George W. Bush says the Republican Party has a shot at future elections if it curbs its 'white Anglo-Saxon Protestantism'
Business Insider via Yahoo News ^ | Sat, May 1, 2021, | Yelena Dzhanova

Former President George W. Bush said he believes the Republican Party will win in future elections if its members embrace traditional ideals and curb the "white Anglo-Saxon Protestantism."

Asked about the state of the Republican Party, Bush told "The Dispatch Podcast" he believes there's potential to win in the upcoming midterm elections and the 2024 presidential election.

"I think Republicans will have a second chance to govern because I believe that the Biden administration is a uniting factor, particularly on the fiscal side of things," he said.

But the Republican Party will not win by representing ideals tied to white supremacy, he suggested.

"If the Republican Party stands for exclusivity - it used to be country clubs, now it's white Anglo-Saxon Protestantism - then it's not going to win anything," Bush said.

What’s even sadder is who was the Republican alternative to Bush in 2000? McCain!

Says the guy with SS protection. Patriots should be gathering on his lawn.
But...gotta work tomorrow...gotta pay the bills and taxes to support people that think exactly like him.

It gets more stupid every day....and people here for the most part think he is the stupid one. He's evil and we are stupid.

Sorry....I used the ‘we’ word again.

‘We’ does not necessarily mean all FReepers.

They know that. they also know that if they can't inspire the base, they'll have to blackmail them.

Seriously, has George W. been tested for the early stages of dementia ? He’s sounding more bizarre every week.

He was pretty Conservative when he was President. Pro-oil. Pro-business. Tax-cuts. The military could still kick a$$ (before it became crazy due to social justice nonsense). Bush wasn't perfect. But I was proud that he was our President. He was great on 9/11. Now Al-Qaeda is destroyed so we don't have to worry about them anymore.

Maybe Dubya just got old and he had lost his mind. Or all those years of hostile media attacks took a toll on him so he is waving the white flag right now. If that's the case, I get it. Please just keep your mouth shut like you did during Obama's presidency. Distract yourself with something like Jimmy Carter's Habitat for Humanity.

“He was great on 9/11”

And a week later he was assuring us that Islam is a religion of peace and we have nothing to fear from Muslims. Oh ... and let’s kiss Muslim ass from now ‘til the end of time.

The particular demographic group to which the Bushes belong, the Puritan descendants, or Yankees in the original sense, who live in New England and its offshoots, from upstate New York westward to Oregon and Washington, is one of the most leftist white groups. During the Republican ascendancy (1869-1933), the Northeastern elite dominated the nation's politics. These Puritan descendants mostly shed the theological Calvinism of their ancestors for Unitarianism or liberal Protestantism. Yet they largely preserved the work ethic and the sense of being God's chosen from their Calvinist past.

After World War II, the Yankee elite lost their dominance in Northeastern politics to white Catholics and Jews and in the GOP to Southerners and lower Midwesterners. Wall Street and the Ivy League colleges became dominated by a new, and substantially Jewish, elite. The surviving Yankees adapted to their dethronement by moving leftward. Thus, places where old money Yankees still live, like Fairfield County, Connecticut or the mainline suburbs of Philadelphia, are now Democratic. The scions of families like those of Theodore Roosevelt or Hamilton Fish support the likes of Obama and Biden. The Episcopal Church, once described as the Republican Party in prayer, is now almost as leftist as Antifa or BLM.

The Bushes, as well as non-Yankee RINOs like Mitt Romney or Susan Murkowski, have chosen the wrong side. If there is any hope for the GOP, they must be removed from power.

He’s obviously fighting for grotesque, woke obesity, according to your meme.

I voted for Keyes. I'm feeling a little vindicated right about now.

Leftist morons love to sing white supremacy but never point to an example of it.

If Freepers don’t believe there is a Deep State when you look at Bush, his dad, Romney, Biden, Obama and the Clintons, I don’t know what to tell you. Then you throw in people like Gates and Fauci. It’s unreal what we are up against.
