You're aiming to make some extremely narrow remark pretty damn soon, aren't you?

There it is. lol

Lol

appeal to the Rich? lose votes.

Republicans have always been the pro business party

seems like a good thing

Since Nixon’s southern strategy, and really cemented in Bush’s 20014 campaign

*2004

Definitely if you're on the business end

of things.

They’ve run a right wing identity politics play

To cobble together a coalition

nixons southern strategy lol

flipped one seat

...

and then they voted for carter

That was literally the name of it

Uuuuh ok just look at an electoral map I guess

This is a weird thing to argue against

sure look at the election immediately following Nixon pls.

Anyway, there’s been a tension at times in the Republican Party between the populist right wing (which includes the very poor) and the business interests (which include the very rich)

Trump was in a way the victory of the populist right (racist/anti-immigrant/protectionist) against the pro-business right

anyway... moving on

The dem coalition is a different beast, at least since 65

Relying on unions (middle class) urban poor and blacks

But that’s been changing as the cities change, and now educated white suburbanites, which used to be solidly republican are leaning left

So to answer your question, republicans are the party of the ultra wealthy and the rural poor, democrats are the party of the urban middle class and educated suburbans

muh southern strategy

She's telling you things in good faith.

You're reacting poorly.

how did that southern strategy work out in 76?

a simple IQ map next to the electoral college would show that Republican areas have high average IQ.m.

might be all those illegals and minorities dragging down that average. who knows.

lmao

would you like me to bring out education and party statistics

These guys love to bring up IQ - wonder how many of them have even taken an IQ test? Probably just pretend that the white average is where they'd place... <:lol:583236542580129825>

Well realistically they think they are well above average. But cool story nonetheless

It's fine.

If you repeat something the necessary amount of times to them,

it inevitably becomes true,
