The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

LOL. libruls and their urban legends.
Too bad none of them ever bothered to read more of the Atwater transcripts. All they do is resurgence the cherry picked parts that support their lying narrative.

so what you had was two things happening that totally washed away the Southern Strategy, the Harry Dent-type southern strategy. And that is…That whole strategy was based - although it was more sophisticated than a Bilbo or a George Wallace - it was nevertheless based on coded racism. The whole thing. Busing. We want a supreme court judge that will not bus. Anything you'd look at could be traced back to the race issue and the old Southern strategy. And it was not done in a blatantly discriminatory way. But the Reagans did not have to do a Southern strategy for two reasons: Number one, race was not a dominant issue. And number two, the mainstream issues in this campaign had been “Southern issues” since way back in the 60s. So Reagan goes out and campaigns on the economics and on national defense, the whole campaign was devoid of any kind of racism, any kind of reference.

Because Lee Atwater would totally go out to a lib reporter and just bare his evil raaaacist soul.

Hint: yeah, no.

liberals can only process brain food in the smallest chunks.
