This is my favorite bit of straight up dumbshit thinking from the last few days. Daniel Greenfield, whoever the fuck he is, arguing that the GOP looks more like America because the percentage of minorities that vote for them more closely matches the racial breakdown of the country.

One Graph That Shows Which Party Really Looks Like America

There’s America in gray. And the Republican Party in red right next to it. And there’s the Democratic Party off to the side looking nothing like America.

In all cases, the Republican vote is closer to the demographics of America than the Democratic vote.

He’s actually arguing that it’s somehow more “American” to be unpopular with minorities, on the simplistic basis that they are minorities. Apparently, if they were worth giving a shit about they’d make up a larger percentage of the population.
