the problem is that this kind of political coalition completely fell apart between 1968 and 1980

once you give people enough economic aid to give them a minimum standard of living they turn against you a generation or two down the road for handing too much to minorities

Some hard things are called hard because they are in fact impossible, or close to it. Culturally shifting the south to leftism while also somehow unfucking the republic enough for any leftist representation to really appear is probably among that class of events.

Impossible might be too strong, but It is probably outside the scope of possible action of our extremely lovely republic.

well conviction at least

republicans are spineless by nature so they only acted on it under cover of strongmen buttholes


Yinlock posted:

so having conviction of any kind is good, even when it's explicitly about killing the people voting for you?

these idiots do not and will never think beyond voting R

as long as they can Own The Libs they will happily vote to kill everyone they love

You don't really "get it" but yea being honest and believeing in the bullshit you sell is more attractive than the flavorless oatmeal the democrats sell

It's pretty simple my dude.

I know it's tough to get around the fact that some filthy rurals are gonna get their lives made better with socialism but until you get at least some of them to vote for you more people are gonna keep dying

Poor people did that all on their own. Or, more accurately, white poor people were already racist it wasn't a conspiracy by the rich racists (who are also racist).

eventually maybe, I mean the north and the coastal west is much less racist than the south
