(5,902 posts)It was the clever positioning of themselves since 1964 as "the white man's party" that has gotten them this far.
They can lie - and even commit treason - with impunity because to many white voters, "they're with us (and protect us against minorities)."
Same trick all fascist parties have used through the ages.

And until some fleck sticks, all those balls will pile up at the feet of the target, so that they can point to the fogbank of steam rising from it and say "You know what they say, 'where there's smoke....."
