And yet the GOP's Southern Strategy undid all that. Proof is in the pudding. The racist anti-black "welfare" propaganda that you so cavalierly repeat without even thinking for a second how incorrect and patronizing it is undid all that. Why would POC want to join a party that believes all African American and Hispanic voters vote in the majority the way they do because "the welfare system pays them to be" Democrats? They wouldn't. Proof is in the pudding. I vote AGAINST the Republican party expressly because of such Southern Strategy dismissals and stereotypes of black and brown Americans. You guys are your own worst enemies.
