There is no majority for rightwing fundamentalism

[Admin]

One wonders when the Republicans learn that there is no majority for their rightwing fundamentalism of unregulated capitalism, free trade, union bashing, rolling back the welfare state, obsession with the size of government, outsized tax cuts for the rich, climate change denial, etc.

Now the electorate is shifting yet again, and no one knows where the political landscape’s plates will lock. Republicans face a basic math problem amid the accelerating growth of what Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg calls “a new majority coalition of racial minorities, single women, millennials, and seculars.” Greenberg calculates that these groups formed 51 percent of the electorate in 2012, and will comprise 63 percent in 2016.
