Why are Republicans so hypocrites and unprincipled?

Unless you have been living under a rock or you just don’t have it together, are gullible or terribly racist, it’s impossible to ignore the bad faith, the hypocrisy and all the lying displayed by the GOP or its Republican Party members, including of course, Trump. 

Obviously, the question is why? Quite simply because these current years are the last ones in which a white majority can still claim a numeric supremacy over the United States. The Associated Press recently reported that in 2019, for the first time, nonwhites and Hispanics were a majority of the population under the age 16. 

This continued demographic shift will keep on growing over the coming decades, according to the US Census Bureau that released that information this past June. Since 2010, the number of whites that aren’t Hispanic had dropped by more than 16,600 people. 

But the decline has been escalating in the past three years, with the number of non-Hispanic whites dropping by more than a half million people from 2016 to 2019. In 2019, a little under 40% of the total US population was either nonwhite or Hispanic. Non-Hispanic whites are expected to be a minority of the population in about 25 years. 

Over the past decade, Asians have seen the biggest growth rate of any demographic group, increasing by almost 30%. As for Hispanics, their population grew by 20% since 2010. Finally, Blacks grew by almost 12% over the decade.

Whites, on the other hand, only increased by 4.3%. With these numbers in mind, it’s easy to see why time is of the essence to maintain white supremacy in America, rig our government so it becomes more undemocratic than ever, and why the Republicans are stopping at nothing to holding on to White Power.
