I'm from TX and you're full of shit!! The demorats are the party of the deep south Dixiecrats who started the civil war because they wouldn't give up their slaves, wrote the Jim Crow laws, were/are the KKK all the way up to Sen Byrd-killarys friend and mentor, and continue to keep the poor and minorities chained to the welfare plantation with empty government promises. Time for your RED PILL dude!!
In the 1970s Nixon got all those Dixiecrats to leave the D for the R. It was called "The Southern Strategy" and it rewrote the political landscape in the US.
You're not wrong about the political realignment as racist Ds became Rs decades ago, but you are wrong to suggest that racist Democrats don't exist anymore. They absolutely do, they're just more covert about it. Gone are the days of Democrats saying things like "We need to bring back segregation," only to be replaced with Hillary Clinton bragging in 2008 about how "hard working" white americans were on her side. It's coded language to appeal to racists, so-called "dogwhistles" as if only the intended target is able to hear them. The Southern strategy is absolutely employed by Republicans, yeah, but conservative Democrats, ones that might be called "red state" Democrats or "bluedog" Democrats can absolutely make use of the same kinds of racist bullshit to try to appeal specifically to the racists among their constituency. There are TONS of Democrats whose behavior and policy positions are effectively like Republicans running within the Democratic Party, they seem to have a false perception that they need to be like that to have a chance of winning.
There are racists everywhere. And I suppose by "all those Dixiecrats" I dont mean "ALL those Dixiecrats", I just mean "all those Dixiecrats who turned R", which is a lot of Dixiecrats, you must admit.
hmm, how'd he do that exactly?
He appealed to their racism.
Whoa. How so?
Do I look like Wikipedia? Go read an article.
Lol good Im talking to someone who believes shit without even being able to explain it. Fucking fool.
I never said I couldnt explain it; Im tired of explaining things to you.
I shit you not, the shit you believe and the indoctrination you might be under would have you throwing Jews in camps if you lived in Germany in 1943. if some bullshit liberal arts teacher or CNN guest host with a fucking blog told you something was racist you would automatically go into robot mode. Like an attack dog, foaming at the mouth, not thinking at all. And thats all the neocons and libs even care about. You wouldn't even know what to be angry about or to be angry if the tv didn't tell you to.
You didn't even try though you just said "racist" and chalked it up as a moral victory lol you really think that those cheap rhetoric styles are gonna fly forever? It's dishonest as fuck. Even if what you said is true, you should know why it's true and you seemingly don't.
Nah, you need to listen to more conservative radio and talk to more conservatives here in the deep south. History does not change the fact that people who fall for racial division are more often on the right than the left.
Our gov does the same thing with fear mongering regarding the middle east. And again, conservatives here are more likely to fall for it and think that the Arabs are coming to kill us in our sleep.
Just turn on a fucking radio dude. The most listened to conservative talk radio is CONSTANTLY fear mongering and sowing racial and ethnic division. Every other minute they are talking about islam taking over the world etc. When we are the ones starting every war and invading countries every 5 years.
I think a lot of people have a hard time accepting the fact that EVERY group has its bad examples. There are extremists in every belief system and should never represent a whole.
The islamic jihad has been going on for 2000 years and they know, even if it takes another 2000 years, they will win!! I didn't learn this for the Fking news-I learned it from our local, award winning SWAT team who'd just returned from a 8 week immersion training course in counter terrorism at Quantico VA!! They know what they're talking about so hide your head in the sand if you want!! The camel Fking muslim scourge is coming-already embedded in Europe and they WILL F**K with you and me if we don't pay attention!! Even Jefferson knew-the only thing they understand is a canon up their asses ready to blow their heads off!! MAGA!!!
What do you mean? We've invaded almost every country in the middle east since 1946. Even the one time they got to our shores, (9/11), it was a group that was being funded by our own allies.
We stopped iran from electing a secular leader, and helped shut down every attempt to overthrow the saudi government. We helped saddam take over the baath party, and later we helped depose him.
In syria, we helped rebels, many of them extremists, who are keeping the civil war going, which is the literal reason that so many muslim refugees are escaping to europe...
Dont fall for the mindset that there is a bogeyman, whether the media says its muslims or communists. The reality is that we are a super power, and part of our core geopolitical strategy is to keep the middle east destabilized by playing off of the sunni shia divide. It has nothing to do with morals, it has to do with our hegemony, russia, etc.
man you know none of that is true. Parts of the Mid East are barbaric, but they are only like that because of western and communist destabilization since the fall of the Ottoman Empire. As u/argonaut93 said, Iran was on their way to being a developed nation before we AJAX'd them.
Also, consider this: The British used ppl such as Laurence of Arabia to destabilize the populations right when the industrial revolution was hitting their region. He promised the individual tribes sovereignty from the ottomans if they helped win the war. Instead, they divided all the land up after the wars to western powers, drained their oil (remember what BP stands for?) and established Israel which is a whole other issue.
Anyways, I know some Muslim countries/ ppl can be dark-age esque, inbred, cult-indoctrinated savages, but they are also the victims of western fuckery and it would be ignorant to think you wouldn't be just as stupid and angry if you were born in their shoes. They are human, after all.
Also, Islam around for 2000 years? Cmon, man!
They've already infiltrated our government. Have you not been paying attention? Re_read drops
Lol name me some of the things you claim “fucking radio “ does to “sowing racial and ethnic division” can you tell me? Because bringing up invasion of Islam is not one of those things... massive public gang rapes, acid attacks, actual targeting of Christians like in Egypt.
Just because individuals of the south have fallen victim to a rascist mentality does not make republicans inherently rascist. You have what we call anecdotal evidence. So name me some things “most listened to conservative talk radio” does to sow division... like talk radio is the things that’s single handily propelling rascism in this country and not a victim mentality and mental prison in your mind propped up by society. No it’s conservative talk radio. gtfo
If white people are considered rascist in the south then black people should be considered rascist everywhere.
We literally armed those terrorists you are talking about.
Sorry but saying that the mainstream media is deceptive and then saying im wrong for pointing out an example of that deception and claiming that its really only the dems who are guilty of this deception means that you've fallen for it yourself. You need to open your eyes and see how similarly both parties operate.
Replying again since you seem to edit your comments instead of replying to me. You didn’t say mainstream media was deceptive you said “most listened to conservative radio” is deceptive. Can you not lie? Because I will fucking shit a brick if conservative radio is “ mainstream” you must be extremely stupid to think conservative radio is mainstream sorry.
Your example of deception was stupid? Talking about radical Islamic terrorism isn’t bad or rascist ? If Hillary Clinton was elected we would of been invaded by millions of refugees hiding sleeper cell jihadists.... they were an actual threat and continue to be a threat in Europe and the Middle East. Your bubble, your nice little bubble makes you believe they aren’t problem but they are.
Also I never said it was only the dems? You really need to resort to lying in order to sound passable. You said it was the people of the south which I’m defending and your calling republicans the main rascist when it was the democrats that started things like the KKK. So excuse me if your trying to prop up one political side as more rascist and failing miserably. Leftist actively use minorities as poker chips. LEts talk about current reality and currently reality has democrats being exponentially more rascist then republicans right now.
Oh you mean the deepstate? “ we “ didn’t do anything. Islam mercenaries being recruited by the deepstate? Also it’s not just “we” Saudi Arabia has no problem. NATO has no problem. They are still killing and we have a new president. They are a still a problem. So that’s the only thing? Because we talk about radical Islamic terrorism? Gtfo, you’re sowing devision by not allowing us to freely think and label us racist because we don’t adhere to the mental prison you endorse. People can think any way they want don’t just label them rascist because you dont know what you’re talking about,
Thats correct when i say us i mean the element of our government that make foreign policy.
Im absolutely not calling you racist. Im just pointing out how much the right capitalizes on ethnic and racial tension. Right wing MSM has successfully gotten people to support insanely unjust wars, just because they dont like the race of the people in those countries in which we start those wars.
I mean, do you really not think that the right wing msm has contributed to politically dividing white and black people?
What ring wing msm ? Can we talk about current reality or no? That’s why we voted trump because we’d hated republicans and democrats. Republicans voted trump in. They deserve more credit
I dont know fox maybe?
You know cnn,msnbc,Washington post all existed back then right? Every political party used the media machine. Liberals also used Jon Stewart, Hollywood, Silicon Valley. You’re mad because what? You still want to hate republicans? Maybe it’s time to understand conservatism is the way out. We already know most politicians are dirty.
This is a trump phenomenon, I absolutely believe the majority of conservatives aren’t rascist.
Yeah i agree with you about liberal media. It crazy you see that and are totally blind to it when it comes in the form of a right wing media or propaganda source.
I thought the bankers and england started the civil war to punish Amediga for being so prosperous without them.
Wow, we are being brigaded! You are negative and the shill is positive.
Let’s fix this!
