This sure sounds like their next step will be insisting on segregation.
We all know what "Make America Great Again" means.
Same thing as when Reagan used it for his campaign.
I mean, they couldn't go with George Wallace's "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!" quite yet...
Holy crap, I was just reading his Wikipedia page. He is such a piece of shit. His wife died of cancer in May 1968. Her doctor had told him, not her, of the diagnosis in 1961 and he kept it secret from her. I knew about the segregation stuff, but that is just the shit frosting on the shit cake.
What made it even worse was that she was technically the governor when she died. Alabama had a law back then that prohibited governors from serving consecutive terms. However, there was no rule against a woman running for governor. So George got his wife Lurleen, who had cancer at the time, to run for governor in his place. She won, but everyone knew who the governor really was.
When you hear them use dogwhistles remember that Wallace actually joked afterward that he should have said "states rights now, states rights tomorrow, states rights forever". These monsters know exactly what they're doing.
This is why I enjoy playing dumb to the dogwhistles and asking the awkward questions out loud. "States rights? State's rights to do what exactly?"
Next step? They're already doing it. You don't need to be overtly racist to segregate communities fyi, income brackets and gerrymandering do a wonderful job at promoting racial segregation without the need to be outwardly bigoted
