Accept that Donald Trump is not a fluke of American politics, and let it set this country free
Looking back over roughly a half century and tracing the evolution of the Republican Party's political strategy, a trump, or similar individual's presidency was in no way surprising, it was inevitable.
The impeached president simply pumped the Republicans' Southern Strategy up on steroids and created his culture of hatred and extreme paranoia among his devoted fanatics.
The Republicans' long-term plan, first developed during the middle 1960s and focused on a particular segment of society, was designed to exploit their shared ethnic hatreds and resentments. Specific issues, carefully chosen for each election cycle have been used to inflame the anger of this reactionary portion of the American population.
In addition to racial hatred, which remains a reliable GOP tactic to this day, abortion has also been a decades-old favorite to dangle in front of the easily agitated pro-life conservatives. (Unfortunately, that right-wing, pro-life passion for human life, disappears with the newborn's first breath outside the womb.)
In recent years, the LBGT "problem" has been employed by the Republicans to get their rank-and-file base fired up.
Tens-of-millions right-wing extremists have been created by years and years of the Republicans' Southern Strategy. The tactic validates the irrational and unwarranted enmities planted in their minds by the Republicans repetitious talking points. Over the decades this constant repetition of talking points and misinformation has been hammered into the reactionaries' collective conscious by right-wing "news" broadcasts, podcasts, radio and TV pundits, Internet blogs, social media, etc. The inescapable right-wing propaganda, eagerly accepted by these tens-of-millions of conservatives has encouraged their ethnic and bigoted animosities to branch-out.
Any and all Republican Party allegations, unsubstantiated rumors, goofy conspiracy theories, etc. leveled at any one or all of the targeted groups or individuals, become instant "facts", which are accepted without question by these tens-of-millions of reactionaries.
The GOP's hate and fear-mongering has been their singular message to their base for fifty-plus years. It's included in every political issue discussed by the Republicans. Taxes, infrastructure, reforms of any kind, domestic policy, or any other subject, there are always enemies of white, Christian conservatism on the other side.
Currently, it's voter fraud by the Democrats on a scale so incredible it boggles the right-wing mind. Naturally, there has been no evidence of these uncounted thousands, possibly millions, of fraudulent ballots, but the RWNJs know these illegitimate ballots will soon be located. After all, they've heard rumors and GOP politicians have said so.
No, the trump fiasco of a presidency was no fluke, it was made inevitable by the lasting success of the Republicans' Southern Strategy.
And no way are any of the Blue Dog Democrats' political problems the fault of the progressive wing.
