The republican party doesn't care so much about others as they do about themselves. When you find that a majority of republican white people think they are discriminated against as a race, https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/white-americans-discrimination-poll-npr_us_59f03071e4b04917c594209a, you begin to see the fact that republican voting white people cannot nor will not acknowledge that other races have been institutionally harmed for centuries, https://www.tolerance.org/professional-development/on-racism-and-white-privilege. The pattern is settled as to why these white people vote for republicans. The republican party has aligned itself more closely with a race based ideology that non whites are harmful to the American way of life. Whatever the hell that means since our nation is a melting pot nation!
Lest anyone forget we are a nation populated from every, if not most every, country on the planet. We were only newly populated and formed a few centuries ago so we are not inherently a white race nation. In fact we confiscated this nation from dark skinned Indians who lived here for millenniums. So the argument that our nation is to be preserved as a white one is absurd and egoistically racist. Now how do we get the white republican voters to change their attitudes and behavior toward their god given right to be right about an all white society? Well I sure as hell don't know other than better education but that is a long term solution at best, but letting them gain power in our government sounds like a nightmare idea, yet here we are in that nightmare.
Again I will say it here, there were 46.9% of eligible American voters who did not vote in the 2016 election, http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a8265143/almost-half-eligible-voters-did-not-vote-election-2016/. So to try to change the way racists think is truly a challenge so far beyond our ability. The better short term solution is for us democrats to get out our vote and make sure that those 46.9% of voters understand how important it is to have a say in how our government represents us. Otherwise we will end up with more trumps in the future if we survive this one. I have no doubt there are republicans and many independents who are now ashamed of there vote and would not do it again however there are still too many who have hatred in their hearts and no matter what the trumps do they will never accept anyone who isn't white and proud to keep it that way!
