The party of Privilege for White men will not change. They will stubbornly exploit the remaining followers until they simply die off. Many republicans vote because of the racist,homophobic,classist ,extreme right wing Christian viewpoint . Where will those with extremist viewpoints go?

The repercussions that will be dealt for the Republicans pandering to the extremist that solely make up their party now, will be felt universally on all Americans. I hate so say it but these people have been threatening violence since 2008, the more true reality destroys their Fox created fantasy they will act out with aggression.

All faced prejudice from the Anglo-Saxon establishment in their time, but had the advantage of white skin and easier assimilation. This "great melting pot" never happened easily. Many in this country are still not accepting of darker skin tone, despite increasing inter--marriages as with President Obama's parents. Many are still back in the plantation mentality: a drop of black blood and you are Black. WTF?
