The Southern Strategy was never taught in my history or my politics classes; Amber and her writers are doing more to educate people on the issues plaguing this nation than most.

[@CalamityCannon]

I think I only learned about it from reading Caro's LBJ biographies. Which are long and repetitive, but rife with historical tea/knowledge. Crazy it isn't taught in schools

[@Whatsayoutuber]

It was taught in my AP us history class in 2015! But it’s unfortunate it’s not taught more places and earlier. It’s really crucial to understanding our current world. We often neglect the processes that started in recent history that shaped the world we find ourselves growing up I

[@Larez121]

Did you go to high school in one of those Southern states? The Daughters of the Confederacy did such an effective job changing history books and promoting the Lost Cause theory that there's still students in those states today who think slavery wasn't the cause of the Civil War. So naturally they wouldn't cover Southern Strategy.

[@music_YT2023]

​@@Larez121 It was in Texas; I remember our coverage of the Civil War didn't even discuss WHY the war was happening, just how various battles were staged and mapped.

[@nedludd7622]

It was talked about in classes in the 70's. Since then the Republicans have succeeded in dumbing down the schools. The Dems have just been wimps in not even trying to oppose it.

[@NewMessage]

She's the most qualified prospect that has EVER been up for the job. And if there's one thing the GOP can't stand nowadays, it's a qualified person in an important position.

[@cherylalt101]

You got that right! Great comment!

[@edricaldones9639]

Absolutely correct. The party of utter nutters hates qualified people.

How can you claim to be a “Strict Constructionist” and “Textualist” and then ask Judge KBJ what her Judicial Philosophy is, when Judicial Philosophy is not in the Constitution?

[@dannyh9543]

I think you are missing the point. Theycask about her interpretation of the law which is important when it comes to being I. The life long position of the Supreme Court if a judge has a left leaning bias she is more likely to pass laws in favor only one party which is the democrats which is wrong for any judge to only favor one political side

True, but Barry Goldwater was a political figure and Barack ( Barry) is also a political figure. Barry White was soulfully cool with that full deep voice but not a politician which was Amber's comparison about cool in politics. Kind of a tie on coolness anyway , just different ways.
