āThe question is not just whether it will work, but whether Republicansāincluding the former president himselfāwill have the discipline to keep the racial subtext of their new strategy from becoming the text.ā
Jumping all the way back to 1954 in Lee Atwaterās infamous timeline of the Southern Strategy and hoping the 2024 electorate will go with them is a bold strategy. Weāll see how it plays out for them.
I donāt follow the right wing grifter blog sphere at all, but Iāve already seen at least a half dozen Ben Shapiro types already call her a DEI hire. They will not be able to help themselves, because racism is one of the core pillars of the modern Republican mindset.
Thereās a certain sweet irony in the ātoken DEI hireā being the overwhelming and enthusiastic consensus pick to take over the campaign. Not that I expect Republican commentators to make the connection, but at least I can enjoy it.
Narrator:Ā āThey wonāt.ā
