I recall how a released inmate helped sink a presidential campaign & helped usher in more usage of prejudice in “implicit” ways that are more explicit now.

Powell wrote it & the four formed #Heritage to counter Nixon's "moderate tendencies." Coors funded it. The original tome is serially retitled & is now #Project2025.
They are the demon architects of the long-game takeover of the #American republic.
I trace it back to #LeeAtwater
it all started with #LeeAtwater

PS: Miles Taylor, someone I respect, is missing a key point: the OG Republican Operatives including #KarlRove and #LeeAtwater and their campaign messaging operatives would NOT have Exiled Young GOPers for #NAZI speech — they would have Schooled them in how to make it “palatable” for mainstream. 😬
Ah well. Back in the day, #LeeAtwater and #KarlRove would’ve laughed heartily at these young GOPers “brio” and “creativity”—then Schooled them on how to Refine their racist and misogyny DogWhistles to make them acceptable to the “mainstream.” Those were the days! 🥴 www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
this all started with #LeeAtwater, IMHO
It looks like #FoxNews took up where #LeeAtwater & his #southernstrategy left off. All #GOPcorruption & #GOPpropaganda.
Basically, to the Trumpies, DEI is anything that doesn't enshrine WASP supremacy in all things. They can't say that openly, at least, not yet, but they're trying to. It's just like what #LeeAtwater said about this: youtu.be/X_8E3ENrKrQ?...
Racist Donald Trump colluded with corrupt law enforcement and manipulated mentally ill/vulnerable people to serve as patsies in these ruses for sympathy. Children saw their father's head Corey Comperatore blown off at his KKK rally. #endfascism

Lee Atwater didn’t just shape the modern GOP—he built the whole damn fear machine. Racial panic, culture war hysteria, and weaponized grievance? That’s his legacy. #LeeAtwater #GOP jodymartin385012.substack.com/p/lee-atwate...
"... Mr. Atwater spent his final months searching for spiritual peace. The man renowned for the politics of attack turned to apologies, including one to Michael S. Dukakis..."

#LeeAtwater lives, but there will be no forgiveness.
#LeeAtwater, some consider the Father of the #SouthernStrategy said this on audio and describes the what Rev in the video was talking about.

Ever wondered why and how #Abortion became a hot topic in right wing politics?
Take some ⌚ and listen to this.

In 1965 #RogerAiles and #LeeAtwater, began to formulate a plan called #TheSouthernStrategy. They would begin wooing those racist ex-Dems. This led to #RonaldReagan gaining the WH in 1980, even though he had committed treason to do so.
The goal of Republicans has been, ever since the days of Reagan, to allow poor people, LGBTQ, & minorities to die from preventable illnesses. It is the EUGENIC element of Social Darwinism.
