Why Conservatives Fail

| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| Our videos are not being suggested in the usual way, so if you like what you see, please send it to friends. | |
| What passes for conservatism in the United States is doomed. | |
| I'm talking about National Review, Heritage Foundation, the Republicans, Koch Brothers, Cato Institute. | |
| Why are they doomed? | |
| Because these so-called conservatives don't dare conserve what matters most, the European character of the United States. | |
| Yes, I'm talking about white people, the people who built this country and gave it its institutions. | |
| Did these conservatives really think that a future Afro-Hispanic-Caribbean-Asiatic America can be the same America their ancestors built? | |
| What do conservatives say they really want? | |
| Small government? | |
| Low taxes? | |
| Free markets? | |
| Gun rights? | |
| Maybe strong religious communities? | |
| They're against prostitution, abortion, divorce, illegitimacy? | |
| Well, do you know that there are places exactly like that? | |
| Minimal government, minimal taxes, free markets, gun rights, and religious condemnation of all the things conservatives hate. | |
| Do you know where they are? | |
| Somalia has everything a conservative could ask for. | |
| Illegitimacy rates are as low as the taxes. | |
| And then there's Waziristan and the tribal areas of Pakistan. | |
| They are perfect for conservatism too. | |
| As you can see, no gun control problems here. | |
| Well, why aren't these places conservative paradises? | |
| Well, and then let's imagine the conservative nightmare. | |
| Big government. | |
| High taxes. | |
| Socialism. Sexual immorality. | |
| Total gun control. | |
| And what do you get? | |
| Denmark. And Christina Mikkelsen, who was Miss Universe in 2016. | |
| Oh, and there's the U.S. Constitution, which conservatives just love. | |

Conservatives and Politics

|
| Well, do you know which country has a constitution patterned almost word for word on the U.S. Constitution? | |
| I'm afraid that would be Liberia. | |
| Madison's ideas somehow didn't turn out the same over there. | |
| Maybe it was the weather. | |
| You see, there's a pattern. | |
| When white people build societies, they are successful pretty much no matter what the social system is. | |
| Other people usually don't build similarly successful societies. | |
| Conservatives are very interested in politics. | |
| Haven't they noticed that politics change, sometimes drastically, as the people change? | |
| Back when the United States was overwhelmingly white, you became president automatically if you won the majority of the white vote. | |
| Not anymore. | |
| Do you know when was the last time a majority of white people voted for a Democrat president? | |
| That was Lyndon Johnson, 1964, 55 years ago. | |
| Since then, A majority of whites have voted Republican, without exception. | |
| But we still had three Democrat presidents, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama. | |
| And that's because non-whites, whose numbers are growing all the time, vote overwhelmingly Democrat. | |
| Mr. Obama's Republican opponents, John McCain, Mitt Romney, they got about 55% of the white vote. | |
| In the old days, that would have been enough for a landslide. | |
| But they lost. | |
| Because the non-whites voted 70, 80, even 90% Democrat. | |
| You can think of it this way. | |
| Every time a Democrat was elected president, whites didn't get the president they wanted. | |
| Many people now predict that as the percentage of white voters continues to drop, Democrats will become a permanent, nationwide, unbeatable majority. | |
| Why are conservatives blind to this? | |
| Different groups have different politics. | |
| According to the Pew Research Center, in a study of June of this year, when it comes to socialism, the word socialism, 65% of black Americans and 52% of Hispanics have a positive impression. | |
| Whites? Only 35%. | |
| How about gun control? | |
| Whites are the only group that consistently supports gun rights over gun control at 57%. | |
| For every other race, it's the other way around. | |
| They think gun control is more important than gun rights. | |
| For blacks, 72%. | |
| Hispanics, 75%. | |
| For Asians, 80%. | |
| In 2015, the Washington Post wrote about these very differences in attitude. | |
| And the article was called, We'll fall. | |
| It's inevitable. | |
| The subtitle was, Just Look at the Demographics. | |
| The message was simple. | |
| Just sit back and wait for the rising tide of color to wash away the Second Amendment. | |
| Just as it will wash away Republicans and Conservatives. | |
| Conservatives have been telling us for years that blacks, and Hispanics especially, are natural conservatives. | |
| All they need is the right appeal. | |
| But it never works. | |
| Why? Why do conservatives persist in this delusion? | |
| Blacks vote for Democrats, especially when they're black. | |
| Barack Obama got 95% and 93% of the black vote when he ran for president. | |
| When Stacey Abrams ran for governor of Georgia last year, 97% of black women voted for him. | |
| The Washington Post was indignant because only 90% of black men voted for. | |
| What's up with all these black men who voted for the Republican? | |
| asked the headline. | |
| Conservatives are always saying we're all Americans and must have no identity politics. | |
| Well, I guess they never read the headlines in the Washington Post. | |
| Of course, it's not just politics. | |
| The entire texture of life changes as the population changes. | |
| Go to a classical music concert in even a heavily black city like Cleveland or Detroit or Baltimore. | |
| How many minorities do you see in the audience? | |
| Same for a Shakespeare play or an art museum. | |
| The national park system is so desperate to attract non-whites, it has free programs to try to get them in. | |
| They don't come. | |
| It's a white thing. | |
| But when it comes to race, a lot of conservatives sound just like lefties. | |
| They seem to think race is either an illusion or utterly unimportant. | |
| Swap out the whites, swap in anyone else, and America just rolls along unchanged. | |
| Ben Shapiro. | |
| A staunch conservative, I'm told, says, I don't give a good goddamn about the browning of America. | |
| Only ideology matters. | |
| Here's a headline for you. | |
| A senior Republican senator admonishes Trump, America is an idea, not a race. | |
| That was Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. | |
| The Daily Caller is supposed to be conservative, but Greg Price says the same thing. | |
| America isn't a race, it's an idea. | |
| To say America is an idea and not a people, and that you don't care if it goes brown is about the most anti-conservative thing that you could possibly say. | |
| Do you remember Hillary Clinton's leaked WikiLeaks speeches when she said, my dream is a hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders? | |
| In effect, she's saying, let the browning begin. | |
| In another speech, she said America is an intellectual invention, just an idea. | |
| A nation cannot be an idea. | |
| Soldiers don't face death in battle for an intellectual invention. | |
| They fight for their homeland, for their people. | |
| Unless conservatives figure that out, they're finished. | |
| So long as they defend a what. | |
| A constitution, an idea, a political system, rather than defending a who, a flesh and blood people with a home, they are irrelevant. | |
| American identity isn't an idea. | |
| White people built a country based on an English legal tradition rooted in European culture. | |
| Other Europeans could become Americans because racially and culturally they were a kindred people. | |
| When whites, when Europeans are gone, the name may stay the same, but America will be gone. | |
| A conservatism that endures can never be based on an intellectual invention. | |
| It must be a movement that can inspire people to work and to sacrifice for the honor of their ancestors and for the dream of a glorious future. | |
| It must appeal to heroic ideals in the name of what is intimate. | |
| Our families, our children, all the way up to what is greatest: our culture, our people, and our land. | |
| Conservatives, you have the potential for tremendous good, but only if you overcome your terror of the left and dare to fight for the only thing that must be conserved: your people. | |
