hese were previously mostly Dem but after the deliberate Southern Strategy are mostly Repub. Are? Jim Crow was removed a long time ago and Republicans voted for it 80% vs 61% for the Democrats.
Republicans have always been about equality.

Jim Crow was just Democratic politics and is still their politics.

You’ll never get him to agree, because his entire worldview relies not on facts but on controlling the conversation.
It’s immaterial to him if he is right or not.
Reactionaries are inherently anti-intellectual, because it allows dim dipshits to hold court and have their ideas treated by their fellow regressive peers as the equivalent of that of people who actually know what they’re talking about.
It’s so much easier to “know” things when you can make up whatever bullshit you want or can cite another boot-licker who is also using motivated reasoning and magical thinking.
Do you think he cares that Republicans tried to have a Fascist coup before?
Or that Regan was flooding inner cities with cocaine?
Or that the Civil Rights Act was signed into law by a Democrat?
He doesn’t give a fuck, because all he cares about is projecting the appearance of being correct. The actual facts are irrelevant.

The sooner rational people stop bothering to have civil conversations with the delusional lunatics running this community the better. Just let the 4 idiots and 1 Russian troll get bored of talking to eachother and they’ll eventually leave the platform.

100% agree, thinking I’ll deprogram a brainwashing victim with some internet comments would be delusional.
I just don’t want to see anyone sourcing Dinesh as suggested reading without pushback. I don’t want a low information individual to get sucked in by far-right propaganda.

I wasn’t intending to criticize you, I get it.
Just wanted to add some context.
