Chris Castelot Russia Occupies<p>Why, you may ask, is America so fucked up? Simple. The “southern strategy” employed by Nixon worked. It worked beyond their wildest dreams. Three simple steps:<br>1. Christian fundamentalism ( Christo-fascism)<br>2. Segregation. Jim Crow, Apartheid - call it what you will. Maybe just racism. <br>3. States rights. Basically the ability of states to enforce #1 and #2. And keep the feds out. </p><p>Gerrymandering has been a key factor for their success. Stacking the courts and electing incompetent morons who can be easily manipulated is a contributing factor too. But the most important thing is money. Lots and lots of money. Hire lawyers Fund think tanks. Flood every news zone. Buy social media. Control the news cycle 24 hours a day. Instill hatred, fear and insecurity. And lie. Lie about everything!</p><p>Worked like a charm. </p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern</span><span class="invisible">_strategy</span></a></p><p><a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/america" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>america</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/us" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>us</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/uspolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspolitics</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/maga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maga</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/repubicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repubicans</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/christians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>christians</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religion</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/libertarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libertarian</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/southernstrategy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>southernstrategy</span></a></p>
