Did Ailes/Atwater "STEAL" our "Decency" (in 1980)??
Faulkner, who wrote a lot about RACE in the United States, often pointed to the "Decency" that prevailed in the early, post-Slavery, SOUTH. We no longer have that, anywhere in the USA, in 2015.
My Grandmother taught me, before I was ten years old, the difference between "DECENT" people (of all Colors), and "TRASH"!!
DECENT people know the difference between the "Price" of things, and their "Value".
"TRASH" cannot distinguish between Price and Value.
DECENT people know that being Poor, is no excuse for being Dirty! ("Soap and water are cheap", she would say, and, "A Clean Mind produces a Clean Life!")
DECENT people know "limits"; the meaning of "ENOUGH"!!
"TRASH" have "no Clue".
No amount of MONEY, in the World, can Cover "TRASH"!!
It is the "Decency" aspect of our Civility that allowed what little "Progress", we have achieved in "Race-Relations", since our Civil War. Right Wing Politics and its dependence on RACE as its mainstay, thanks to Nixon, has progressed from the 1870's and JIM CROW, to the CRUD we now see installed in both Houses of Congress and on our Supreme Court. These two Institutions provide the mechanisms that are used by "TRASH" Politicians, to make our Nation "Ungovernable"!
The 2016 Election, due to the declining demographics of our White Citizenry, may be turning toward
another type of racial "balkanization" of our Nation, led by its White-Trash Element. That Element has spread from the Deep South toward the North and West, turning many States Politically "RED". No white candidate can seem to find a way, to say anything Nice, or even mention Non-White Citizens, in their Campaign Speeches. Non-whites are referred to, in terms of their "Dysfunction"; or not a all. Such is the POWER of White "TRASH" Politics, in 2015!
Stay Vigilant! The Magpies in our MEDIA do us all a disservice by treating this phenomenon as "Entertainment". They seem to believe that we have a DECENCY tucked away in some closet; to be brought out in the General Election, once the Primaries and the "TRASH" are dealt with. TRUMP, and his Followers (and, maybe, many of SANDERS' Followers) could SURPRISE us all!
