Long ago a Latino candidate ran against Phil Gramm. He was an utter embarrassment in the debates because he didn't have a position or enough information to comment on certain issues. But the Latino vote turned out because they are tribal. We all know this. Voting color is a way of life for the Left unless you are an elitist white feminist who uses them like the pawns they are (and believe me, they wouldn't have them in their neighborhood at all except as maids and yard men) in exchange for scraps taken from other white people who have been demonized (white privilege campaign).

Thank the dark lord that white people aren’t tribal. There’s a town in southern Oklahoma named “whiteright”. Could be northern Texas.

Or it could have been named Whitewright after Mr. William Whitewright Jr., a New York investor, in 1878.

Who hacked into Barry's account to make him look more ridiculous than usual? I blame Da Russians!

I have a friend from Whitewright, Texas. He used to say, "I'm from Whitewright. And if it ain't white, it ain't right." The ironic thing - he was black.

The impact of Trumpism on local government is a major problem especially in rural areas. I have friends in Mineral Wells, Texas, where Trumpy dumbasses are basically trying to destroy growth in the area and know nothing of local issues. They run on dumb cultural crap and don't know that their main job is stuff like repairing potholes.

Maybe there are just dumbasses that have nothing to do with Trump. Dumbasses grow like weeds in small towns.

Sounds like something said in jest. It’s 8% Black. It’s a small town. They have to learn to live together or it doesn’t work.

If whites were tribal then you'd see an absolute landslide of victory on whichever side they choose. It's not even close to what you are implying. It's stunning to me that you said that. I actually figured you would. Do 90% or more of white people vote for one party? HELL NO. SMH.

That's some counter-intuitivity to me... I thought right-wingers loved growth. I hear the local councils use ANY OBJECTION from environmentalists as an opportunity to bash them as "anti-growth."

They're not "right wingers." They're idiots trying to get elected without actually learning what local government is or does.

Again, I don't blame Trump. What they're trying to do is make Trump-style appeals to try to get elected to offices they know nothing about.

I realize that, probably agree with it. But it seems to work for leftists, who run for mayor and CC in big cities on a bunch of cultural issues, and win with it. The town turns into a dump (look at Austin), but it doesn't impact their re-election, and doesn't hurt the party on a national basis.

Fact is, the Democrat party is far more successful than the Republican party is. Maybe it's time to see what's worked out for them, and copy some of those behaviors, even when at first pass, they don't seem to be relevant or useful.

I agree that overall the Democratic Party is more successful than the GOP is. However, a few points on that. First, their local candidates don't run on cultural issues everywhere. They do it in areas in which there's no Republican threat. They do it in San Francisco and Portland, not in Iowa or Indiana.

Second, their ability to run on cultural issues in Democratic areas isn't a cause of their success. It's a product of it. The cause of their success is the built-in advantages they've constructed over the last century by taking over almost every institution that influences public opinion and culture. For the last several decades, we've encouraged our kids to go out and make money. They've encouraged their kids to "change the world." So our kids became bankers, engineers, accountants, physicians, etc. Nothing wrong with those professions, but they aren't very culturally influential. Their kids became college professors, teachers, and journalists, and the nuttier ones became entertainers. Those professions are culturally influential, and they've given Democrats and people generally of the Left a major advantage, and the more influential those professions are, the bigger the advantage.

Finally, just becaue some Democrats in big cities have been electorally successful in running on cultural issues even when they're not relevant to the office sought that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do, and it doesn't mean it'll be successful for us. It's utlimately dishonest to the voters.

another racist excuse; and from you, who is usually so reasonable. Moving dirt is not hard. And if they moved it to San Francisco the racists would probably dump it on some homeless people or divert it to Oakland.:bounce1:
 
There won't be a boycott. Amazon itself has become indispensable to everyone. Netflix may get the most pushback. But now that corporations are socialist, I don't know what can be done. Maybe the government can write laws against it, but I don't think that will happen or work very well.

If there were viable alternatives, then switching service would work. But what would keep the new companies from going woke too? These are dark days.

Until the Right learns to boycott, you're going to see this kind of thing happen. There's no downside for them. They get a ton of free, positive attention from the media and Democrats. Republican politicians might get a little upset, but their voters largely don't care - certainly not enough to cancel their Netflix and Amazon subscriptions.

This is true. These companies, and probably their biggest competitors, all have the same MO: wokeness. I can't just go live in a log cabin in the woods.

The right never boycotts things? NFL??? Nike?

Here's a few lists that are dated:

All the Things You Can No Longer Buy if You’re a True MAGA Trump Fan
A brief history of batshit conservative boycotts

I didn't say they never boycott. I said "unless they learn to boycott." There have been a few people here and there who have stopped patronizing certain businesses. To be effective, they'd need to do something much broader and much more sustained. If 500 Trump supporters cancel their Amazon accounts, nobody will care.
 
I quit Amazon a few years ago when I read about their restraint of trade practices. No problem.
They are indispensable to lazy people with no ethical concerns. Like people who shop at Walmart
