An Old, Old Tactic By the GOP

Except for trump’s obvious age and increasing dementia, since Biden withdrew from the race a nominee’s age (and mental clarity) has become irrelevant (though, it should not). During this period of indecision by Party strategists on how to campaign against Kamala Harris, trump, in his own way, has taken a page from a long-standing Republican blueprint. He is attacking Harris for being bi-racial. Such attacks are certain to impress his devoted followers.

Looking back at the GOP’s history, the Party’s Southern Strategy was developed in the 1960s and relied on conservatives' innate racial and ethnic hatreds. Since then, the Republican Party has nurtured and exploited right-wingers’ proclivity for racism, bigotry, homophobia, xenophobia, misogyny, etc. Beginning in 2015, trump deftly took the Republicans’ own Southern Strategy to levels unseen before.

“Media Matters for America writer Eric Kleefeld wrote: ‘The Republican Party is now officially running on a campaign that you can’t trust biracial people.’” Kleefeld must be very young if he believes this is something new for the GOP.

They didn't show up for Abrams.

Exit Polls Contradict Narrative That Stacey Abrams Lost Black Male Support In Georgia Gubernatorial Race​

First, let’s get one fact out of the way: It’s hard AF to get a Black person elected as governor in this country.

On Tuesday, Wes Moore made history by becoming the very first Black person to be elected as governor of Maryland. But the statistic that’s even more telling is the one that shows he’s only the third Black person to be elected as governor of any state in U.S. history. In other words—nobody should be surprised Stacey Abrams lost to incumbent Brian Kemp in Georgia’s gubernatorial race.

In fact, Abrams‘ loss, unfortunate though it may be, provides an opportunity to dispel a loud and wrong narrative that prevailed throughout much of her campaign. The idea that Abrams was losing ground with the Black community, and Black men, in particular, turned out as false as the notion that Black male voters would be instrumental in getting Abrams elected.

For example, Run The Jewels rapper and Great Value political commentator Killer Mike suggested that Abrams—a woman who was instrumental in galvanizing democratic Georgia voters in 2020—was not doing enough to attract Black men. Mike even praised Kemp for “running an effective campaign” with Black voters, despite the fact that Kemp’s only connection to the Black vote appears to be his enthusiasm for making them disappear.

Unsurprisingly, the exit polls tell a different story.

Sure you are.

Well, I have to add that people usually get what they so richly deserve.

I don't disagree.

What I do stand by is that there wasn't as much excitement as you would think there would be--hence the 9% difference between black men and women.

 

[frigidweirdo]

The Dems are.preoccupied with racial gender and sexuality division. Imagine if a GOP let alone the president if he was GOP and said. "Im looking for a white VP," ? You voted.for Biden and just as Harris.said "you got exactly what you voted.for"

Seems like the Dems want to represent different people. The Republicans are just trying to find legitimate ways of being racist.

 

[Stann]

Faced with the prospect of a Harris presidency I'll bet many will repent and vote for Trump.

Repent for that devil ? You're not making any sense.

People tend to not be as excited over state races and that does need to change.

Yep and Trump is going to get his.

Trump does have dementia. Saying crazy shit in a loud voice is just saying crazy shit loudly.

As I was arguing last week with someone....

Supposedly Harris has "rallied" the democrats and the polls are reflecting that. I say, "Thank goodness" but I also say, "What is it about a Trump presidency that didn't rally you before?" Democrats got to pull their heads out of their asses and understand the truth that the GOP learned long ago (one they seem to be forgetting by the way)...you can't govern if you don't win. In politics, winning is all that matters. The specter of a Trump presidency should motivate anyone with a conscience or a brain to work against it.

Yeah, Democrats in leadership need to get a backbone and forget about going high when Republicans go low. It is time to get in the mud and get bloody. Republicans can dish it out, but they cannot take it.

 

[Stann]

Historically inaccurate. The GOP has never been the party of the KKK and Jim Crow. We also in current times aren’t the party that runs and promotes nominees because of only skin color or gender. The democrats are the only party who chose a VP from a limited pool of they must be a POC and they must be a woman. The best person wasn’t even a consideration.

The GOP doesn’t have Zoom meetings for just white dudes or just white women. We either have a meeting everyone is invited to or we don’t do it.

Your calls of racism fall flat and should actually embarrass you to the point you change your racist ways.

If the KKK was never part of the GOP they certainly are now.Backong trump 100% along with every other far-right wing hate group there. He might even be their GOD.

There's a blood test for it now. Let's pass a bill that all politicians over 65 have to be tested for it and if positive they must end their service to the country. I'm sure trump will fail. Paranoia ,tantrums , bouts of depression and seclusion , delusions; he's got about all the worst symptoms.

" Them's fighting wurds." Better we just sit back and watch the republicans destroy themselves. They're following trump's example , they're all going to self-destruct soon.

Good point.

The hell he wasn't. His comment had no relation to the question his punk ass wa asked.

He was asked what dei meant..and he was trying to answer, clumsily, but it wasn’t about her biracial makeup.

But then you will always take an opportunity to make everything about race, so, what else should I expect.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Funny you say that because a black man had been elected before 2020. You side is racist. Your candidate is a racist POS.

Ah, so you think as long as they elect one black man, all is good? Come on lol, they could have elected another black person, they could have elected the first black woman! Or the first gay man! Or the first Hispanic man! But I guess since they elected Obama, they proved they are not racist…so now they can go back to old white guys lol.

No..and no..

Try not telling me what I think. I think that what the democrats have done over the last 60 years is why I am able to live as I do today. I think that what Biden has done for blacks is more than any other president since Johnson, and that includes Obama. Trump did little for us, but he told white people that he did a lot. Your party is the party of racists, look at the republicans in here as examples. And Trump cemented the fact he is a racist Wednesday.
