Assertion: The Southern Strategy is a massive conspiracy theory.
THe contention made is that for over 50 years, the republicans have been speaking in the open, using secrete\ "code" or "Dog whistles" that only the massive white racist population, which seems to be at least tens of millions of people, know is actually the political candidates letting the racist voters know that the candidates are racist too, and will... govern racistly in favor of white people.
Now, for 50 years, the republicans have never actually done that, or delivered on those secret promises, but the theory just ignores that.
It is nothing but a massive smear campaign against good people, people who are sick and tired of being called names, by race baiting a-holes.
