The Linchpin Work Of Duke History Professor Nancy MacLean Who Stumbled On Prima Facie Evidence That The Koch Brothers And Their Ideological Associates Despise Their Inferiors, Seeing Society As "The Riders And The Ridden"

Pax on both houses: Republicans Generally & Trump Specifically Are Eager To  Lie & Cheat If It Expands Their Power

Alan: Republican presidential candidate, Pat Buchanan, the living American who has served longest as a White House senior staff adviser, observed: “The Republican philosophy might be summarized thus: To hell with principle; what matters is power, and that we have it, and that they do not.” “Where the Right Went Wrong"
“Daddy said a Republican was somebody who couldn’t enjoy eating 
unless he knew somebody else was hungry.”

  1. Nancy McLean, in "Democracy in Chains", laid out a massive trove of documents showing how the GOP got to where it is now. It started with Brown v Board, was accelerated with Nixon's Southern Strategy, annd was accelerated anew by Gingrich's Tea Party, and was authenticated by the 2000 and 2010 census returns showing white people will be a minority by 2040. Their goal is to replace the democratic republic with a minority rule over a society consisting of 'the riders and the ridden.'

  2. I remember when you introduced me to Duke History Professor Nancy MacLean's important - even linchpin - work.

    Thanks!

    Here is a talk MacLean gave in Vancouver: "The Rise Of The Radical Right" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCb38QC4ofU (MacLean gets on a roll around the 7 minute mark.)


    And here a talk MacClean gave at Harvard Law School about her landmark book, "Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America" on October 16, 2917 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eowEmcS75JM
