Members Khan Posted June 26, 2017 Members Share Posted June 26, 2017 I have a feeling even Jesse Helms would be considered a "pinko" by today's GOP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted June 26, 2017 Members Share Posted June 26, 2017 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy As the Civil Rights Movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened pre-existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South to the Republican Party that had traditionally supported the Democratic Party.[4] It also helped push the Republican Party much more to the right.[4] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 26, 2017 Members Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) This is going to sound mean but I don't believe that that #1 Troll is who they claim to be. Sorry but I don't believe you. I'm going to use a phrase that Trumpists like to use "Picture... or it [your claim] doesn't exist". Please register in order to view this content FYI folks there are many 'fake Black people' trolling around on social media so I think I have a right to be suspicious of someone who has posted about the stock market incessantly but shows absolutely no knowledge or facility of the issues that have affected Black people in this country or worldwide. Sorry but I don't buy it. At all. Call me a 'Doubting Thomas' if you must. Edited June 26, 2017 by DramatistDreamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roman Posted June 26, 2017 Members Share Posted June 26, 2017 I didn't say anything about ignoring the right......I'm talking about trolling, complete ignorance and people who don't want to discuss politics. they pop in, post stuff and then split. period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 26, 2017 Members Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) You're right, even though at times we all get baited unfortunately. It's just a great general rule to ignore people whose clear and sole intent seems to be to continually provoke.

Members JaneAusten Posted June 26, 2017 Members Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Most of that was before 1965 and the passing of the Voting Rights and Civil Rights acts which LBJ acknowledged would lose the southern states for the democrats for at least one generation. So stop parroting the points relative to the party when it wqas actually reasonable and believed that public policy could help people. Corporate taxes under Eisenhower was also around 75% so are you advocating for those policies, policies under Roosevelt and Eisenhower which helped elevate the middle class? Educate yourself and read about the Southern Strategy. My fault. I take the blame. But it is evidence of ignorance and that they could care less about what the GOP stands for today. White men and corporations. How sad that they have done nothing in terms of public policy since Eisenhower but hey if Eisenhower is the prototype, can we get the 75% tax rate on businesses again?

Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 26, 2017 Members Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) The snippet I posted this morning was just a piece of the Trump administration's "policy" in Africa, which is unsettling officials in the Pentagon and African leaders alike. It is clear that Trump wants a militaristic policy in Africa that diminishes humanitarian and developmental aid, which, even the generals fear will hurt American interests long term. African leaders fear that this emphasis on military-heavy policies over developmental will lead of higher unemployment and a ripe opportunities for militant groups to recruit jobless young men (and women).
