Conversation between me and the AI Copilot. Followed by my conclusion...
Copilot: The "Southern Strategy" is a well-documented political strategy used by the Republican Party, including Richard Nixon, to gain support from white voters in the South by appealing to racial tensions and grievances. This strategy played a significant role in the political realignment of the South, shifting many white, conservative voters from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.
While some aspects of the Southern Strategy have been debated, the general consensus among historians and political scientists is that it was a deliberate effort to exploit racial divisions for political gain. So, the claim that it was entirely invented by Democrats is not accurate.
Me: I think that "to gain support from white voters in the [united states] by appealing to racial tensions and grievances" is donald trump's strategy and that his strategy worked. Am I completely wrong?
Copilot: You're not completely wrong. Donald Trump's political strategy has often been described as appealing to certain voter bases by addressing their concerns and grievances, including those related to racial tensions. This approach has been effective in garnering support from specific demographics, particularly white voters in certain regions.
Trump's strategy has been compared to the "Southern Strategy" used by Republicans in the past, which aimed to gain support from white voters in the South by appealing to racial tensions. While the contexts and specifics may differ, the underlying principle of leveraging societal divisions for political gain is similar.
Conclusion: The Southern Strategy of today is the maga strategy and the racists of today are filled with maga pride.
