It's not just starting, that shift happened a long time ago.

Lincolns republicans turned Democrats after the depression thx to FDR. After the black community turned Democrat thx to FDR, a lot of the old democrats(southern whites) turned republicans. When L. Johnson got the civil rights act passed he finished what FDR started by turning the last remaining southern whites into republicans.


Hint: Democrats were pro small government during FDR's time, but the depression allowed FDR to expand(big government) the government and provide for the states/people in need(social programs). The republicans were pro big government, but chose not to help the states because they wanted the states to figure it by themselves(didn't work out quite well)


Obviously a lil more complicated than this, but pretty much in a nutshell.

Our votes don't count, so it doesn't even matter. The electoral college will never vote in Waka Flaka Flame.

It's a possibility.
With what I assume the new generation will be growing to be, everyone in the electoral college would be required to wear snapbacks and shout "#YOLO" before each session of business.

Waka Flocka Flame is said to be running for president in 2016.

If you don't know who Waka Flocka Flame is, he a rapper with many tattoos.

Here are his presidential claims:
-Legalize marijuana
-Dogs not allowed in restaurants (even for the blind)
-People with 13+ sized feet cannot walk in public
-Education should be focused on "reality needs" rather than actual education
-No suits allowed in congress - only laid-back attire
-Minimum wage increase to $15/h
-Higher respect for women

Unfortunately for him, he is only 28 and must be 35 to become president.
This doesn't mean that he won't run in 7+years from now, however, and I almost feel doomed that our country will vote for him in the future as a joke, and he may actually become president.

This is the second time he has announced running for president.

i read higher respect for women. Lost my vote m8, women need to step it up, stop complaining on tumblr and do something about how we view women in society.

also 15$/hr minimum wage? have you ever heard of inflation? that won´t solve anything since corporations will just increase their prices on items.
