George W. Bush Warns Republicans 'Won't Win Anything' If They Stand For 'White Anglo-Saxon Protestantism'

[quote]Former President George W. Bush suggested the Republican Party needed to reach out to a more diverse coalition of voters if it wanted to come back into power.

'If you Republican Party stands for exclusivity - you know, it used to be country clubs, now evidently it's white Anglo-Saxon Protestantism - then it's not going to win anything,' Bush said in an interview with The Dispatch podcast last week.

Bush was asked about a recent initiative from far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to form a House 'America First' caucus that's in favor of 'Anglo-Saxon political traditions,' with respect to immigration.

Asked if the GOP followed that path for the next three to five years if Bush would still be a member of the party.

'No I'd say there's not going to be a party,' Bush replied. 'You know, to me that basically says that we want to be extinct.'[/quote]

Well, he's right. The Democrats are always chided for not reaching out to white working class voters, and rightly so. Likewise, the Republicans can't win elections if they keep alienating non-white people. Non-white people are going to be the majority in this nation by 2050. Republicans can't be the "party of white people" forever; it's not a sustainable model.

@SW-User With enough voter suppression that dog can hunt till way after dark.
@SW-User yeah, but the major goals of Trumpism are not sustaining or even [i]conserving[/i] anything.

What's really sad is that the GOP leadership got so pathetically weak that it allowed itself to let Trump get the nomination in 2016 and then sold out its soul for judges.
