Death Quote by Bret Stephens
“If the Republican party essentially becomes the white party, it is going to be the death of it, not only for demographic reasons but for reasons of principle. The party of Lincoln is a party of opportunity for everyone. It's a party about the right to rise, and Mr. Trump unfortunately doesn't represent that view.”
About This Quote
If the GOP shifts to a solely white identity, it risks losing its inclusive, opportunity‑driven legacy, undermining its principles.
In simple terms: A white‑only party would betray Lincoln’s inclusive vision.
Preserve diversity and principle.
