The southern strategy was made up leftist mumbo jumbo you lying sack of shit.Actually it is, for at least the last 50 years – from the Southern Strategy, which manifests today as white grievance politics and racist replacement theory, to the rise of the Christo-fascist right, to anti-immigrant nativism.
Conservatism is fundamentally fascist; conservatism is illiberal, anti-democratic, reactionary, and authoritarian – seeking to compel conformity and silence dissent.
Fascism fears positive, beneficial change, diversity, and inclusion – as do conservatives, we see this with the right’s efforts to demonize and vilify gay and transgender Americans, Americans of color, and immigrants.
Fascism elevates the state over the individual, as does conservativism – more government, bigger government at the expense of individual liberty; denying women their reproductive autonomy, voter suppression and disenfranchisement, laws hostile to gay and transgender Americans, laws violating the First Amendment rights of social media, and measures to ban books and subject matter conservatives oppose.
That’s why Trump is a product of the GOP/conservativism, of its ignorance, fear, racism, bigotry, and hate.
