Had to circle back to this slide to talk about just how "completely" the #PartySwitch took.

Here's a graphic showing the #Alabama presidential voting history: pretty much solid blue from 1828 through to 1968 (with some caveats, but that's a digression for another time), and then solid red from 1980 to present.

I summarized an exploration of the #whitesupremacy and #racism that powered the #PartySwitch https://mstdn.party/@duaneaubin/110079047481450546

There have always been other candidates around the big winner. What drove the big winner to the big win? Great question. One consideration is the combination of timing, and a disingenuous, wink-wink, dog-whistle message that creates the sense of inclusion, of being an insider while pursuing an agenda to perpetuate #WhiteSupremacy with plausible deniability.
