Who do you think the social conservatives are? Because they’re certainly not the highly educated, urban whites who make half of the white Democrat constituency. Then you might argue that this has nothing to do with whites, specifically, but as the article’s author notes, probably the only reason that this hasn’t completely alienated black and Latino voters is because they’re already used to being alienated and don’t see the republicans as a viable alternative. But whites don’t have the same things tying them to the democrats. FWIW, I think there’s a good chance the republicans will start figuring out to flip Latino and Asian voters by appealing to social conservatism.
