The GOP might eventually have most whites supporting it only because the democratic party has inverted their traditional racism and become openly hateful of white people. But that doesn't mean the GOP will become a white party by any means. And even if that were possible, it would be a terrible idea. We need a coalition to win.
Ideally, the republican party would find a way to pick up the non-urban black vote in the south in a similar fashion to how they just captured the white working class vote in the rust belt, and then find a way to at least split evenly the Latino vote.
The best way to do that may be to counter the identity politics with economic hope. Would a black person want to vote for democrats just because, or for the Republicans that will do something about illegal immigration taking jobs away from blacks, and trade deals taking away factories? Or put another way, would they rather live in poverty in total dependence of the democratic party as a vote serf, or have a decent job that pays well, providing them with agency and autonomy?
I think successful black men are ripe for the picking.
The "Hoteps" are smart enough to understand that the Dem party is simply using them for votes and doesn't give a shit about their real political beliefs.
Consider the transgender attack epidemic sweeping the minority transgender community as recently reported on by Jeremy Schahill. They talk about these attacks and how disproportionate they are against minority transgender people but they dont say that the people behind the attacks are other minorities.
Black folk are totally way more anti-queer than the white community. That's nothing new or controversial.
If Trump can get a bill that targets the black college community, hell I'd support a bill offering free college education for all blacks who graduate high school with a 3.0 it could prove to be the most important policy since the GI Bill.
