Because we already are.
And we have been.
For a long time.
Now.
At least since Lincoln.
What forty percent of America hates: black people, yellow people, brown people, red people, non-aligned-with-them white people, is America.
While MAGA has been off in the woods dancing around bon fires in white sheets and incanting invocations to "their" god, "their" Jesus and "their" christian-awakened-white -supreme- american bullshit, America has, as humans are wont to do, moved on.
All any god fearing white american needs to do to catch up with America and re-synch with America's god, if they really give shit about that sort of thing, which I am sure they don't, is to watch something other than Fox.
I would suggest PBS.
More specifically, I would suggest The News Hour.
If you want to know something about what is really going on The News Hour is your choice.
The very thing the forty percent hates is winning.
Tonight on The News Hour they had ten minutes about a grade school in Providence Rhode Island.
The kids were all amalgam.
The kids were all talented, none of them were very white.
Those kids are our future.
Therefore we are all winning.
I have even heard of stories about Japanese nationals and trump voting Tennesseans becoming "family".
How odd.
America, god bless her, is not anywhere constituted as a stupid all white christian nation.
America is the Declaration, the Constitution, as amended, and the plaque on Lady Liberty.
The plaque contains the entire sonnet, but the most quoted passage is:
“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
"The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
"Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
"I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
The implicit greatness prophesied by those words, and the non-white, non christian words of the Declaration and the Constitution bode well, if our nation can survive the current onslaught of hate, fear, thuggery, whoredom and sycophancy.
A tall order.
