The age old play book of Republicans, that Lee Atwater outlined many years ago:
And so it remains the same. And so it will continue with Trump in office. I mean these people have outlined what they wanted to do, and dumb asses will still vote for them. Republicans will ALWAYS make life worse for black people en masse. Hell, even for middle class and lower class white people. That is part of their very raison d'etre.You start out in 1954 by saying, “N*gger, n*gger, n*gger.” By 1968 you can’t say “n*gger”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N*gger, n*gger.”
Bu bu trans people. bu bu migrants. Classic divide and conquer that people fall for time after time. It's a very simple concept that people for some reason have a hard time grasping - it's about the allocation of resources, who controls them, why and how. That's it.
Everything else is noise, intentionally made to distract.
