There is more to it than that, and generations do not forget. The Republicans, to this day, are still paying the political price in the Black community for their shameful opposition to the revolution in civil rights in the 50's and 60's, never apologized for much less atoned for. This despite the fact, as an earlier poster pointed out, many would be culturally in tune with the conservative social message. Wilson's hostility to Hispanics will cost Repubs California for a generation or two. The gay community, in general more financially successful than average and therefore a seeming natural Repub constituency, will long remember the hostility embodied in the current generation of the party. It's not just "minorities" that need to achieve normalization, but the GOP that seems to have forgotten that "all men are created equal", and are deserving of decent and fair treatment. Yes, there decent and fair and good people in the party. But there are so many along for the ride who are less tolerant, and have been the loudest voices for so long.
