The country has changed, that's what the election told us. Whites are no longer a majority of the population and nowhere was this more evident than the reactions the right had to President Obama's Reelection.
The Republican party ran their race as if the demographics in the country were the same as twenty years ago, they're not. They thought they could win by alienating the fastest growing population in the electorate, Latinos.
When the dust settled on Tuesday night, they discovered the country had changed, and changed while they were arguing over abortion, gay marriage and tax increases for the wealthy, while polls showed the majority of Americans believe abortion should be left alone, gay marriage isn't a big deal and the wealthy should pay more taxes.
While conservatives believed they'd won the election, Karl Rove's meltdown on Fox News was a sure sign of that. They are failing in the aftermath to understand why. They're only pointing fingers and calling names, they're not thinking about the future, if they were, they wouldn't want to us the tax plan of the losing candidate as a guide.
The Republican party lost the election because America is no longer the country they believe it is. They believe it's a Christian country, polling says more Americans are losing faith in religion and are becoming atheists.
The Republican party is behind the thoughts of the rest of America. The election showed them a new America, one they weren't ready to deal with and one they're scared of. If they weren't scared of it there wouldn't have been so many Republicans decrying the election as a sham and rumors of vote rigging.
America has changed and the Republican party has to change or it faces the possibility of being non-existent in future elections.
