The Lost Boys of the American Right

https://politicaldictionary.com/words/southern-strategy/

Essentially when the Dixiecrats faded away it left the Southern white voters disenfranchised so both parties tried to court them into their camp.

As you can see, the republicans were ultimately successful in this attempt.

Sorry, Tinker, but that is a bunch of BS not supported by any evidence.

The unsuccessful Dixiecrat party died in 1948 because of a lack of racism, and they all went back to being democrats.

Libertarian Goldwater had a long track record of NEVER being a racist. And he was a fluke candidate because of Rockefeller's divorce scandal. And, No candidate could have defeated LBJ running as JFK 2.0 for the assassination sympathy vote.

A much higher percentage of Repubs voted to pass the 64 CRA than Dems.

Repubs led the fight for women's suffrage while the socialist dems opposed it.

The claim that there was a "secret" campaign that voters were unaware of is nonsense. It is a Dem myth.

May I ask, whose electoral map is that?

Nice you think my support had something to do with it, though I've not been a voter that long.

You're incorrect about "The Southern Strategy", by the way, not that it was Nixon's idea. The strategy was launched by the Goldwater campaign in 1964. By the time Nixon ran in 1968, Democrats' support of King and the civil rights movement both generally and under the Kennedy and Johnson administrations had already turned Southern voters against them though not yet to Nixon's benefit. Wallace carried the South that election with his overtly racist campaign. But those votes were there for Republicans next time, and have been there ever since.

You have no evidence to support that leftwing narrative. No campaign speeches, no campaign posters or flyers ... zip, zero, nada.

VP Nixon and MLK worked together to pass the 1957 CRA, the very FIRST cra.

And yes, you still support denying Black Americans an education, etc., as you always have, racist plantation pig.

You're right. I went and checked, and I don't have any of those campaign posters, not one. What I do have is historical research. You should get some though you probably won't find it in politically crazed websites.

Of course. You have NO evidence ... zip, zero, nada. All you can do is pretend to be stupid at this point, Massa Whitey.

What did Martin's Dems do the last 50 years? ...
1.keep Black Americans trapped in Norther ghettos
2. demonize their religion and fatherhood
3. destroy their traditional families
4. deny them an education
5. encourage Black women to kill their children before they are born
6. create permanent poverty with generational welfare
7. deny them police protection
8. release criminals back into the community
9. dump infected illegals in their neighborhoods.
10. and "Lynch" Black republicans


The Democrat party is still the socialist party of racism, and stereotyping according to immutable physical characteristics.
 
There isn't, this is a lie made up by the left to keep minorities living in fear of republicans in order to retain their votes.

Hell, we were the ones who freed the slaves, we passed the majority of civil rights legislation in the US, we have always been inclusive.

It wasn't until Nixon's southern strategy that the democrats were able to get blacks to side with them.

Back when Slavery was abolished in the US, there were only two parties- The Republicans and the Democratic Republicans!

The Republican Party of Lincoln actually is the party that became the Democratic Party, and the Democratic Republicans is the party that actually became the Republican party!

That's not true.
 
What's untrue about it?

That there were only two parties back then. There were four candidates running in 1860 from four different parties and there were other parties that didn't run candidates.

That is one.

The second one is that the parties flipped, they did not, none of their policies changed.

Your whole statement is false.

The Democratic and Republican Parties have not always had the same ideals that they have today. In fact, America's two dominant political parties have essentially flipped ideologies in the time since they were founded.

The Democratic Party was founded in 1828 while the Republican Party dates back to 1854.

In its early years, the Republican Party was considered quite liberal, while the Democrats were known for staunch conservatism. This is the exact opposite of how each party would be described today.

This change did not happen overnight, however. Instead, it was a slow set of changes and policies that caused the great switch.

At the outbreak of the Civil War, Republicans controlled the majority of northern states. The party sought to expand the United States, encouraged settlement of the west, and helped to fund the transcontinental railroad and state universities. Additionally, because of growing tension over slavery, many Republicans became abolitionists who argued against slavery.

Democrats represented a range of views but shared a commitment to Thomas Jefferson's concept of an agrarian (farming) society. They viewed the central government as the enemy of individual liberty. Because most Democrats were in southern states, they fought to keep slavery legal.

As the war came to a close, the Republican Party controlled the government and used its power to protect formerly enslaved people and guarantee them civil rights. This included the three Reconstruction Amendments, which won Republicans the loyalty (and vote) of America's Black population. Unsurprisingly, most Democrats disapproved of these measures.

However, a change had begun in the Republican Party following the Civil War. Northern industrialists had grown rich from the war, and many entered politics afterwards.

These new wealthy politicians did not see much sense in supporting the rights of Black Americans when the nation was still largely white. By the 1870s, many in the Republican Party felt that they had done enough for Black citizens and stopped all efforts to reform the southern states.

The south was left to the white Democrats and their oppressive policies towards Black citizens after the Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction. With the end of Reconstruction, the "Solid South" voted for Democratic presidential candidates for the next 44 years.

Almost 60 years later, the Great Depression became a catalyst for a massive political shake up. The Republican Party had continued to be dominated by wealthy businessmen, which meant that they had come to favor laissez-faire policies that supported big business.

These policies were effective when the economy was booming, but were disastrous when it wasn’t.

When the economy crashed in 1929, the Republican president, Herbert Hoover, opted not to intervene, earning him and his party the ire of the American public. Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, sensed the need for change.

He campaigned on a promise of government intervention, financial assistance, and concern for the welfare of the people. He won the 1932 election by a landslide. It was FDR’s campaign policies that caused a major shift in party ideologies.

Republicans opposed everything about FDR’s government. Primarily, they saw the growth of large government as harmful to the federalist foundation of the nation. This too has come to define the ideals of the Republican Party.

Race and equality began to return to the center of politics in the 1950s and 1960s. Race did not necessarily fall into a party viewpoint at this point; instead, it was more of a regional issue. Southern Democrats and Republicans both opposed the early Civil Rights Movement, while Northern Democrats and Republicans began to support legislation as the movement picked up steam.

In 1964, Democratic president Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. In the 1964 election, Republican candidate Barry Goldwater publicly opposed the new law, arguing that it expanded the power of the federal government to a dangerous level.

It was this argument that led to a final, decisive switch. Black voters, who had historically been loyal to the Republican Party because of the 1866 Civil Rights Act, had already been switching to the Democratic Party.

However, upon hearing Goldwater’s argument against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the majority of Black voters left the Republican Party in favor of the Democrats. They saw the Democratic Party as advocates for equality and justice, while the Republicans were too concerned with keeping the status quo in America.

As the 60s and 70s continued, Democrats sought reform in other places, such as abortion and school prayer. White southern Democrats began to resent how much the Democratic Party was intervening into the rights of the people.

By the 1980s, white southern Democrats had become Republicans, and the majority of the south was now Republican. The Republican Party now is solidly conservative while the Democratic Party is the liberal one.

Your comment is evidence you're a debate-forum halfwit.
 
Blacks aren't fucking stupid and they overwhelmingly support the democrats. Who freed the slaves or who passed civil rights legislation is ancient history and meaningless. Today those who don't give a shit about any minority are what you call republicans.





There is no question who is the racist, every outwardly racist group in the country supported trump.

And beyond that is that when rights for PoC were being forced on the Southern States, often at the end of gun barrels as they refused Federal court orders, the Republican party split. All or most of those who supported rights for PoC went to the Dem party and the GOP consolidated around a racist and intolerant and hateful base.

You know my comments are facts which is why No jpp democrat poster even tries to refute any of them.

The Orwellian Left Newspeak. :palm:

The Abolitionist movement was started by Quakers, and Christians led the fight to abolish slavery around the world. Leftists have never forgiven Christians, republicans or Lincoln for ending slavery.

Bullshit.

In 36, racist FDR bought 75% of the Black vote and won 100% of the white lib socialist KKK vote.

In 65, known racist LBJ and the Dems bought the Black vote with Socialist Gov't handouts. Often referred to as the Great Society or War on Poverty.

Which ended up being a war on marriage and fathers. And out of wedlock birth rates soared among all races, but Blacks were targeted by the Dems and have been especially hard hit.

Of course, Mooch Obama promoted Baby Daddy culture. So sad. She introduced her husband/senator as her Babies' Daddy. :palm:

The State became women's husband and the father of their children.
:palm:

I remember one time in the fourth grade some of us decided the award for best artist should go to the kid who made the biggest picture.
 
What is going on? Why are parts of the right — especially the young right — so infested with outright racists and bigots?

Some readers might respond to my question with a question: Why am I surprised? The right has always been infested with racists and bigots, you might argue. Yet while I freely acknowledge that there was more racism on the right than I was willing or able to see before the rise of Trump, there has been a distinct change in young right-wing culture. It is dramatically different from what it was when I was in college, in law school and starting my legal career.







Yeah, right, BidenPresident; your're a lawyer- and guess what (?) - I'm Richard Nixon !


You never went to law school and you don't have a legal career, BidenPresident, it's clear from the content of your posts on this formum that you are far too stupid to have ever qualified for any kind of University or college courses that weren't pure bullshit like: "Queer Studies"; "Social Justice Studies"; LGBTQ studies or "Feminist/Women's studies" and the like. You certainly never studied law and there is no way on God's green Earth that you have a "legal career". Don't make us laugh, you would probably have trouble getting laid in a cheap brothel, BP, let alone earning a living as a real shyster.



But I don't think anyone is surprised at this latest piece of pure Bull-Shit you have dropped, because you are already well-known on this forum as a LYING, LITTLE TURD !.
