Why Do Uneducated Poor White Americans Consistently Vote Republican?

Well, they may be uneducated.


And they may be poor.

BUT they want & need LAW AND ORDER, which they know the Dems don't believe in, as shown last summer when the mobs went wild with impunity and are still doing every day in every major American city.

They wanted JOBS and Trump failed to deliver...instead he took away their healthcare, raised their taxes and then went golfing after he convinced them that a deadly pandemic was a hoax.
 
I dislike use of the term "southern strategy" but I do think they made a concerted effort to appeal to whites.

This is not a matter of opinion. This was readily admitted by numerous GOP Party strategists since the time of Nixon. And they were not shy about using the term “Southern strategy” to describe what they were doing either.

“(Nixon) emphasized that you have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognized this while not appearing to"
- Nixon White House Chief of Staff HR Halderman

Ronald Reagan’s chief political adviser, Lee Atwater, in an interview in 1981:
“Atwater: As to the whole Southern strategy that Harry Dent and others put together in 1968, opposition to the Voting Rights Act would have been a central part of keeping the South. Now [Reagan] doesn't have to do that. All you have to do to keep the South is for Reagan to run in place on the issues he's campaigned on since 1964 [...] and that's fiscal conservatism, balancing the budget, cut taxes, you know, the whole cluster...

Questioner: But the fact is, isn't it, that Reagan does get to the Wallacevoter and to the racist side of the Wallace voter by doing away with legal services, by cutting down on food stamps?

Atwater: Y'all don't quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger."
 

Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you...
Absolutely historical horrible president administration and his followers are still clueless and uninformed.
 
It's obviously a function of racism. White people all hate anyone from any other race but educated whites are smart enough to feel guilty about it.:doh
Soros pays groups that push the false racist meme. The goal is to divide and destroy the country.

Well let's never allow that to happen our past is what it is but overall this is the greatest nation ever.
 
It must be because the left says says that REPUBLICANS care only about Big bushiness and not the little guy?
I think it's the Republicans themselves who say that. But they lie about helping the little guy. For example the ACA helps what group of people the most?

No, the left says all the time that Republicans are for Big corporations and Big Business and you know it

So, I don't understand why the poor uneducated white voter would vote Republican do you?

In my opinion they will rather have a white dictator then a person of color whom is willing to help them it might be some sort of pride thing I guess? We shall soon see if the GOP will ever vote in as president a non white man?
 
Tell me that is not the actual quote!:shock:
It's not an actual quote. It does sound like something Donald would say, but it's been debunked as fake.
 
They (R’s) are the opposite of this.

I agree hell don't like it but my question was whom does it help? It helps the "little people" but the GOP wanted to repeal and replace it how did that go? The GOP can care less about poor people bottom line.

lesser of the 2 evils.

So what you could be saying is" Long live evil"?
but I am bored with this conversation

Scapegoat?
 
I would say that in a society climate were you are constaintly (long before internet and social media existed) are bombarded with propaganda by a media system that doesn't have to announce when it is sending/writing journalistic work/facts contra when it is biased views (Yes swedish media has to make a difference on the both visible for the reader) . Were you have a film making machine (Hollywood) doing the same (putting in political propaganda) in their productions and were a socialist is equal to a terrorist. Were unions are week and slandered. Where different parts off the working force are put against eachother (black workers contra white workers, officeworkers contra industryworkers, immigrant workers contra US workers, countryside contra city a s o) The workers look at the only values left to them and that is family, church a s o. The republicans with the help of media (and Hollywood) presses the message that that is what they stand for day after day while also of course pressing any message that can uphold the division between fractions.

On the same time suppressing the message that it is the rich ones that hire the poor immigrants to work for less than nothing at slavelike conditions keeping the salaries down and making it impossible for a US worker to take the job, making sure that workers do not unit for better conditions, that the truth for "the american dream" is that your system doesn't give you that opportunity (You need money to either get the education you need or to be availible to start the business that will render you your dream, in the first place) Where healthcare for everyone is equated with less freedom since no other argument is availible (private insurance is more expensive for a worker since the cost for lesser health is put into the fees: poor man pays more than rich man...)a s o. Where the fact that everything is build around that the white /black/ immigrant worker should pay for making the richer even more rich is called "freedom".

What are their choices? You do not have to be stupid, you can actually be mensa material, to not be able to defend yourself against that sort of massive propaganda. Remember; generation after generation has been exposed to this.

The " democratic system " is set up by and for the ruling elites. People on both sides are corraled into voting for people who will not further their cause. It's a plutocracy being sold to the people ,and bought, as a democracy. That's why people are voting against their own interests, be they poor blacks or poor whites, Latinos, Asian origin, etc etc

That's why poor whites will vote for rich religious whites on the GOP side and poor blacks will vote for phoney rich Democrats.
 
Why do up to 90% of black Americans still vote democrat when after almost 100 years of blind support they remain the single most ****ed racial demographic in the country...and its getting worse?
They vote Democrat for several reasons: 1) of the two capitalist-dominated parties, the DP, at least gives lip-service to our concerns 2) the RP virtually overlooks our concerns 3) most black pettibourgeois political leaders, with influence over the masses of African Americans, encourage it 4) no perceivable viable political alternative
