Aren't white Protestants already a minority in the US?

No more than 40% of Americans are white Protestants.

True enough, the founding and initial settling of America was mostly their doing.

But the country is no longer majority Protestant, let alone majority white Protestant.

Just saying.

David Brooks says Donald Trump Hates America

So apparently Donald Trump wants to make this an election about what it means to be American. 

He’s got his vision of what it means to be American, and he’s challenging the rest of us to come up with a better one.

In Trump’s version, “American” is defined by three propositions. First, to be American is to be xenophobic. 

The basic narrative he tells is that the good people of the heartland are under assault from aliens, elitists and outsiders. 

Second, to be American is to be nostalgic. 

America’s values were better during some golden past. 

Third, a true American is white. 

White Protestants created this country; everybody else is here on their sufferance.

The rest of the article is anti-Trump and post-racist patriotic boilerplate.

With a grain of truth, allowing the French and their Revolution their due place in showing the way to the supposed democratic capitalist future of mankind.

It is worth reminding everyone that that is exactly the ideal future O wanted America and its allies to lead the way toward, peaceably, but steadily.
