No need to ask why. The GOP has spent the last 60+ years manipulating the ignorance & hate of its primarily white base for the sake of power. They started in the states, put 6 racist traitors on the Supreme Court & now control the rest of the federal govt.

They also manipulated the blue folk to be fair, mannerly, and docile. We don't have the substantial fire it takes to get the upper hand. We're going to have to become as nasty as they are if we hope to survive.

From 2016.

That one's obvious: they are the same side. Why the Republican party decided to become white supremacist is slightly more interesting, but the "Southern Strategy" is hardly news.

I’d also be curious what these groups say about Tim Scott and Byron Donalds. Do they get a pass because of party affiliation or nah?
