Just like America went from almost all Protestants to Protestants being less than 50%…
it is going from almost all white to whites being less than 50%.
No matter how angry those fearful of this change get, it is going to happen. I suspect there will be a lot of violence the next few decades as “macho whites” blame everyone else for their own shortcomings. They will never accept they caused their own place in America’s system. While many of them didn't work very hard getting a good education, the immigrants coming to America are working their tails off getting good educations.
Like it or not, after 2025, the current form of the GOP will never win another national election (or perhaps sooner). And probably after 2040, they will stop winning Statewide elections. America, through its new immigrant populations, will finally completely leave its Wild West roots behind (that macho whites want to hang onto) and move into its more "Community" phase. The cattle ranchers will fade away, and the sheep farmers will take over.
Check out this book just published on this topic:
"The End of White Christian America" by Robert P. Jones (2016)
1776:
Protestants = >90%
2015:
Protestants = 46%
Catholic = 21%
Other Christian = 3%
Non-Christian = 6%
Unaffiliated = 24%
