If you ever wonder why most IR and PoliSci profs will never have any access to actual policymaking or policymakers, it's stuff like this. They have painted themselves into the tiniest corner imaginable then wonder why their departments get slashed.

So if all the minorities (plus the 6% Other not shown) joined liberal whites to vote in every election, they would dominate US politics without a problem. You could have a steady 60-70% voting majority. Imagine.

This is just crap. Folks trying to get followers not based on their content but just begging for following back. Yuck.

If you were a college president under pressure from dropping enrollment and the dean of the philosophy department said we need to soldier on despite all that because we produce debates like this..... Would it sell? That's where academia falls down. They don't get how disconnected they have become.

This is Royston, TX. See anything there? Not for ten miles in any direction. Because there was nothing to sustain a town after the cotton biz dried up and blew away a century ago.

Like many would have said today privately before the Iran campaign started, here is William Pitt trying to convince the House of Lords that war with the American colonists was doomed.
