Update
on monkeypox in Canada - June 27, 2022-OTT-Public Health Agency of
Canada (95 OR MORE % ARE GAY, HOMOSEXUAL OR EVERY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET
(THATS OFFICIALLY BACK IN THE CLOSET SO THEY DO NOT GET STIGMATIZED AS
MONKEY POX IS A GAY DISEASE) NOW THEIR SODOMITE RAINBOW GROUPERS)(MEN

The Public Health Agency of Canada
(PHAC) is issuing this statement to provide an update on its ongoing
response to monkeypox. PHAC continues to work closely with provinces and
territories to ensure collaboration and coordination of Canada’s
strategic response to address this situation. The Government of Canada
took immediate action upon the confirmation of the first cases in
Canada. The ongoing response has included developing infection,
prevention, and control guidance; providing laboratory testing,
sequencing, and guidance to provinces and territories; engaging with
community based-organizations; and deploying vaccines and treatments to
provinces and territories.On June 23, 2022, the World Health
Organization (WHO) Director General convened its International Health
Regulations (IHR) Emergency Committee to discuss the multi-country
outbreak of monkeypox. Over the weekend, in a news release, the WHO
Director General confirmed that he concurs with advice offered by the
committee and that the multi-country outbreak, at present, is not being
declared as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).
However, the IHR Emergency Committee unanimously acknowledged the
emergency nature of the event and that controlling the further spread of
outbreak requires intense response efforts. The Committee advised that
the event should be closely monitored and reviewed after a few weeks,
once more information about the current unknowns becomes available, to
determine if significant changes have occurred that may warrant a
reconsideration of their advice.Since the outset of the monkeypox
outbreak, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has been working
with domestic and international partners to protect the health of
everyone in Canada. The Government of Canada activated its Health
Portfolio Operations Centre with the confirmation of the first cases.
The National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) continues to conduct testing
to confirm a diagnosis of monkeypox for suspected cases, while
provincial/territorial public health and health care systems are
conducting case investigations and outbreak management. Provinces and
territories also have access to approved vaccines in Canada that can be
used to manage monkeypox in their jurisdiction. The National Advisory
Committee on Immunization (NACI) released recommendations for the use of
IMVAMUNE, a Health Canada-approved vaccine, for immunization against
monkeypox. Provincial and territorial public health authorities have
launched their monkeypox vaccination campaigns and have started
vaccinating populations at higher risk.PHAC continues to provide regular
updates on the monkeypox outbreak through public reporting and on
Canada.ca/monkeypox, including posting interim infection, prevention and
control (IPC) guidance, case and contact management guidance, a
national monkeypox case definition, guidance for health professionals
and information on risks and symptoms to increase awareness.Public
health leaders across the country are working together on the monkeypox
response. PHAC is working with stakeholders, including non-governmental
organizations, Chief Medical Officers of Health through the Pan-Canadian
Public Health Network and international partners/networks, to raise
awareness among populations at higher risk. This includes equipping them
with the guidance and tools necessary to help manage cases of monkeypox
and engaging jurisdictions at the Public Health Network and other
federal, provincial and territorial tables to share and analyze
information, and develop an approach to support effective and timely
outbreak management in Canada.In addition, PHAC is supporting
community-based organizations in the regions currently most impacted by
the monkeypox outbreak to reach populations at higher risk of infection,
with timely information on how to protect themselves and help slow the
spread of monkeypox.The global understanding of the monkeypox virus is
still evolving, and Canada is providing leadership to help improve our
understanding of the current monkeypox outbreak, including mobilizing
experts and sharing available scientific evidence to inform the
response. Recently, an expert panel was convened on several occasions to
advise on what is known and not known about monkeypox, including
potential research priorities and how to handle potential risks to
Canada. Canada has also participated in a WHO sponsored event to develop
a Research & Development Blueprint and has participated in a
scholarly evidence review of the best-available evidence currently
available for the monkeypox outbreak.
As the monkeypox outbreak
is ongoing, the Government of Canada will continue to work with the
provinces and territories to assess the risks to people in Canada,
respond to the evolving situation, and continue to provide updates to
the public as new information becomes available.
THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAROL SWAIN
When
you think about racial equality and civil rights, which political party
comes to mind? The Republicans? Or, the Democrats? Most people would
probably say the Democrats. But this answer is incorrect.Since its
founding in 1829, the Democratic Party has fought against every major
civil rights initiative, and has a long history of discrimination. The
Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed
Reconstruction,founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation,
perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the
1950s and 1960s. In contrast, the Republican Party was founded in 1854
as an anti-slavery party. Its mission was to stop the spread of slavery
into the new western territories with the aim of abolishing it entirely.
This effort, however, was dealt a major blow by the Supreme Court. In
the 1857 case Dred Scott v. Sandford, the court ruled that slaves aren’t
citizens; they’re property. The seven justices who voted in favor of
slavery? All Democrats. The two justices wo dissented? Both
Republicans.The slavery question was, of course, ultimately resolved by a
bloody civil war. The commanderin-chief during that war was the first
Republican President, Abraham Lincoln – the man who freed the slaves.
Six days after the Confederate army surrendered, John Wilkes Booth, a
Democrat, assassinated President Lincoln. Lincoln’s vice president, a
Democrat named Andrew Johnson, assumed the presidency. But Johnson
adamantly opposed Lincoln’s plan to integrate the newly freed slaves
into the South’s economic and social order.Johnson and the Democratic
Party were unified in their opposition to the 13th Amendment, which
abolished slavery; the 14th Amendment, which gave blacks citizenship;
and the 15th Amendment, which gave blacks the vote. All three passed
only because of universal Republican support.During the era of
Reconstruction, federal troops stationed in the south helped secure
rights for the newly freed slaves. Hundreds of black men were elected to
southern state legislatures as Republicans, and 22 black Republicans
served in the US Congress by 1900. The Democrats did not elect a black
man to Congress until 1935.But after Reconstruction ended, when the
federal troops went home, Democrats roared back Free Courses for Free
Minds.com into power in the South. They quickly reestablished white
supremacy across the region with measures like black codes – laws that
restricted the ability of blacks to own property and run businesses. And
they imposed poll taxes and literacy tests, used to subvert the black
citizen’s right to vote.And how was all of this enforced? By terror --
much of it instigated by the Ku Klux Klan, founded by a Democrat, Nathan
Bedford Forrest. As historian Eric Foner - himself a Democrat -
notes:“In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of
the Democratic Party.”President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, shared many
views with the Klan. He re-segregated many federal agencies, and even
screened the first movie ever played at the White House - the racist
film “TBirth of a Nation,” originally entitled “The Clansman.”A few
decades later, the only serious congressional opposition to the landmark
Civil Rights Act of 1964 came from Democrats.Eighty percent of
Republicans in Congress supported the bill. Less than 70 percent of
Democrats did. Democratic senators filibustered the bill for 75 days,
until Republicans mustered the few extra votes needed to break the
logjam.And when all of their efforts to enslave blacks, keep them
enslaved, and then keep them from voting had failed, the Democrats came
up with a new strategy: If black people are going to vote, they might as
well vote for Democrats. As President Lyndon Johnson was purported to
have said about the Civil Rights Act, “I’ll have them n*****s voting
Democrat for two hundred years.” So now, the Democratic Party prospers
on the votes of the very people it has spent much of its history
oppressing. Democrats falsely claim that the Republican Party is the
villain, when in reality it’s the failed policies of the DemocraticParty
that have kept blacks down. Massive government welfare has decimated
the black family. Opposition to school choice has kept them trapped in
failing schools. Politically correct policing has left black
neighborhoods defenseless against violent crime. So, when you think
about racial equality and civil rights, which political party should
come to mind? I’m Carol Swain, professor of political science and law at
Vanderbilt University, for Prager
University.
23 maps that
explain how Democrats went from the party of racism to the party of
Obama-By Andrew Prokopandrew@vox.com Updated Jul 29, 2016, 1:08pm EDT
The
Democratic Party is the longest-existing political party in the US, and
arguably the world. But in its over 180 year existence, it’s completed a
remarkable ideological and geographic transformation. Originally a
staunch defender of Southern slavery, the party now wins the support of
most nonwhite voters. Once an advocate of rural interests against
coastal elites, the party now draws much of its strength from cities and
coastal areas. These maps tell the tale of the Democratic Party’s
origins, its various metamorphoses, and the sources of its strength —
and weaknesses — today.-Origins-1) Democrats: The party of Andrew
Jackson1828 presidential election results-US National Atlas, 1970
edition
For 28 years after Thomas Jefferson was elected president
in 1800, his party, deemed Democratic-Republicans by today’s political
scientists but commonly referred to as Republicans then, controlled the
presidency and dominated US politics. But by the mid-1820s, that party
had begun to fracture. Factions formed around politicians from different
regions with competing ambitions — one of whom was Andrew Jackson, who
had gained national fame as a general during the War of 1812. In his
1824 presidential bid, Jackson won pluralities of both the popular vote
and electoral college. But since no candidate won an outright majority,
the election went to the House of Representatives, which chose John
Quincy Adams as president. Jackson quickly became the leading opposition
figure to Adams’ presidency, and in their 1828 rematch, the results of
which are shown here, he won broad support everywhere outside the
Northeast, and swept into office. At the time, his supporters didn’t
have an official name, and were usually called Jackson men.” But because
they argued that they had the popular will, they distinguished
themselves from their rivals by calling themselves “Democratic”
Republicans — and eventually, just “Democrats.”2) Democrats: The party
of Indian removal-Indian removal map-Nikater-One major issue animated
Jackson’s presidency from his very first year: the forced removal of
Indians living east of the Mississippi River, to clear the way for more
white settlement. This map shows the removal of the “Five Civilized
Tribes” — Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole — that
ensued after Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act into law in 1830.
Indians were rounded up from their homes, and sent to concentration
camps and on forced marches. About 46,000 people were expelled during
Jackson’s presidency. The issue was one of the most important in
defining the new Democratic Party — according to historian Daniel Walker
Howe, an analysis of Congressional votes at the time found that “voting
on Indian affairs proved to be the most consistent predictor of
partisan affiliation.”3) Democrats: The party of Manifest Destiny-US
Westward Expansion-The Fur Trapper-With the Indians moved out, the
Democratic Party turned its sights westward. By the 1840s, the party had
embraced the idea of “manifest destiny” — that (white) Americans were
divinely entitled to domination of the whole North American continent.
In his book The Battle Cry of Freedom, historian James McPherson calls
Manifest Destiny “mainly a Democratic doctrine,” and writes that the
party “pressed for the expansion of American institutions across the
whole of North America, whether the residents — Indians, Spaniards,
Mexicans, Canadians — wanted them or not.” This map shows all 19th
century westward expansion in the contiguous US, but pay close attention
to the westernmost regions. Three massive expansions — the annexation
of Texas, the Oregon acquisition, and the postwar Mexican Cession —
occurred during the presidency of Democrat James K. Polk. The
Mexican-American War in particular, pushed by Polk and criticized by the
opposition Whigs, expanded US holdings all the way to California — and
set the stage for controversy over whether slavery should be expanded to
these newly-acquired territories.The Civil War and its aftermath-4)
Democrats were the party of slavery-Kansas Nebraska Act PBS: American
Experience-As the 1850s began, the question over whether slavery should
be allowed in new territories and states became the major dividing line
in American politics — and the Democratic Party more and more clearly
became the most important institutional supporter of slavery. Their main
rivals, the Whigs, were split on the issue regionally, but even most
Democrats outside the South were expected to refrain from criticizing
the so-called “peculiar institution.” Furthermore, Democratic
conventions had a rule requiring two-thirds approval for any
presidential nominee, which effectively gave the South veto power over
the choice. In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act — passed under Democratic
President Franklin Pierce, by a Democrat-controlled Congress — set the
stage for even stronger sectionalism in US politics, over slavery. Most
notably, the new law outright repealed the decades-old ban on slavery
north of the 36°30′ line, instead allowing residents of the Kansas and
Nebraska territories to vote on whether to permit slavery by popular
sovereignty. The law and ensuing bloody conflict in Kansas provoked a
tremendous backlash in the North, and was the death knell for the
regionally divided Whig Party. An irrevocable split between Northern and
Southern Whigs allowed for the rise of a new Northern party organized
around opposition to expanding slavery — the Republicans.5) The
Democratic Party fractured during the Civil War-House Dem votes against
13th Amendment-Vox-Crisis finally arrived with the 1860 election of
Republican Abraham Lincoln as president, the subsequent secession of 11
Southern states, and the breakout of the Civil War. The new Confederacy
was suspicious of party organizations, so though former Democrats like
Jefferson Davis played major roles in the new government, the Democratic
Party no longer operated in the South during the war. In the Union,
however, the party remained Lincoln’s main opposition. There was a range
of opinion, including moderate Peace Democrats who preferred a
negotiated settlement, Copperheads who wanted to cease the war
immediately and blamed abolitionists for provoking it, and War Democrats
who wanted peace through victory. In 1864, Republicans pushed a
constitutional amendment to abolish slavery, which went down to defeat
in the House in June because 57 of the chamber’s 72 Democrats opposed
it, as shown on this map. As Lincoln ran for reelection that year with
the support of some War Democrats, the Peace Democrats fought back with
what historian William Lee Miller called “the most explicitly and
virulently racist campaign by a major party in American history.”
Democrats constantly stoked fears that Lincoln’s policies would lead to
miscegenation and racial equality. The party had performed well in the
1862 midterms, and as late as August 1864 Lincoln expected to lose. But
the fall of Atlanta in early September restored public confidence in
Lincoln’s handling of the war. He swept to a landslide victory that
November, and passage and ratification of the 13th Amendment soon
followed.6) The Democratic domination of the South-Solid South
1876-1944-Vox-After the Civil War, it was clear that the Republican
Party was the nation’s governing party. In the next 11 presidential
elections, spanning 1868 to 1908, Democrats only managed to win twice
(Grover Cleveland’s two nonconsecutive terms). They held the Senate for
just four years in that 40-year timespan, and the House of
Representatives for 16. In the South, however, the Democrats became
effectively the only party — a situation that would last for decades,
since the Republican Party was so closely associated with Lincoln, the
war, and the end of slavery. This map shows how the South overwhelmingly
voted for Democrats in presidential elections. But the dominance
existed at state and local government levels as well, leading to
constant abuses of the rights of freed blacks. “Long into the twentieth
century, the South remained a one-party region under the control of a
reactionary ruling elite who used the same violence and fraud that had
helped defeat Reconstruction to stifle internal dissent,” wrote
historian Eric Foner in his book Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished
Revolution.7) The party of farmers and silver-1896 results by
county-Inqvisitor-After Reconstruction, racial issues receded from the
national debate — and instead, monetary policy became the hot-button
issue of the late 19th century. The 1873 adoption of the gold standard
and ending of silver coinage was incredibly controversial among farmers,
who blamed the policy change and the business interests who supported
it for various economic hardships. As a result, farmers across the South
and West began to gravitate toward the Democrats. Matters came to a
head in the election of 1896, when Democratic nominee William Jennings
Bryan attempted to mobilize a national populist coalition against
gold-supporting capitalists, saying his opponents “shall not crucify
mankind upon a cross of gold.” But he failed — the rural states that
backed him weren’t enough for a majority, because more populous states
in the Northeast and Great Lakes voted Republican. “McKinley’s triumph
indicated that the Republicans had secured control of America’s
industrial base,” wrote historian HW Brands in his book American
Colossus. “Urban workers crossed class lines to vote with their
employers rather than with the farmers of the South and West.” They
would keep doing so — letting the Republican Party dominate national
politics — for decades.Embracing government activism-8) Woodrow Wilson
and Progressivism-1912 presidential election-Nakor-The Progressive
political tradition arose in the US as the 19th century slipped into the
20th. It focused on fighting corruption, countering the power of
monopolistic trusts, social reform, and the active use of government to
try to improve people’s lives. Originally, there were progressive
elements in both parties (and outside them), with Republican Theodore
Roosevelt and Democrat Woodrow Wilson as leading figures. This map shows
the electoral college results of the 1912 presidential election, which
pitted Wilson and Roosevelt (now heading a new Progressive Party)
against each other and the incumbent Republican president, William
Howard Taft. Wilson won, and Democrats enacted various economic and
governmental reforms during his presidency, such as an antitrust law and
an income tax. Eventually, the Democratic Party became known as the
main home for progressives.9) The party elected to fight the Great
Depression-Unemployment 1932 by state-Map: Vox Data: Committee on
Economic Security-This is the map that finally restored the Democratic
Party to dominance of national politics. After the 1920s decade of
Republican rule, generally pro-business policies, and a booming economy,
the bottom finally fell out when the Great Depression crushed the
presidency of Herbert Hoover. The discrediting of laissez-faire ideas
and the inability of Republicans to deal with the crisis led to
landslide Democratic victories in 1932, when, as this map shows, the
average unemployment rate among gainful workers was 34.5 percent.
Franklin D. Roosevelt swept into office and enacted the New Deal,
perhaps the most sweeping domestic legislative program in American
history. His administration also dramatically expanded the size of
government and created the modern executive state.10) The party of
government spending-New Deal Projects Map-The Living New Deal Project at
UC Berkeley-The New Deal — which became the emblematic liberal program
for decades to come — included various attempts to boost the economy,
jobs programs, laws expanding union powers, and the creation of Social
Security. It also led to a lot of individual projects, ranging from
infrastructure development to arts, that put people back to work and
made clear the role government could play in American life. This map
shows the sweep of New Deal projects across the country, from the
Chickamauga Dam in Chattanooga, Tennessee to a post office in Riverton,
Wyoming. Head over to the Living New Deal website for the interactive
version of the map, which shows the specifics of every single
project.11) The party of unions-Union density by state 1964-Map: Vox.
Data: Barry Hirsch, David Macpherson, Wayne Vroman, “Estimates of Union
Density by State.”In the decade after the National Labor Relations Act
passed in 1935, US union membership more than quadrupled, to 14.3
million workers, writes Rich Yeselson. This expansion provided a new and
durable organizational base that became increasingly associated with
just the Democratic Party. But unions didn’t flourish everywhere — they
had particular trouble breaking into rural areas and the South. The
expansion of union influence and power produced a backlash — both among
the Republican Party and business interests, and in the still-Democratic
South, which was suspicious of union organizing. In 1947, these two
elements joined together to enact the Taft-Hartley Act over President
Truman’s veto. The law “stopped labor dead in its tracks at a point when
unions were large, growing, and confident of their economic and
political power,” Yeselson writes. States were now permitted to pass
“right to work” laws that prevented mandatory union membership among
employees — and many soon did. 12) The split over civil rights-Senate
civil rights vote 1964-Vox-The Democrats’ coalition of the mid-20th
century was divided between Southerners who supported segregation,
liberal activists trying to end it, and others outside the South who
were happy to look the other way. Eventually, though, the supporters of
civil rights gained the upper hand, pushing through important civil
rights and voting rights laws in the mid-1960s. This map shows states
where Democratic senators voted for cloture for the Civil Rights Act of
1964, where they voted against it (which meant continuing the
filibuster), or where the party had two senators whose votes were split.
Nearly all Republicans voted in favor of cloture, which was invoked
71-29, but it was Democratic president Lyndon Johnson who signed it and
the subsequent Voting Rights Act into law — which helped drive more and
more black voters to embrace the party that had so long been associated
with racial discrimination.13) The (gradual) loss of the South-Jonathan
Davis, Arizona State University-”I think we just delivered the South to
the Republican Party for a long time to come,” President Johnson said
shortly after signing the Civil Rights Act, according to his aide Bill
Moyers. Yet party loyalties take a long time to shake off, and while the
South certainly appears lost to Democrats today, the break-up was very
gradual. Democrats maintained control of the House of Representatives
for an amazing 40 straight years between 1955 and 1994, in large part
because of continued support from conservative Southerners, as shown in
this map by Jonathan Davis at Arizona State University. The Senate, too,
remained in Democratic hands for all but six of those years. Majority
control didn’t necessarily mean the party could pass progressive bills,
though, as many of the Southern conservatives frequently partnered with
Republicans to block liberal initiatives. The South also provided the
Democrats’ only two successful presidential candidates between 1968 and
2008 — Jimmy Carter, who won nearly every Southern state in 1976, and
Bill Clinton, who won a few.14) The antiwar movement-Vietnam war
protests 1967-1969 PBS: American Experience-Democratic presidents began
American involvement in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and
the Vietnam War. But Vietnam created a tremendous political backlash in
America, as hundreds of thousands were drafted and tens of thousands
died for a war with no end in sight. This map shows five major examples
of anti-Vietnam War protests between 1967 and 1968 — the fifth of which
infamously occurred at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, and
spiraled into violence. Since the sixties, there’s been a dovish
tradition in the Democratic Party — even if it isn’t always heeded. When
George HW Bush took the Gulf War resolution to a vote in 1991, the
chamber was controlled by Democrats — but just 18 percent of Democratic
senators, and 32 percent of Democratic House members, voted in favor of
war. After 9/11, more Democrats voted for George W. Bush’s war in Iraq,
though many on the left remained suspicious. When that effort foundered,
anger over it helped energize the Democrats and restore them to
Congress in 2006. Senator Hillary Clinton’s vote to authorize force in
Iraq similarly helped propel Barack Obama to the nomination, and the
presidency, in 2008.
Today’s Democratic coalition-15) Democrats
are strong in big cities (YES THERE ALL SLUM CITIES OF RACE-BAIT HATERS
WHEN THE DEMOLIBNUTS RUN A CITY)-Crowdpac NY-Crowdpac-This map of New
York’s political donors is from a series by Crowdpac that plots out the
address of every disclosed political donor in America, and uses blue
dots to mark Democratic donors and red ones to mark Republicans. We see
here that NYC is overwhelmingly blue, which makes sense — according to
an analysis by Richard Florida, 11 of the 15 largest US cities voted for
Obama over Romney in 2012, and Obama performed particularly well in
denser cities. “Affluent, high-tech, creative class metros” like New
York and Los Angeles are “mostly blue,” while “less advantaged, less
skilled metros in the Sun Belt and even in the Midwest are increasingly
red,” Florida writes.16) Richer Americans vote Republican, poorer ones
vote Democratic-Andrew Gelman, “Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor
State”In recent years, the richest states — many of which are in the
Northeast or on the West Coast — have tended to vote Democratic. But
that doesn’t mean that the Democrats are the party of the rich. These
maps, from Andrew Gelman’s book “Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor
State,” separate how the richest third and poorest third of the
population in each state voted in the 2004 presidential election (which
was won by George W. Bush). Gelman’s analysis shows that the richest
third of nearly every state’s electorate voted for Bush, while the
poorest third of voters in most states opted for Democrat John Kerry.17)
Democrats perform badly among evangelical Protestants (BECAUSE
CHRISTIANS ARE AGAINS'T ANY SIN GOES, WHILE DEMOLIBNUTS WORSHIP EVERY
LAKE OF FIRE GOER SINNER ON EARTH)-Map of evangelical protestants by
state-Map: Vox. Data: Pew Research Religion & Public Life
Project-Here’s another map of where Democrats are strongest today — in
places where there aren’t many evangelical Protestants. American
politics weren’t always incredibly polarized by religion, but
restrictions on school prayer and the expansion of abortion rights
helped trigger the mobilization of the Christian right. These issues
weren’t purely partisan when they first came up, but gradually,
Democrats and the liberal establishment became known for protecting
abortion rights, defending the separation of church and state, and (more
slowly) expanding gay rights.18) Few Blue Dog Democrats remain (NOW
THEIR ALL A MIX BAG OF UNRESTRAINED EVIL DOERS, RACE BAITERS, AND
SINNERS)- Blue Dog Democrats gif Maps: Kurykh-After the dramatic defeat
of many House Democrats in 1994, the more conservative members of the
party felt they needed a group to better coordinate them — or at least a
label they could use to distinguish themselves from the party’s
liberals. So the “Blue Dog Democrats” were formed. Its members tended to
be more pro-business and more socially conservative. By 2009, with the
Democrats back in control of Congress for Obama’s first year, the
coalition had swelled to include 54 members of the House, and great
pressure was placed on Blue Dogs to support Obama’s agenda on health
reform and cap-and-trade — which many of them did. The backlash broke
the Blue Dogs, and the vast majority of the coalition either retired or
was defeated in subsequent elections. These maps show the decline in
House districts represented by Blue Dogs from 2009 to 2013. The Blue
Dogs’ ranks will shrink further after the Democrats’ 2014 drubbing, to
either 14 or 15 (depending on a recount).19) The party of unions (THE
PARTY OF EVERY GAY,MUSLIM,MINORITY THEY SUCK HOLE UP TO)-Union
membership by state, 2011-AFL-CIO-Labor remains a key pillar in the
Democratic coalition in states where it still has a presence. But union
membership has dropped so much, and unions have been so weakened, that
the party now has to look elsewhere for much of its financial support
and organizational muscle — to rich donors and social issue interest
groups. Private-sector union membership has particularly plummeted, from
35 percent or so in the 1950s to just 6.9 percent in 2011. This map
shows the percentage of each state’s 2011 labor force that was in a
union — and makes it clear that Democrats perform better in more
unionized states. Measures that would weaken unions further, like right
to work laws or restrictions on collective bargaining for public
employees, are key pillars of the Republican agenda in many states
today.The future of the party (FROM OBAMA ON THE MUSLIM OBAMA AND THE

the nonwhite electorate-Rising nonwhite population-PolicyLink-Since
LBJ’s 1964 landslide, Republicans have won more of the white vote than
Democrats in every single presidential election. Initially, this led to
the Democrats losing the presidency quite frequently. But as the share
of the nonwhite population has grown, Democratic prospects in
presidential elections have improved — and the party has won the popular
vote in five of the last six presidential elections. “Every year, the
nonwhite proportion of the electorate grows by about half a percentage
point—meaning that in every presidential election, the minority share of
the vote increases by 2 percent, a huge amount in a closely divided
country,” Jonathan Chait has written. By 2020, he added, “nonwhite
voters should rise from a quarter of the 2008 electorate to one third.”

population growth in the next 30 years will be due to people of

KILLERS, THE NEVER DYING BODYS THAT WILL BE BURNING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE
FOREVER-NEVER ENDING.)-White voters, 2000-2012-The New Republic-Though
Barack Obama won the 2012 presidential election, he only picked up about
40 percent of the white vote — the lowest for a Democrat in decades.
But this decline wasn’t evenly distributed. The New Republic posted an
excellent map that makes this clear with a county-level comparison of Al
Gore’s performance in 2000 to Barack Obama’s performance in 2012. In
the red counties, Obama did better than Gore, and in the blue counties,
he did worse. “Democrats have a problem with Southern whites, not all
whites,” Nate Cohn wrote, pointing out that Obama won heavily-white New
Hampshire, Iowa, and Wisconsin. The party performed less well among
whites in the 2014 midterms, though, so we’ll see how things turn out in
2016.22) Weakness in the states-state legislatures-Vox-The Obama
presidency has brought some major setbacks for Democrats in the states,
as you can see in this map, which shows the partisan balance of state
legislatures after the 2014 midterms. Democrats ended up with full
control in a mere 11 state legislatures, while the GOP got full control
of 30. The number of states where Democrats control both the
governorship and the state legislature has been cut to 7 — the fewest
since the Civil War. If the states are the “laboratories of democracy,”
as Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis put it, it’s the Republican
Party, not the Democrats, who will be the ones conducting experiments in
the next few years.23) Growth of Hispanics in key states-Hispanic
population growth, 1980-2010 GIF Pew Research Center Hispanic Trends
Project-The growth of the Hispanic population has been particularly
important to presidential-year Democratic math. These maps, from Pew,
show the growth of that population from 1980 to 2011. This growth
already helped California and New Mexico become solidly Democratic
states on the presidential level, and helped tip swing states Florida
and Colorado toward Barack Obama too. It also gives political context to
President Obama’s deportation relief executive action of November 2014:
Democrats believe that the future of their party relies on the strength
of their bond with the Hispanic electorate.
