Well, yes, they are both "establishment", until Trump and MAGA came on the scene. Now MAGA Republicans are pro the American PEOPLE. The Southern Strategy is a Democratic myth. Two videos to illustrate this: Why Did the Democratic South Become Republican? www.prageru.com/videos/why-d...

LOL, PragerU's little video is from Dinesh D'Souza. Please explain how the Democrats built a time machine and planted the receipts for the Southern Strategy all over the 60s and 70.

I dislike Candace Owens, but her video on this topic is pretty good. The Plantation: Then and Now www.prageru.com/videos/the-p...

Sooooo, you're posting antisemitic white nationalists like Candace Owens, who in turn preaches debunked Thomas Sowell "plantation" nonsense?

I already explained why. Debunked? How?

Claiming one party is solely to blame for slavery ignores history. Southern Democrats defended slavery pre-Civil War, but political parties changed. By the 1960s, Democrats led civil rights reforms, with many segregationists joining the GOP. The Southern Strategy was real. It's documented fact.

Equating social programs and schools in black neighborhoods with “virtual plantations” misrepresents both context and intent. Social safety nets were created to address poverty. This is propaganda from the white conservative opposition to social safety nets stemming largely from anti-Communists.

School-provided meals are lifelines for poor families, aiming to fight hunger so kids can succeed, not to “remove traditional responsibilities.” Blaming parents ignores systemic poverty and unemployment, which stem from broader economic inequality.

Claiming Democrats “break up black families” with welfare policies is a lie. Study after study shows factors like job loss, redlining, and incarceration, often driven by BIPARTISAN policy, are more responsible for family instability.

Portraying black conservatives as “punished” ignores that public figures of all ideologies face criticism. Thomas Sowell, Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas...all have prominent platforms. Dissent is a sign of a vibrant democracy, not oppression. No one is entitled to criticism-free speech.

Asserting black voters are duped or enslaved by Democrats insults their intelligence and agency. Black voters support candidates based on policies about justice, healthcare, and the economy, not because of political “masters.” Candace Owens doesn't think much of black people.

Painting racism as imaginary or “made up” gaslights lived experience and facts, mountains of evidence show ongoing disparities in policing, housing, and schools. Facing these realities is not “victimhood,” but refusing to accept injustice.
