As a teen in the South, I read an anecdote that really takes the cake in describing why poor white people are rabidly hostile to any efforts to improve their lives, and why Southern racists never suffer any consequences at the ballot box no matter grotesquely corrupt, incompetent, or destructive they are. I think it was a remark by an LBJ-era Dixiecrat:  “Give a white man a tight pussy, cold beer, and a warm place to shit, and he’ll empty his pockets for you as long as he feels superior to any negro.” I can’t find the exact quote, however nothing sums up our disordered national ordeal over the last three centuries better.

Unfortunately, the only solution is demographics. It’s not like previous generations of racist white people woke up one day, realized they’re horrible assholes, and vowed to make amends–no, they died off. Not to be indelicate, but ~8 million far white Silent Gen & Baby Boomers are going to their final Klan rally in hell between now and Election Day 2024. As of 2020, some 50% of America’s youth that will replace them are people of color who will not become insane screaming MAGAts.
We’ve chopped off the Tr666p cult leader’s head, and now we just have to watch as the GOPnazi corpse spazzes out.

Alternate Price Of Book In Canadian Dollars Gives Man Little Window Into What Life Would Be Like If He Were Canadian

DETROIT—”Offering the U.S. citizen a brief opportunity to vicariously experience a different nationality, the Canadian price printed on the back cover of a book gave local man Peter Brown a little window into what life might be like if he were Canadian, sources confirmed Wednesday. “Wait a second, so in a world where I’m Canadian, I’d be paying $22.99 for this paperback instead of $16.99?” said Brown, wondering aloud if the Canadian version of himself would be upset upon seeing that the number for him was higher than it was for Americans. “That’s amazing. It’s pretty interesting that they call them ‘dollars’ over there, too, even though their money looks totally different. Just imagine, if I’d been born in Canada, my wallet would have queens and prime ministers in it instead of a bunch of presidents. It really makes you stop and think.” The Detroit resident later confirmed his intention to apply for a passport so he could one day cross the border and discover all the new and fascinating cultural experiences awaiting him in Windsor, Ontario.”

@¡Andrew!: Census estimates a white-plurality nation by 2043. Not sure when white voting plurality kicks in. Either way we have at least one long decade ahead of us, and it’s not like other shit ain’t going down fast.

@¡Andrew!:
Obama gave them healthcare!

Unintended consequences… etc.

@ nojo, it’s not the overall racial proportions of society, it’s generational tendencies to vote Republinazi. As early as 2024, the Millennials will be the largest generation by far, with Gen Z coming up fast. Gen X is split 50/50 at worst. The eldest Millennials turned 40 this year, and collectively they own a whopping ~4.6% of the nation’s wealth–they’re absolutely screwed, and that’s before Tr666p’s Second Great Depression. If they stop Instafacing and Faceb666king long enough to realize how ruthlessly they’ve been fucked over by the Boomer GOPnazis, Plantation America’s rulers are finished.

Millennials Control Just 4.2 Percent of US Wealth, 4 Times Poorer Than Baby Boomers Were At Age 34

“Millennials, who are the median age of 32 today, control just 4.6 percent of U.S. wealth, far behind the 21 percent Boomers had at about that same age a generation before. These working young adults will need to quadruple their bank accounts in the next two years in order to match the financial share controlled by their parents during the late 1980s, when the median Boomer was 34 years old… the richest 50 American individuals have as much money as half of the United States, or 165 million people.”

Earl Butz the Ag Secretary refered to blacks wanting tight pussy, loose shoes and warm place to shit.

@ DElurker,
Interesting. I heard it the other way around, but it’s possible that I’m misremembering some ancient 90s snark. Still works though : )

Looks like Twitter just banned 99% of its users. “While we encourage people to express themselves freely on Twitter, abuse, harassment and hateful conduct continue to have no place on our service,” a blog post from the Twitter safety team said. “Today, we are further expanding our hateful conduct policy to prohibit language that dehumanizes people on the basis of race, ethnicity, or national origin.”https://www.rawstory.com/2020/12/twitter-bans-content-which-dehumanizes-based-on-race-ethnicity/

This really starts in the late 50s and early 60s – draw a straight line thru Goldwater to Nixon to Reagan t0 HW to W through to Trump. It’s the same ideology, it’s the same game plan.

Only twenty 9/11s every day until Christmas!
Thanks, Tr666p!

@¡Andrew!: And our healthcare system is on the verge of catastrophic failure. Everything he touches turns to lead.

@¡Andrew!: Here’s the actual LBJ quote, “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket.” Which pretty much explains the vote of every white guy making an hourly wage voting for the GQP.
