GOP is the enemy team. When Team DEM finally stops Team GOP, they don't advance the ball, but instead fumble it. That's the way it's been for 50 years.

The obvious conclusion is that we have a LOT of stupid, hate filled, racist White people in this country. Their hate for the "others" overrides their love of country and even their own self interests. They will absolutely vote to harm themselves if they believe it will also harm the "others".

This has been the case in most liberal cities with the result being that Democrats knowing that they are guaranteed to get in every year do nothing to tackle the problems their voters elected them to fix.

A good example is after the last election that while california burned, all the Democrats in california met to fund aside $50 million to fight trump. They should have been meeting to discuss what more can be done.

I think this last election proved that anyone can be bought and that is a serious cog in this wheel of fact.

That Democrat buy black votes through money and lies. Fortunately the black community is starting to realize that the Democrats are not their friends no matter what the Democrats say. This is why blacks have been moving toward Republicans in record numbers.

Well we are forgetting the electoral college.

George Bush Jr. tied and SCOTUS handed him the victory over hanging chafes.

Donald J Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 , though won electoral college by a wide margin.

That's not a fact, it's theoretical situation. What it means is that Democrats believe that the majority of minorities (blacks, Latinos, Asians) would vote for Democrats. Not sure how truthful that would be.

White Americans haven't cast a majority of their votes for a Democratic Presidential standard-bearer since Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1964. Johnson, who throttled Arizona Sen. Barry M. Goldwater by a nearly three-to-two vote margin, winning 44 states to six for Goldwater, who won his home state and five Deep South states angered at Johnson's signing the Civil Rights act earlier in 1964. (He signed The Voting Rights Act in 1965.)

It’s not a fact and it assumes that nonwhite voters will always vote the way you want them to. Democrats will be increasingly unable to actually keep voters happy with policies and governance, preferring to use anti-white and anti-Jewish rhetoric and policies. If they get powerful and desperate enough, they will target political opponents much more than they have, especially white ones.
