The myth of the so called "southern strategy" brought about by leftist propagandists.

[RetiredGySgt]

In one breath you claim we are the confederates, but then you can't explain why it's you who flies the confederate flag. Or why it's you who defends Robert E Lee statues.

Republican claims that Democrats are the Confederates rely on historical facts from the 1860s, when Southern Democrats supported slavery and secession, while the Republican Party was founded on abolition. Critics argue this ignores the massive political shift in the 20th century where the parties swapped platforms on civil rights and ideology.

• The Shift (Mid-20th Century): The Democratic Party began supporting civil rights, starting with figures like President Truman and culminating in the 1960s with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
• Realignment: Southern conservatives, who were previously Democrats, moved to the Republican Party, especially in response to civil rights advancements and the "Southern Strategy," reversing the regional alignment.

While it is accurate that the historical Democratic Party of the 19th-century South opposed abolition, political historians note that the modern Democratic and Republican parties have exchanged platforms, making direct comparisons to the 1860s contentious.

Funny how you can never blame the plantation owners (Corporate America) for anything. It's illegal immigrants fault, not the illegal employers who hire them. It's Iran's fault, not the corporations who stand to profit.

Dude, if you would just pay workers a little bit more they wouldn't feel like slaves.

You guys love the cheap labor. I mean the people who really run your party. They're playing you blue collar dopes for fools. Are wages going up for you now that the illegal workers are all gone? No? Whycome?

the democrats allowed in millions for cheap labor and future voters, who is kicking them out? A democrat or a Republican?

republicans themselves admitted there was a Southern Strategy.

Exclusive: Lee Atwater’s Infamous 1981 Interview on the Southern Strategy

The forty-two-minute recording, acquired by James Carter IV, confirms Atwater’s incendiary remarks and places them in context.

t has become, for liberals and leftists enraged by the way Republicans never suffer the consequences for turning electoral politics into a cesspool, a kind of smoking gun. The late, legendarily brutal campaign consultant Lee Atwater explains how Republicans can win the vote of racists without sounding racist themselves:

You start out in 1954 by saying, “N*, n*, n*.” By 1968 you can’t say “n*”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N*, n**.”


This is the same Lee Atwater who would run the openly racist Willie Horton ads against Mike Dukakis in 1988.

This blew up in the faces. Their redistricting was shot down while the GOP was upheld

Is Trump going after illegals in red states or only in blue cities? So don't kid yourself. Your slave owners in red states aren't worried that ICE is going to raid them.

And Trump has already admitted he ain't going after hotels, restaurants and golf courses. You know, stuff he owns.

Isn't it crazy that Trump is solving the illegal problem in blue cities but not where you live? Thanks Trump.

ICE is country wide but the majority of the current illegals are in sanctuary states and cities. which gets priority. Retard.

so the democrats weren't confederates? wow. when did that change?

Focus on red states where the governors don't mind. Of course the Democratic mayors might complain but this will be in red states. Who will care?

Democrat LBJ signed the voting rights act into law. That drove white racists to the GOP.

Right wing Supreme Court weakens the Voting Rights Act and aids GOP efforts to control the House​

The supreme court’s voting rights decision is a death knell for American democracy​

Supreme Court paves the way for largest-ever drop in Black representation in Congress​

REally? Check out 19 ******* 76. You filthy lying piece of shit.

Right wing Supreme Court weakens the Voting Rights Act and aids GOP efforts to control the House​

Why have laws to increase minority representation at the expense of white people?

Do white people count for less than non-white people in your mind?

That is a rhetorical question. EVERYONE knows that the answer is yes.

The supreme court’s voting rights decision is a death knell for American democracy​

It's not. YOu are just being a lying asshole. You are butt hurt that your blacks are getting LESS discrimination in their favor.


We need to purge ALL such racist, anti-white discrimination from our laws and institutions, and purge anyone that fights to protect that racism too.

Supreme Court paves the way for largest-ever drop in Black representation in Congress​

Serves them right for voting dem.

The supremes are seeing things with obvious partisan eyes. But I get it. It’s racist to divide lines based on race. It might backfire. Now your district just got more liberal

Lefties judges have been using the court to advance the progressive agenda for generations now.

I hope you are correct, that the conservative judges are finally, after generations, realizing that they need to fight back.


Regardless, my point stands. It is good to stop the anti-white racist agenda of "increasing black representation".

The Southern Strategy worked as the once solid Democratic South is now solid Republican

Republicans exploited Democratic support for Civil Rights to turn voters Republican.

Oh, boy. . . . Umm, the 1964 Civil Rights Act only passed thanks to Republican support. 82% of Senate Republicans voted for the act, whereas 69% of Senate Democrats voted for it. 80% of House Republicans voted for the act, whereas 61% of House Democrats voted for it. Southern Democrats in the Senate filibustered the act for 74 days. If the vast majority of Republicans in Congress had not supported the act, it would not have passed in 1964.

The Democrats lost the South for a number of reasons: Their shameful opposition to the Vietnam War and their subsequent betrayal of South Vietnam after the Paris Peace Accords, their embrace of abortion and gun control, and their support for forced school busing.

The solid south at the time was Democratic
That Democratic voting block skews your party statistics

That block is now Republican as Republicans exploited racist policies to switch the electorate

Ya we should just ignore where all the most illegals are cause democrats are to beholden to the idea of more power.

If they ain't messin up your state why do you care?

Is this like when you owned slaves and we said we couldn't compete with slave labor? Are you saying you can't compete with blue states who employ illegal workers for less than what southerners will ask? That argument I would understand.

The myth of the Southern Strategy is a lie that the left CANNOT give up.

They NEED it, because otherwise, their entire world view falls apart and they are then left naked to be judged on their ideas and merits,


and nothing terrifies them more than that.

It's not even a big deal. But it's a fact. When Democrats gave blacks Civil Rights, the South went red. And the white racists of the north turned into Republicans too.

Dude, don't be stupid. I live in Metro Detroit. I lived in Detroit. I know which party is the racist party. Blacks know too.

Despite the facts that Lincoln freed the slaves and Robert E Lee was a Democrat. It's you who worships Lee today right? RIGHT???

Dude. Don't be a vile lying asshole. This country is not racist against black people. It is racist FOR BLACK PEOPLE, against white people.

Stop being a simp.

Civil War is over. Lincoln wanted to put the war behind him, as fast as possible. His plan was national reconciliation. And that is what we did.

So.... who are you to try to renege on his plan? What is the basis for your moral authority that is greater that ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S,

you simping leftard asshole.

We were racist for black people yes. We drew lines so they could have some representation in our government. We forced you to hire 10% of your work force black people since you won't hire them otherwise.

Everything WE did for blacks, it was us liberals not you white Conservatives. Even if back then we were Republicans and you were Dixiecrats.

Allow me to repeat facts that you continue to ignore:

By 1980, the Democrats had lost the South for a number of reasons: Their shameful opposition to the Vietnam War and their subsequent betrayal of South Vietnam after the Paris Peace Accords, their embrace of abortion and gun control, and their support for forced school busing.

And, FYI, in 2008, Obama won the Southern states of Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia.
