    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    The strongest shift I detect has been away from the military-industrial complex.

Bear in mind that the vast majority of minorities do not forget history.

    Nor do they remember it apparently. How exactly has the life of minorities improved under Democrat rule? Keep in mind the Civil Rights Act was largely a Republican effort and was opposed by most Democrats.

    That shift started under Obama and his identity politics. They abandoned the working class for a long list of disparate victim groups.

    Note: if I don't respond to you, it is possible your post was really stupid.

    The black vote against Trump was heaviest in the disputed cities. The black vote in the outlying regions of each state was about 15% for Trump. I think its highly racist on the part of Democrats to continue to believe blacks want to be held to lower standards than whites, want to continue to depend on government handouts, and want the destruction of the black family to continue unabated. Republicans believe blacks are equal to whites, Democrats believe blacks are incapable of survival without their handouts.

    Is it a party shift or a Trump shift.

    I look back only 2 years ago and see the poison that still ran our party with Paul Ryan, Romney, McCain, Graham, Rubio, Alexander... and the supporters of the US Chamber of Commerce/Corporate elitists.

    Trump came in and turned that upside down.

    The question is will the GOP go back to listening to the poison of neoconservatism or who will lead us in the continued fight back to the days of the Real Republican movement. Only 5 years ago we were docile enough to accept a Jeb Bush type candidate before Trump came aboard. The GOP better continue to clean house or the party will fragment.
    When I think about having to vote for that poison named Graham again then it makes me ill. Already he is talking amnesty again.

    I'd call it a people shift, one that Trump attached himself to.

    If the GOP doesn't change from establishment, neocon types, it'll lose out.
