Arizona's GOP Struggles To Adapt To Diversity And Change

     The fact that Republicans think old, straight white men and token blonde white women are part of a sustainable business plan and that the only reason they could be losing is mass, coordinated fraud is absolute lunacy. Doug Ducey, the elderly, white CEO of Coldstone Creamery-turned governor, and a plethora of state-level believers in conspiracy theories lost big in Arizona in 2020. 

 

     Arizona is not what it once was. Aside from being home to a large number of Native Americans, it is also home to a massive number of Hispanic immigrants and eventual citizens. Arizona is experiencing a boom in urban areas like Phoenix and Tucson, areas Democrats have done very well in, and Arizona is an economy driven by small business.

     Additionally, California is experiencing an exodus that is sending residents to neighboring states like Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, all of which are increasingly Democratic. The AZGOP has gone with the radical Trumpian platform, and its blonde, white leader, who barely speaks English in spite of being a native speaker with no other lingual abilities, is pushing off potential minority votes.

 

     The GOP of Arizona is struggling to adapt to change, the conservative way that sends retirement home residents creakily walking their direction to cast their ballots before they drop like flies.
