You're just being stubborn. Or in denial.The southern strategy was not a myth. It's a fact. Do you know who Lee Atwater is?The easy answer is Donald J. Trump. True, Trump was the first modern Republican to win the nomination based on racial prejudice. And, yes, racial resentment does more to explain support for Trump than even ideology.
But Trump is not acting in a vacuum. He is instead riding forces set in motion a half-century ago. His identity-based nomination should be seen as the logical culmination of Republicans' 50-year "Southern strategy" to make politics primarily about race and identity instead of economics.
What happens in politics," Schattschneider writes, "depends on the way in which people are divided into factions, parties, groups, classes, etc. The outcome of the game of politics depends on which of a multitude of possible conflicts gains the dominant position."
Politics involves many issues, across multiple dimensions. But in a two-party system like the one we have in America, there can really only be one primary dividing conflict at any given time, since there are only two parties.
1. The Southern Strategy is a myth.
2. Trump ran on Trade and Immigration.
3. If you don't let go of the Racism Myth, you will never understand anything about half this nation.
If you are going to pretend it's a myth or if you really believe that then I'll take you a lot less seriously.
Lee Atwater - Wikipedia
Yes, maybe that was actually Atwater. Or maybe it wasn't.
He gave his opinion. One that is not backed up by the facts.
If it was him, it is not clear that he ever voiced these ideas in his head out loud. It has not been established that his view of the South flipping was correct and indeed, I have seen convincing studies showing otherwise.
Nixon, the supposed father of the Southern Strategy was THE major force in desegregating Southern Schools, and enforcing busing in general.
He also vastly expanded Affirmative Action.
His way of "dealing" with Southern Racist voters, was to slam though desegregation fast and early so that it would be a done deal by the time of his reelection.
That's hardly pandering to them.
You need to be more suspicious when liberals tell you bad things about their enemies.
Here's a new question. What % of blacks will vote for trump in 2018? If he wins even 1 over hell be a 2 termer. If not why didn't he win them over.
Or he could cripple and blind people and you'll defend him. Watch.You're just being stubborn. Or in denial.The southern strategy was not a myth. It's a fact.

For the same reason that republicans have not been getting more black votes.
Successful liberal propaganda.
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, THE MEDIA WILL BE TELLING BLACKS (AND BROWNS) THAT THE NEXT 4 YEARS ARE HELL, AND TRUMP IS EVUL.
Trump could make the lame walk and the blind see and the media would slam him for putting black nurses out of work.
I disagree. You're fooled into thinking the midia is liberal. I got news for you. Even the cons didn't want trump. They just embrace him nowYes, I notice you guys are setting things up so when you pull shinanigans and the media exposes you you'll just say, "the media is lying".Lets see his results.The strategy of making people dependent on government in order to make them compliant is a long standing DEMOCRATIC strategy.
That is what Newt was referring to when he referred to Obama as the "Food Stamp President".
Trump's policies, that fired up the Republicans base is all about increasing the INDEPENDENCE OF American workers.
WATCH FOR THE MEDIA trying to distract you from that. They will be lying to you.
A LOT.
NOt sure what you are referring to.
I'm talking about results. Jobs. Wages. Improvements in healthy families. Decreases in crime.
Watch and listen for them, because the media will NOT TELL YOU, any news supporting the idea that Trumps policies are working.
Or he could cripple and blind people and you'll defend him. Watch.You're just being stubborn. Or in denial.The southern strategy was not a myth. It's a fact. Do you know who Lee Atwater is?1. The Southern Strategy is a myth.

I've asked you to watch "jobs and wages" and secondary effects of that to judge Trump by if he succeeds.

Errr, are saying I should watch jobs, wages and effects also?
I guess thats why all the white hate groups voted for him then.If there's no difference between the parties why are BLACKS shitting themselves over the trump victory?Sealybobo wants to be a white savior so bad.
Actually other than hiring that alt right breitbart guy, I really don't see anything racist about trumps agenda. I think they just use race to win votes.
Clearly the GOP is going to be tough on welfare and that's going to negatively affect a lot of poor people not just blacks. So you are correct, white liberals are just as racist as conservatives, we just care more about poor people. All poor people. See the difference? You will.
So the racist part of me thinks Paul Ryan and trumps plan for poverty is going to be good for the poor black community just as its going to be good to get all the white slackers off welfare too. And if he brings jobs back no one will have any excuses. In fact unemployment is already pretty low. No excuse now. Is there?

What if that doesn't happen?
I can only go by what I see. Let's compare me a college educated man who's 45 almost 46. At Ford ID be 1 year away from a 30 year pension. I know you disagree but the point is now the middle class worker doesn't get enough the white collar gets it all now. The ceo's pay has skyrocketed and workers left behind under trump. Watch. Its not his fault it's the GOP. He's just the figure head.Paul Ryan's already working on it. Just waitSure but you'll see. Major cuts to both programs. And you'll clearly defend it.
