In 1898 a #WhiteSupremacist mob staged a #coup in #WilmingtonNC. The #WilmingtonMassacre toppled an elected government of Republican & Peoples Party members and murdered up to 300 black citizens. There was no accountability; their coup successful, the #Dixiecrats rewrote history.
I just have had it with this nervous talking back-stabbing b*tch Nancy Pelosi How dare she blame #PresidentBiden when she and the #DixieCrats bullied him out of his second term giving the GOP-Nazis a better chance defeating a women candidate Saying Biden should have dropped out sooner is insane Also the Biden's election Team Bears lots of responsibility for allowing that debate to happen after coming off the G-7 overseas trips instead of just canceling. Nancy is full of shit.😡

Anybody heard from the " Free Palestine frauds?

Has anyone heard from the DROP-OUT-BIDEN #DixieCrats that drove #Biden out of a second term which gave Trump the second term. UNFUCKINGBELIVABLE)

I WILL SAY IT AGAIN.

I responded by saying if they bully Biden out of the race that we would lose.

blame the DROP-OUT-BIDEN #DixieCrat

Back in the 1950s/60s, there was a term in the Deep South: "#YellowDogDemocrat"... meaning they would "vote for a yellow dog before they'd vote for a #Republican."

#Nixon & #JFK changed all that. #Nixon's #SouthernStrategy won over Southern #Racists by appealing to their #racism, while Kennedy won over Republicans by championing The Poor & Middle Class.

I'm a (new) Yellow Dog #Democrat, and apparently, those old #Dixiecrats are now #RapistDictatorFelonRepublicans.

#Democrats lock on #Latino vote that they took for granted has apparently expired, along with most of the party's former core principles.

While #Republicans are clearly defined, no one's quite sure what a Democrat is, other than a politician hitching their wagon to Joe Biden, whom polling says less than 30% believe has the mental acuity and physical fitness to enter another term.

In a tight Presidential race, Democrats can little afford to lose even a fraction of the Latino vote, the fastest growing voter bloc in the US, which is expected to provide about 15% of the total 2024 #ballots cast.

As recently as 2012 , 70% of #Hispanic & #LatinX voters dug the Donkey, but that total has severely spiraled into toilet since, with new polls showing only 20% of #LatinoVoters expressing faith in #BidenAdmin to tackle #economy & #crime, their most important issues. In a recent Ipsos Latino voter poll commissioned by Axios & Telemundo, Trump had a 22-point edge over Biden when asked about dealing with economic issues.

Despite a supposed hot economy, decades of #Democrat promises in aspirational immigrant communities have oft delivered few tangible results that voters see on a daily basis, and political consultants say any legislative achievements of Democrats have largely gone unnoticed by most voters in the news spin cycle. Democrat leadership runs most of America's largest most visible cities, many of which have become a locus of crime, #drogas and inevitable urban decay, while occasionally notorious corruption cases such as NJ Sen. Bob Menendez, U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown's prison time, or the racist LA City Council scandal, all certainly didn't help bolster the image of Democrat politicians.

Despite Trump's overtly bigoted dictator envying #demagoguery, Democrats are now polling as low as they did in 1960 with non-white voters, back when Klan connected #Dixiecrats controlled much of the party caucus.

Hispanic heritage voters with roots south of the border now seem willing to accept #GOP candidates, many who have claimed religious faith as a mantle. At least one in five Latino voters surveyed as considered switching parties to Republican which, if enacted upon, is a big enough margin to throw the 2024 Presidential election.

#Biden either barely leads, or trails #Trump in many recent polls of #latinovoters such has #NYTimes which says Trump now has a 6-point edge with Latino voters, a significant slide, since #JoeBiden won 60% of their vote just a few years ago.

Other polls, have shown tighter or even greater divides in a downward direction, as Democrats have politically focused on less bread & butter basics, identity politics and "diversity, equity and inclusion", many Latinos and other non-white voters, have forged ahead on their own, starting small & large businesses, feeding families, with little interest in the pissing match of petty party politics in America.

I figured you were confused by "Democrats" and that's why I posted a link to #SouthernStrategy that separates #ModernDemocrats, #SouthernDemocrats, #BourbonDemocrats, and #Dixiecrats here https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111346223337568439

It is complicated, but the gist is summarized in the thesis that societies are neither static nor homogenous. See https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111346147083193639

#KevinPhillips' book, “The Emerging Republican Majority” provided a blueprint for Southern Strategy ⬆️ #Republican Party adopted to win over #White voters alienated by #Democratic Party embrace of #CivilRights in 1960s. He pushed to exploit White racial anxieties. Beginning with #Nixon, it produced GOP majorities for decades

The GOP’s ‘southern strategy’ mastermind just died. Here’s his legacy.

Kevin Phillips help set the Republican Party on the path that led it to Trump.

I'm guessing you've conflated "Dems" above with #ModernDemocrats, #SoutherDemocrats, #BourbonDemocrats, and #Dixiecrats

It's difficult to understand that societies aren't static. Times change. People change. Countries change. Their attitudes & policies change. Even more difficult to fathom is that societies aren't homogenous. Not all of #USA thinks the same way

Many years ago I read a fascinating article in a #Zine. It was a write up concerning the establishment of the culture of the #South in the #US. How the first settlers were used to a certain kind of living, and how they brought that with them, and how their starts affected everything afterwards, all the way from the #dixiecrats to the #SouthernStrategy. I remember one of the keywords was “princeling” and it stuck with me. I can’t find the article, so it’s lost to time, but it was amazing. #today
