At one time the "Basketful of deplorables (and then some) were in the Democratic party. The thing that I want to know i: Whose bright idea was it to try to woo those people to the Republican party?

Better to have let it rage through the population, then? Compassionate for who - people potentially dying or suffering, vs. people upset that they can't make as much money as they wanted to for a while?
Recently saw a tweet from some conservative religious activist of some sort, lamenting the fact that "only" some 500+children have died from Covid. Looks like some folks have chosen their sides according to their socio-religio-political views, alright.

But you see, Candace Owens declared at a Congressional committee hearing that the Southern Strategy never happened. So whom to believe? A paid shill for right wing extremists, or the people that actually took part in the process?
The late, legendarily brutal campaign consultant Lee Atwater explains how Republicans can win the vote of racists without sounding racist themselves:
You start out in 1954 by saying, “Ni@@#&, ni@@#&, ni@@#&.” By 1968 you can’t say “ni@@#&”—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 “Ni@@#&, ni@@#&.”

Yes, I am sure that she is right. It never happened. It is just a coincidence that the Republican party began to oppose equal rights and all of the southern states swung over to it and are now its strongest supporters. Nothing do with racism at all. Say! What's that over there?
