DescentBB

This ought to warm slick's heart:

In 2014, deaths among non-Hispanic whites exceeded births in more states than at any time in U.S. history. Seventeen states, home to 121 million residents or roughly 38 percent of the U.S. population, had more deaths than births among non-Hispanic whites (hereafter referred to as whites) in 2014, compared to just four in 2004. When births fail to keep pace with deaths, a region is said to have a “natural decrease” in population, which can only be offset by migration gains. In twelve of the seventeen states with white natural decreases, the white population diminished overall between 2013 and 2014.

This research is the first to examine the growing incidence of white natural decrease among U.S. states and to consider its policy implications. Our analysis of the demographic factors that cause white natural decrease suggests that the pace is likely to pick up in the future.

demographics in action. No reason to cheer, no reason to fear, either. It is what it is. The nation will continue to become browner, queerer, more liberal and less white. No election or hand-wringing changes that reality.

Now, what NS might wish to look into in the life expectancy pegged to net worth. Then, you might see why upping retirement ages is completely a gift to the wealthy.

“queerer”

Are you sure you understand biology?

Or are you saying brown people are more queer?

It won't become more "queerer" because Pence will make sure they'll all face forced conversion therapy just to become part of what he and his church considers proper moral behavior or else they'll have to go back into the closet like so much icky scum proper people should never have to see. And this country won't become more liberal until the Republicans, in their present incarnation as plutocrats and autocrats like Trump, screw up the nation and the economy so bad that most people will see them for what they really are, greedy immoral warmongering hypocrites. Currently, they're either drooling capitalists who desire to hoard all the wealth and power and who'd rather see the working man remain a poor, powerless wage slave to them, OR they're a bunch of xenophobic theocrats who desire to destroy anything not white or devout Evangelical Christian. However, they'll probably combine the 2 under the guise of Prosperity Theology and start Holy Wars of Christian cleansing, all for Godly profit and get everything they desire. They'll also demand all women drop all that feminist drivel they fought decades to attain, so that they can properly be supplicant to men like they should be. THEN the former soon-to-be-dead dead middle class of this nation will abandon them in droves and fight for the survival of our diverse nation. In other words, everything has to go into the toilet first, then liberals will rise again.

More like liberals will con more people into government dependence once again eventually.

They're like cancer. You might fight it back, but they'll eventually come back and spread till they kill off our country.

The last Great Depression was caused by deregulation, greed and corruption in Wall Street, and happened under the auspices of a Republican president, Hoover. A smaller but no less damaging recession was caused by a tax and spend warmongering Republican, George W. Bush.The next bigger one might just occur because of the arrogant, thin-skinned egotistical current president-elect Donald Trump. The liberals will rise again once he REALLY screws the pooch.

shorthand for more openly gay people.

So you think gay people are queer? Do you think black people are niggers?
