In American politics, the Southern strategy was a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans.As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidates Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South who had traditionally supported the Democratic Party so consistently that the voting pattern was named the Solid South. The strategy also helped to push the Republican Party much more to the right. By winning all of the South, a presidential candidate could obtain the presidency with minimal support elsewhere.

Try harder.

hygiene items to only be available for purchase from commissary

Including things like pads or tampons.

Look at what was happening at the Greer Center.

It’s all across the state. Very deeply entrenched - look at how the whistle blower had her pictures posted around town/was sexually harassed in retaliation for bringing up the physical abuse of children/vulnerable adults.

I have personally begged news outlets to cover things like DHS not reporting missing, DHS throwing away reports of abuse, cover ups…. No one cares. Everything’s Sinclair.

If we ever return to federal sanity, maybe things will get investigated. But childcare and mental health care and education here are hellish.

It’s already been happening in Oklahoma btw. Can’t get the fucking news to cover it.

Don’t forget the posing next to the signs for “Alligator Alcatraz.” Will they feel any shame when the mass graves are found?

Remember though, taking HRT and getting gender affirming surgery is “mutilating” your body.

Angels in America is a play and was made into some made for TV movies, yes. I don’t think Roy Cohn the man ever said that, although he was gay and it matched his attitudes.

When I’ve shared articles about cis women being accused of being trans in bathrooms/harassed, the response is always “this wouldn’t have happened if trans women stayed out of women’s bathrooms to begin with.”

They just seem to want to hate.

My local gay bar posted on Facebook about a massive increase in harassment, as well as a physical assault on a patron.

Stochastic terrorism.

A trans woman was attacked in Washington last week. People on Facebook are mask off, saying it was deserved.

Is this going to explode into an orgy of violence and then finally die down? Will something bad enough happy than people will be shamed back into calling evil, evil?

There were two separate shootings at homeless camps last week. I barely saw coverage of it.

I feel so much pressure and fear that I can’t think. I don’t understand why people are filled with so much hate. It can’t feel good, can it?

Mongolian throat singing is nothing.

Gotta whip out modern classical music.

I like studying to Penderecki myself.

Honestly hoping that over the “piled in mass graves” alternative.

Cops are going for felony charges. Insane.

Conservatives have explicitly gone after SEL (social emotional learning) curriculum. It’s one of those toxic keywords like “CRT” that they attack instinctively.

I’ve seen local universities get harassed on Facebook for having queer studies classes.

I feel like Disney has internal stuff? I listened to a podcast where an ex employee changed the fonts on a bunch of stuff to be wingdings, etc, and made everything unusable.

Kanopy is a streaming service my local library has, and it’s great for documentaries, foreign films, and older movies.

David Irving didn’t invent Holocaust denial. Is he guiltless in propagating it?

Many of them don’t see the value in an education. Look at “unschooling” etc.

Kids would mute the classes and watch Netflix. It was a complete joke.

Self paced online classes are also really popular now. You can Google the answers and use LLMs to write your essays, which aren’t typically graded anyway.

“Kingsley Shacklebolt” and “Cho Chang”…
