== The racist origins of the Bush/globalist establishment Republicans in the South ==

As we know, the establishment wing of the GOP lost in Texas in the vote on the [[Paxton Impeachment]]. Many of them probably were allies of [[Joe Straus]], a former Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives and spokesperson for [[Moderate Republican]]s. And a fun fact: Straus's political beginnings began as a [https://blog.chron.com/texaspolitics/2009/02/speaker-meets-with-daughter-of-old-boss-sen-john-tower/ chauffeur] to [[John Tower]], a beneficiary of the so-called "[[Southern strategy]]" that elected Eisenhower-aligned, anti–civil rights Republicans to federal office, the first time some positions were held by Republicans since [[Reconstruction]]. While Tower was relatively moderate in his civil rights opposition and did vote against the Gore Amendment to the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]] (which his liberal Democratic colleague [[Ralph Yarborough]] supported), most of his general civil rights record was negative enough to gain the Texas suburban white support.

Another key case is [https://redstate.com/bonchie/2020/06/17/the-dragging-of-rick-wilson-continues-and-now-his-wife-is-hilariously-involved-n243750 Rick Wilson], one of the crybaby losers on the [[Lincoln Project]]. LP accused Youngkin in 2021 of employing a "Southern strategy," yet Wilson years ago [https://thepoliticalinsider.com/live-by-the-sword-die-by-it-the-delicious-downfall-of-rick-wilson/ posted a picture of a neo-Confederate "The South Will Rise Again" flag].

The historical roots are worth researching and reading up on: the early anti–civil rights white Republicans in the South in fact were not the old-school conservatives, but aligned with [[Dwight Eisenhower]], who in fact was ''not'' heavily concerned with civil rights but sought [[Dixiecrat]] support in swing states like Texas. The [[Old Right]] conservative faction of the Republican Party was supported by the biracial "black-and-tan" faction led by [[Perry W. Howard, II]], most notably in the [[United States presidential election, 1952|1952 presidential election]] when the GOP delegations from the Southern and border states supported the pro–civil rights contender [[Robert A. Taft]]—[[Mississippi]]'s, led by Howard, and [[Arkansas]]', led by [[Osro Cobb]], were the main examples. And then during the Eisenhower presidency, the black-and-tans were tossed aside to appeal to the "progressive" lily-whites, exemplified most in the likes of moderate Republican and segregationist [[Joel T. Broyhill]].

Now, some may wonder: aren't the modern-day populist faction of the Southern Republicans rooted in even more racism than the establishment types were? Yes and no—probably a minority element of the ultraconservative side were early participants in racist propaganda appeals, though the shift of the rural areas occurred decades later, and didn't solidify until the 2000s. Even in [[United States presidential election, 1980|1980]], Reagan lost the Deep South vote to [[Jimmy Carter]]! —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Sunday, 01:53, September 17, 2023 (EDT)
