<blockquote>
My third update for this part of the first half of our show has to do with population change, and it's quite important to America's economic future.

The 2020 census results are now in: the white population of the United States between 2010 and 2020 dropped by 8.6%, whereas the people of color rose -- all of them, [with] the biggest [being] the Hispanic, the second biggest the Asian, and the third biggest African-American

[The] African-American [population] modestly rose 5.6, but white people *dropped* 8.6%, and Hispanic and Asian people rose in the double digits.

Everything is changing.

Let me give you an example: Texas.

If you divide this population this way, roughly 40% of Texas is white, 40% of Texas is Hispanic, and 20% of Texas is black. Think about that, and what that means.

You can be sure the political parties in this country are thinking very hard about this. You know our political parties are coalitions: at the top of both Republicans and Democrats are big corporations -- and our richest people.

They're ''minorities'' in this society.

Most of us are employees. We're neither rich nor do we run corporations nor do we own them.

In order for [either of those two parties] to keep control of this society, they have to build coalitions with the mass of people.

The Republicans have traditionally built it with:
* businessmen and [business]women
* white people
* religious people

You all know this.

The Democrats have tilted more towards:
* unions
* employees
* people of color
* women

and so on -- but when the population changes, the parties scurry.

The Republicans are terrified. They've built an alliance around white -- and white is shrinking. What are they going to do?

Well, you can ''see'' what they're doing: two things. That's the strategy of the Republicans.

'''Number one''': Get more of those shrinking white people to vote. Get them very excited. Get them riled up. Get them to be fearful that as they become a minority, they may get treated by the new majority the way they treated minorities the last 200 years.

'''The second thing''' Republicans are doing is cutting back voting by those people who might not vote Republican. It's across the country! (...and the Democrats, if I had time [to go into this], are doing their share.)

The country is divided because of a desperate rush by these political parties to try to cope with a changing population that may shift our politics in fundamental ways.
