Agreed, but let's just suppose, for the sake of argument, that conservative ideals of small government and individual liberty only broadly appeals to whites. Then what? How do we go from there?

At the start of this year Republicans had Presidency, House and Senant. Instead of implementing what they have been talking about for years (repealing OCare, lower taxes, less government, etc) and I would have assumed that they would have already had these “bills” on the back burner for just this exact senecio (holding both houses and presidency). They have spent the year fighting Trump, who has a higher approval rating than Congress.
They seem to be satisfied with being the minority party. It is a shame and a wasted opportunity that would have been a great lesson to the future generations. Instead these generations will become snowflakes and be satisfied sucking the tit of the government for the rest of their lives.

There won't be a "rest of their lives." America's permanent deficit spending cannot last forever. I give it another 20 years, at most.

I don't think it will take 20 years to do us in. The FED has been keeping interest rates artificially low, so the interest on the national debt is "affordable", read debt growing linearly, not in a geometric progression. If either the debt gets to $30T, or the interest rates on the exiting debt go to 5%, we are cooked.
Our only hope is a State led Constitutional Convention to throttle back the FED.
If we don't get a handle on this, in say 8 - 10 years, the FED is **** up. I think we'll break up and become a land of regional states banding together. And I hope I am wrong.
I voted for Trump. On a good day he's not a polished speaker. Open mouth insert foot. But Congress is more interested in getting re elected - pandering to those with their hand out - than doing the right thing long term for the good of the Republic. So they fight everything he got elected to do - including his own party ! No win scenarion, no way out that I see.

Mark Levin says it's not a Constitutional Convention.
It's an Article V Convention of States.

Our fiscal situation is not sustainable, and the influx of third world immigrants guarantees an ever increasing welfare state.
I hope America collapses in the next 10 years. Reason being is that I want to be here to help restore a new America.

This 1,000%. But it seems like they spent 8 years complaining about Obama, but never bothered to actually draft any legislation. I mean, love her or hate her, Pelosi has legislation ready to go when opportunities present themselves.
Instead, when they got the majority, we got the disjointed stumble of Obamacare repeal that resembled something my freshman roommate did when he took Adderall to stay up all night to study.
My friend and I were actually talking about this and how libertarianism has trouble appealing to non-whites.
I think the only answers are:
1.) Try to bring change to those groups and get them to see
2.) Adapt to the message to make it resonate.
For example, instead of arguing for anarchy, argue for say, the max freedom possible while also acknowledging that living in a society requires giving up certain freedoms.

Or 3), which no one wants to acknowledge, is to limit immigration of people not from Europe. I think Asians could be brought into the libertarian tent. I'm not convinced Latin Americans can.

The bill is expected to be voted on by end of year according to Rep. Hudson as he was told by House leaders.

Not a chance of this happening.
If it can be brought to a floor vote, it'll pass easily in the House. The problem will be in the Senate. There are probably enough votes to pass with Rs alone, but not enough for cloture to allow the floor vote to happen. It would have to be merged with another "must pass" bill in committee, which is controlled by Rs, or added during reconciliation.

Stick it onto a budget or tax bill. Neither side will touch it if it means losing money. (By which I mean "being limited in the amount of money they can take from We the People").

I doubt it. You can always count on the Collins and McCains of the world to suddenly demand "bipartisanship."

I guarantee though next election they will be out there campaigning about how they need our help to get more R senators elected so they can push this through without any D holding it up.
It's a shiny object/red meat they think they can dangle in front of one section of the electorate and lock up that vote so they can spend their time and money on other hard to get sections.

This might hold water if the bill was shot down (not getting 60 votes in the senate and all GOP voting YES).
But not allowing a vote? Can't hold Dems accountable on that one.
or it could be that they haven't done jack shit and they NEED to do something before 2018 elections.
