"I Didn't Downplay It"

[LV426]

Got proof any of that is true or that any of it will happen? But if you're right then that means those people are leftists but there's a reasons those idiots dont turn out to vote and that's because their leftists. You people live in unicorns and gumdrops.

If Conservatives thought that increasing turnout would win elections for them, they wouldn't be trying to hard to suppress people's votes.

Sure it is.

Conservatives can't win elections if everyone votes. That's why they kick people off voter rolls, add poll taxes, and demand voter IDs.

Here is the father of voter repression. Paul Wyrich started the repression back in the 80s and it has been a huge factor in Reub party politics since . The Repubs know that the smaller the turnout, the better they do. So they have not only tried to stop the vote but tried to stop likely Dem votes.

Hello Nordberg,

Great video. Thanks for posting.

Here is the father of voter repression. Paul Wyrich started the repression back in the 80s and it has been a huge factor in Reub party politics since . The Repubs know that the smaller the turnout, the better they do. So they have not only tried to stop the vote but tried to stop likely Dem votes.

Straight from the mouth of the original suppressor. Speaking to Republicans:

"I don't want everybody to vote. ... Our leverage in the elections goes up as the voting populace goes down."

Weyrich's admission that the new strategy of the Republican party would be to engage in voter suppression came just 9 years after the Powell Memorandum:

"On August 23, 1971, prior to accepting Nixon's nomination to the Supreme Court, Powell was commissioned by his neighbor, Eugene B. Sydnor Jr., a close friend and education director of the US Chamber of Commerce, to write a confidential memorandum for the chamber entitled "Attack on the American Free Enterprise System," an anti-Communist and anti-New Deal blueprint for conservative business interests to retake America.[14][15] It was based in part on Powell's reaction to the work of activist Ralph Nader, whose 1965 exposé on General Motors, Unsafe at Any Speed, put a focus on the auto industry putting profit ahead of safety, which triggered the American consumer movement. Powell saw it as an undermining of the power of private business and an ostensible step towards socialism.[14] His experiences as a corporate lawyer and a director on the board of Phillip Morris from 1964 until his appointment to the Supreme Court made him a champion of the tobacco industry who railed against the growing scientific evidence linking smoking to cancer deaths.[14] He argued, unsuccessfully, that tobacco companies' First Amendment rights were being infringed when news organizations were not giving credence to the cancer denials of the industry.[14]

The memo called for corporate America to become more aggressive in molding society's thinking about business, government, politics and law in the US. It inspired wealthy heirs of earlier American industrialists such as Richard Mellon Scaife, the Earhart Foundation (whose money came from an oil fortune), and the Smith Richardson Foundation (from the cough medicine dynasty)[14] to use their private charitable foundations (which did not have to report their political activities) to join the Carthage Foundation (founded by Scaife in 1964)[14] to fund Powell's vision of a pro-business, anti-socialist, minimally government-regulated America based on what he thought America had been in the heyday of early American industrialism, before the Great Depression and the rise of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal.

The Powell Memorandum thus became the blueprint for the rise of the American conservative movement and the formation of a network of influential right-wing think tanks and lobbying organizations, such as The Heritage Foundation and the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) as well as inspiring the US Chamber of Commerce to become far more politically active.[16][17] CUNY professor David Harvey traces the rise of neoliberalism in the US to this memo.[18][19]

Powell argued, "The most disquieting voices joining the chorus of criticism came from perfectly respectable elements of society: from the college campus, the pulpit, the media, the intellectual and literary journals, the arts and sciences, and from politicians." In the memorandum, Powell advocated "constant surveillance" of textbook and television content, as well as a purge of left-wing elements. He named consumer advocate Nader as the chief antagonist of American business. Powell urged conservatives to undertake a sustained media-outreach program; including funding neoliberal scholars, publishing books and papers from popular magazines to scholarly journals and influencing public opinion.[20][21] " wiki

Powell never intended the memo to be made public. It was discovered by a reporter who published it in WaPo.
