First non-controversial Republican with this platform will transform country
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 24th, 2016 3:32 PM Author: Stirring bat-shit-crazy pistol senate Anyone with a brain knows that if Republicans want to be relevant nationally going forward, they need to appeal to minorities. The question is, how do they do this without alienating white people (meaning amnesty, cough cough Rubio, ain't the answer). As a minority dude who would love to vote for Trump but for believing he's a manic, below is what I think a Republican could get black people to buy into.
1) The candidate needs to be non-controversial. Someone like Mitt Romney but not a Mormon.
2) Stop the local government flame. Local government has never been good for minorities and the federal government has always been the white knight. Emphasize EFFICIENT government, not small/local government.
3) Talk about enforcing immigration laws and the border, without tying it to Mexicans/Muslims. Like it our not, you/Trump/Sheriff Joe sounds like a racist. This means border security and deporting people when they are picked up, not SS style round up squads.
4) Stop making issues of non issues at the state level (tranny laws). You look better defending the status qua than being the asshole pushing perceived discriminatory legislation.
5) Push for lower and middle class tax cuts. Fuck rich people. Like literally, fuck them over with the tax code. |

Date: June 25th, 2016 12:24 AM Author: Pearly vigorous twinkling uncleanness Was literally thinking this the other day - that it's not trump's crudeness or un-pc-ness that's appealing to people - it's his policies of secure borders, common sense nationalism, and pro-native trade policies.
So I completely agree if you took a candidate with a lot of charisma, no controversial background, no "racist" comments ever etc., good political skills etc. and sold the ideas in your OP it would be a landslide election. |

1.) is basically impossible for the republicans. any candidate they trot out will be made controversial by a highly partisan media/academia apparatus completely in the tank for the dems.
2.) dems would easily parry this—"we know big government better than the gopfags because we haven't been trying to demolish it for decades. trust us to make it more efficient". plus, the media/academia complex would just frame efficient government as racist/sexist dog-whistling and say the gop can't be trusted.
3.) so basically have a non-confrontational, anodyne stance on one of the most pressing issues of are time that ensures absolutely nothing is done and the shitty status quo marches on. hehe.
4.) they look like assholes because their actions are so framed by a hostile culture industry.
5.) this is actually credited, but the second to last thing gopfaggot politicians will ever cave on (first being wars for are greatest ally). they love their jerb creators too much. |

As it relates #1, that's why the need someone unassailable. McCain would have worked if he wasn't running against Obama and didn't pick Palin.
As it relates to 3, making the issue immigration instead of actual people should not be "non-controversial." If you want it the other way around, you're an actual racist. |

"Making the issue immigration instead of actual people" means you're a crypto-racist dogwhistler who is only anti-immigration because most of them are nonwhites.

Stop talking about why immigration is bad and start talking about why enforcing immigration laws is good for the people already here. |
|
Date: June 24th, 2016 4:31 PM Author: Milky Trip Bawdyhouse Liquid Oxygen OK, enforcing immigration laws is good because blacks are being chased at gunpoint out of their historic neighborhoods throughout southern California. And North Carolina. And Georgia. And Texas. This is being allowed to happen on purpose by white liberals who do not respect you.
Enforcing immigration laws is also good because US citizens are dying due to a heroin epidemic that is sweeping over the entire country. Every single law enforcement officer can tell you exactly where this garbage is coming from. |
|
Date: June 24th, 2016 4:33 PM Author: Stirring bat-shit-crazy pistol senate Try this...
Enforcing immigration laws is good because it'll slow the flood of immigrants into inner cities, which leaves more money and resources for the current residents of those neighborhoods. Less crowded schools, better public transportation, more housing.
See how I didn't mention race at all? |
|
Date: June 24th, 2016 4:35 PM Author: Milky Trip Bawdyhouse Liquid Oxygen But the illegals pulling this crap are targeting black neighborhoods. They are abusing programs that black voters fought to have implemented. Illegal immigrants and their children are involved in numerous hate crimes against blacks.
This is happening in the rural and suburban south, too, not just inner cities. |

Nobody who actually LIVES in inner cities will believe this because you are making it sound like the immigrants are the REASON inner cities are shitty in the first place.
You are opening yourself to a whole new host of arguments because you don't know WHY the inner city is FUCKED UP in the first place. |

|
Date: June 24th, 2016 5:11 PM Author: Stirring bat-shit-crazy pistol senate government expenditures to the inner city have risen. Take Baltimore for example. The issue is efficiency of the use of that money. You'll get more efficient use if you have less people.
"Part of the problem, unsurprisingly, is that the city does not make very good use of the money it receives."

Date: June 24th, 2016 4:17 PM Author: dashing dilemma are you suggesting that the media/academia are not huge assets for the dems due to their strong ideological biases (see haidt's work on the subject)? to ignore this fact would be absurd from a dispassionate, strategy-oriented viewpoint. it's simply something the gopd00ds have to deal with.
also i disagree that mccain was unassailable or that obama was a particularly strong candidate. there was plenty of dirt on mccain and the chattering classes portrayed him as a senile warmonger that would bring in 4 more years of bu$$$hitler. dubya's shitty legacy meant that an empty suit could have won on the democratic ticket—and one did!
and as far as immigration goes, at some point a sane migration policy is going to have to confront the issue that certain sets of people (be they socio-economic classes or cultural groups) have little place in the united states. if this is racist, then so be it. |
|
Date: June 24th, 2016 4:20 PM Author: Stirring bat-shit-crazy pistol senate As long as that's your position on immigration, you'll never win over minorities. As most minorities don't fit the statistics that support your position and thus they'll feel unjustly singled out. Yeah, latinos might be more inclined to be on welfare etc etc, but I bet more AREN'T, than are. So the question is, how do you appeal to those who arent?

In June 2007, Huntsman joined other Western governors in urging the Senate to pass comprehensive immigration reform.[105] In 2005, Huntsman signed a bill giving undocumented migrants access to "driving-privilege cards", which allowed them to have driving privileges but unlike driver licenses, cannot be used for identification purposes.[106] As governor, Huntsman threatened to veto a measure repealing in-state college tuition for illegal immigrants.[107]
Huntsman has stated support for a border fence, saying that, "as an American, the thought of a fence to some extent repulses me ... but the situation is such that I don't think we have a choice."[108] In the September 9 CNN GOP debate, Huntsman suggested that the country needed more legal immigration, claiming that it will revive America's housing market, citing Vancouver's quickly growing real estate market as evidence.[109] Huntsman also supports granting more H-1B visas to foreigners.[110]
Huntsman supported the DREAM Act which proposed a path to citizenship for young people brought to the United States by their parents illegally.[111] |

Also, ur just dead wrong, starting with ur first point. trump is extremely controversial, but is neck and neck with Clinton. You really think a dude like Romney would fare better? |

Trump is going to get rolled by Hillary in the electoral college. If you don't believe that, there's no hope for you. |

Date: June 24th, 2016 4:52 PM Author: Cordovan costumed police squad These could all probably be done. I personally disagree with you extensively on #2 -- letting people have a certain degree of self-determination and locally tailored policy is what makes a country as large and diverse as the U.S. work -- but even it could be pushed into a nationalist platform over my personal objections. It strikes me as one of those issues/concepts that GOP cucks have always thought their base really wanted, but really they're not that into it. (We've been finding a lot of those over the past year!)
Would love to see #5 happen, but, prior to TRUMP, this was literally the hallmark issue of the GOP, and it'd take purging all the cuckies embedded at all levels of government to make it happen.
The racism stuff is obviously a big issue. But nationalism has appeal to racists (the fit is greater in Europe than here, since we have a genuine multi-racial society here, but still), who amplify that tinge when they promote the movement, and a lot of politicians don't want to condemn it too hard when it's in dog-whistle form b/c, frankly, we'd like the votes. Media also amplifies this aspect, not so much out of bias/hatred for nationalism (our media is *really* incompetent, way too much so for that) as out of its natural tendency to amplify controversial aspects of shit. |
|
Date: June 24th, 2016 4:57 PM Author: Stirring bat-shit-crazy pistol senate These are good points and I agree with the reason regarding why the racism exists in the politics but believe someone needs to and can transcend the dog whistle.
As it relates to #2, I think this countries history prevents local government from ever being appealing to minorities. Hell, even recently, the Texas education board tried to refer to slavery as an "african migration." And when I was growing up, we had books which referred to the "War of Northern Aggression." That's what you get with local control. |

Date: June 24th, 2016 5:37 PM Author: Cordovan costumed police squad This has been standard operating procedure for the GOP at least since the ideological party realignment was finalized in the 1960s. I despise, e.g., Paul Ryan, but I honestly doubt the dude has a racist bone in his body. I'm sure that if there were racial strife in his district, though, he would make damn sure not to alienate white racist voters (aside from the tiny number of extreme losers who join the KKK or call in to radio stations to use the n-word or whatever).
There's no reason a nationalist party has to be that way, and it should in theory be easier to avoid here than in europe since blacks are actual Americans (even virulent racists don't deny that) and they're actually quite influential in the culture (music, film, sports... POTUS). But given that the two molds we'd be working from are (1) the husk of the old GOP infrastructure and (2) the pattern of already-developed european movements, we'll probably just fall into what's easiest and periodically wink to white racists rather than try to win a multi-year courtship with blacks. |

Date: June 24th, 2016 11:00 PM Author: Brindle Self-absorbed Business Firm Jap To be successful, the GOP needs a singular, resonant message. Trump is trying nationalism. It's a bold move; let's see how this plays out.
I think individualism is a strong one. It can be traced through most of Republican history and it allows ample opportunity to paint the Democrats as racist for lumping all people of color together and taking them for granted. It also provides opportunity to call out SJWs for trampling on individuals' rights of free speech. They can champion criminal justice reform, tax reform, Second Amendment rights, repeal of affirmative action policies, welfare reform, etc. all by appealing to the dignity of the individual.
"Democrats call me racist for being against amnesty. But I don't think we should be lumping all immigrants together. Some immigrants came here through hard work and played by the rules. Some immigrants came here because they were duped by coyotes and trafficked here. And unfortunately some came here by violating the security of the nation where they sought shelter. Those few who broke the law need to be punished, and those who didn't need to be offered the chance to integrate into the greatest country on earth. Democrats want blanket rules for all immigrants or all Latin Americans. Democrats want to attack the individual dignity of our hardworking immigrants. I can't think of anything more racist than that." |
