      @edkrayewski @normative @KevinNR Trump was a product of the Southern Strategy, not democracy.

      @HeerJeet @normative @KevinNR and even aside from that there is nothing mutually exclusive about the Southern Strategy and democracy

      @edkrayewski @normative @KevinNR In a multi-racial democracy, it's dangerous to create an ethnically monolithic party.

      @HeerJeet @normative @KevinNR you are trying to blame one side for a process that happened on both and is a natural part of democracy

      @edkrayewski One party is genuinely multi-ethnic & multi-racial,other party is monolithically white. False equivalence to say are same.

      @HeerJeet one party has spent decades explicitly exploiting racial identities to create monopolies of votes. You are blame shifting.

      @Jaden4808 @HeerJeet Warren Harding wanted a federal anti-lynching law and Dems stopped him. Harding would not be a Dem today.

          @HeerJeet @Jaden4808 the left has turned black folk into a cash cow. From cop unions to public schools. Your white lies won't work forever
