This analysis examines the use of "racially divisive appeals" (RDAs) in Republican US presidential debate discourse over the last two completed election cycles. Forty-two GOP Primary and eight Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates were subjected to content analysis to determine the extent to, and rhetorical techniques by which, "backlash voters" are courted through discourses framing minorities as threats to white, native-born economic resources. While the use of political racism by Republican candidates has tended to be associated with the anti-black rhetoric of the Civil-Rights era "Southern Strategy," this analysis finds that, within contemporary RDAs, "immigrants," specifically Hispanics, have supplanted blacks as the major focus of anti-minority rhetoric. Analysis also finds that, distinct from conventional appeals which mobilized nativist resentment by framing immigrants as "job stealers," within modern RDAs they have joined blacks in the more stigmatized role of "welfare abuser" instead. Reasons for these shifts, and their potential impacts on American welfare policies and race relations, are explored

This paper examines the US-based 'Southern Strategy,' an electoral scheme which created conditions that resurrected a broadly conservative agenda in the USA during the 1970s. While scholars have long studied the Southern Strategy from the standpoint of the electoral and political geography of the USA, its role in transforming the political economy of the USA is underappreciated. By reworking the nature of racism from the overt white supremacy of previous eras the Southern Strategy speaks to the changing socio-spatial manifestations of racism in the USA and the workings of the US political economy. By connecting the Southern Strategy with a broad economic argument this paper crystallizes the role race plays in the development of the US political economy as well as implications for understanding the way race and capitalism in the USA are co-constituted with one another. Through an examination of the Southern Strategy we can trace both the changing coordinates of the US political economy and race as the USA made the transition from Keynesianism to neoliberalism

The long term plan by racist republicans was set in motion decades ago. In the 70/80's I was a child and teenager but by the mid 80's i started to see America for what it really was not the American dream bs. I was brought up reading Baldwin and Fanon and learning about Kwame True. My HS teachers hated me for the "Awake then Woke ethos". I saw where the republicans were headed and the tea party was all the confirmation I needed. Clinton and then Obama presidencies did not fool me. The tea part was the set up for MAGA. Now , how the DNC didn't know this or prepare for the changing political atmosphere of the US is out right blasphemy. Hence my point about the last election who the hell thought a poc and female was going to beat trump? Did they think white women were not going to vote for their race vs their gender. That's why trump won but republicans are still upset/talking ish. They want it all
