yep.

[DiogenesLamp]

heh heh heh; struck a nerve, I see...

Funniest thing you've said so far. I think i'm doing the nerve striking, or else you wouldn't have gotten your feathers in a huff.

however, you made the point that the Republicans couldn’t win presidential elections with the existing post civil war electorate...

I don't think I said that. More important is the congressional districts. That is how they control the purse and the laws. How do you suppose these guys voted? More government or less?

so which party won in 1868, in an electoral college landslide, with only the existing anti pubbie electorate you refer to...?

Weren't they still denying white people the right to vote in the Southern states at that time? Yeah, of course if you only allow people to vote who support you, you are going to win elections. Stalin and Castro won them that way all the time.

And now i'm going to bring up Credit Mobilier.

And the message that conservatives want to restrict voting rights is a black racist trope.

[griswold3]

White nationalist trope? Throwing sand in your face to blind you from the truth.
Cloward Piven, over whelming the system with numbers.

[bort]

Congress should call this guy and other white progressives in to testify and ask them this question: How many black people who make under 250K a year live in your neighborhood?

The Democrats sold and celebrated the Replacement theory for 15 years.

Bob Beckel brought it up every night, as did CNN and MSNBC.

Barack or Moochelle said some progress would only happen as whites died off.

[KittyKares]

a simple exit poll could determine if that were true.

This one makes me really angry while Biden busses trucks and flies millions of illegals in every year to take over the country.

Criticizing anyone for stating the obvious is absolutely outrageous.

Carlson suggested that immigrants were being brought to the United States to shift the electorate to the left...This was a white-nationalist trope,

trope: a figurative or metaphorical use of a word or expression. - Oxford Language.

If you say, "Chicago's worker bees buzz around the streets," you're using a trope. - https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/trope

Actually,

Majority of Latino Voters Out of G.O.P.’s Reach, New Poll Shows A New York Times/Siena College poll found Democrats faring far worse than they have in the past with Hispanic voters. But overall, the party has maintained a hold on the Latino electorate. - https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/18/us/politics/latino-vote-polling.html

Study finds more immigrants equals more Democrats --- and more losses for GOP. - https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/study-finds-more-immigrants-equals-more-democrats-and-more-losses-for-gop

Latinos support Democrats over Republicans 2-1 in House and Senate elections. - https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2022/11/11/latinos-support-democrats-over-republicans-2-1-in-house-and-senate-elections/

American will give you welfare but harvest your soul. But the GOP does not seem to care to mix with Latino immigrants much.

[Williams]

The democrats are scumbag racists.

[tomkat]

Re my #3 above, I absolutely believe it was/is happening.

The original post was merely my attempting a ‘fair and balanced’ response.

fofl :-))

I have heard that Fox itself are feeding these stories about Tucker to these outlets. Don’t know if it’s true, but it certainly wouldn’t surprise me one bit if it is true.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Just shows how low Fox has sunk into the gutter..shows who they really are and its a shame cause Ive been a long time Fox viewer..even after 2020 when I still watched..and look at what they are doing now, no different than the commie left

[Robert DeLong]

I stopped watching them shortly after Tony Snow passed away. I loved OAN when it came on. Hatted to see them removed from DirecTV. Would have gotten rid of DirecTV, had I not been married. But she’s a keeper, so DirecTV gets to stay despite my hating them. 🙂

my post to you...’you made the point that the Republicans couldn’t win presidential elections with the existing post civil war electorate...’

your post in response ‘I don’t think I said that.’

your post in question ‘They wanted those votes because they knew the existing population of citizens would never vote for them.’

I think you said that...

‘Weren’t they still denying white people the right to vote in the Southern states at that time?’

three confederate states, Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi were denied the vote as they had not been restored to the Union; of the other eight states of the confederacy, 16 EV’s went to the dem Seymour, 41 to the pub Grant...

‘Yeah, of course if you only allow people to vote who support you, you are going to win elections.’

you are supposing that the denied states would have voted for Seymour; as the majority of the former confederacy went for Grant (AR,TN,NC,SC,AL,FL against GA,LA) your supposition is weak in the extreme...

‘I think i’m doing the nerve striking, or else you wouldn’t have gotten your feathers in a huff.’

first of all, my feathers are perfectly in place, and secondly, nothing you could say would ever cause them to be otherwise...

Carlson needs to quit, not wait for Fox to pay him his contract and release him. He’s got offers left and right — many much more lucrative than his Fox contract. Any possible non-competes could be fought out in court at a later time.

[Allegra]

. Over and over, Carlson suggested that immigrants were being brought to the United States to shift the electorate to the left...

I remember reading a well thought out article in the American Spectator in 1992 talking about this. It was around this time we started seeing a significant increase of immigrants in the country.

[unlearner]

Why do the Democrats want open borders but also do not want illegals in their own neighborhoods?

Who are the real racists?

DiogenesLamp: "If you don't see the connection between expanding the voting franchise to poor ignorant people who love more government, and liberals gaining power, then you are a bit dense.
It's always about gaining power.
It's never about morality or human kindness."

Of course, you realize, don't you, that Thomas Jefferson's "Democratic" party got its name because Jefferson was all in favor of expanding the voter rolls to include not just property owners -- which had enfranchised women and freed-blacks -- but all men "free, white and 21".
Jefferson's new laws which expanded the vote to all adult men also disenfranchised property owning women and African Americans.

And Jefferson was 100% successful in that his Democratic Party dominated US national politics until they declared secession and war on the United States in 1861.

My point is that this idea of guaranteed election victories by adding more of your own voters to the rolls is as old as the Republic itself.
Jefferson's "Democratics" played that game successfully from 1800 to 1860, then lost it when Republicans were able to fill western states & territories with anti-slavery immigrant farmers, until 1932, when the Great Depression caused many of them to remember their European socialist roots and vote for the closest thing they could find here, Democrat Franklin Roosevelt.

Democrats have always been an alliance of Big City immigrants with globalized Big Business, which back in the Old Days was King Cotton.

As for "morality or human kindness", no human being in all of history could say "no" to the opportunity to make money and gain political power by selling voters their own version of "morality or human kindness".
