I'm not going to play this goalpost game with you. I've said my piece on that in the post above yours.

You forget Reagan pushed the CIA to push crack into the ghetto, and into black communities, because of the racial animus of parts of the GOP and DC leadership. The Civil Rights Act neutered official channels to fuck with those groups, so they went to the people who specialize in dirty deeds...

Some of the luckier ones got to keep their home ranges (Utes, Navajo, Salish-Kootenai, most Alaskan tribes), but the BIA's continued existence is not something we should be proud of as a nation. The GOP may not have 'caused' the wrong to begin with, but it certainly passed up the opportunity to...

And the GOP did nothing to stop the Dems machinations, because they thought in terms of 'the vote a racist is better than no vote', without thinking about the long-term consequences of such, so were glad/ok with for the former Dixiecrats switching sides. Before Trump the GOP burned the media...

The former Dem racists voted GOP because some of the GOP leadership at the time held rather racists views themselves. The PR game/media ecosystem is what it is, and the GOP refusal to understand it, how to harness it, and use it for their own gain, outside of people like Trump, is part of why...

You can try to play a gotcha with this, but I can and will inundate this thread with examples and citations, some of which will only require citing other threads on this very forum. How many images of Confederate flags at GOP rallies/events do you want me to find, before you are satisfied? How...

Yes, the Trail of Tears is a horrible thing, no disagreement there, and yeah, the Bureau of Indian Affairs is one of the most useless, corrupt, and harmful Fed agencies. And yes, the Dems did a 180, but the GOP never tried to keep out the openly racist people the Dems kicked out, and never...

Southern cooking could make the south much more liked, if they just didn't cling to the worst 5 years of it's history.

Except the monuments to Confederates never should have gone up to begin with, and the fact they did is part of why people got momentum towards removing anything 'honoring colonizers' or the like. If parts of the US had not spend decades trying to defend and protect the legacy of the...

And yet when statues of Confederates come down, or people cheer about the removal of the Confederate Flag from government land/institutions, it is members of the GOP who most often complain loudest. At least you admit the South underwent massive post-war pro-Confederacy indoctrination after the...

Maybe if the South took pride in something besides the worst 5 years of it's existence, and stopped trying to fly the flag of the Confederacy out of stubbornness, and let go of the lies of groups like the Daughters of the Confederacy controlling school books in the South for generations pushing...

That's what I've noticed too; the old school/Fusionist conservatives do not know how to talk to people outside the GOP's internal propaganda machine, and instead insist on citing facts that matter to the GOP's internal narrative, but don't really come into play outside it. I mean it's taken a...

Uh huh, and yet it doesn't tend to be Dem voters who defend and fly the Stars and Bars these days. You put a lot of verbage together to try to pretend that the modern GOP doesn't have issues with neo-Confederates and the ilk trying to parasite onto it, since they cannot parasite onto the Dems...

You dumbfucks arguing the Confederates were Leftists, just to try to pretend that the Confederates didn't see themselves as 'conservatives', are why the left keeps winning and why the Right makes a mockery of itself on the regular whenever the subject of the Confederacy comes up. The...

I got turned off on DeSantis after he used that AI-made fake footage to try to attack Trump. It showed he will openly and unabashedly fake footage, and who knows what else, to push the campaign.

See, the problem here is one of you thinks that because the other is immersed in social media and the 'perspective' of blue cities circles, they have a skewed perspective which is 'dangerously immersed' in the realities of the places of power. That's not really the case, though I think it is a...

Looks like Google got a heads up about something, and is now updating it's ToS with new 'Sensitive Event' rules for monetization/promotion of services/posts about the content.

He embraced Hollywood fame and Cowboy cache, along with corporate conservatism, which still thought the finances of nations states and households operate the same way. The power of previously being a civie celebrity and media darling is something most politicians don't have, and has a...

This all ignores the elephant in the room; Conservative Boomers were always outnumbered by centrist and liberal or progressive Boomers after Veitnam killed, or converted to liberals, many young Conservative Boomers. Vietnam was a great filter for in that regard; the liberal and moderates felt...
