LBJ quote “I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” I know this to be true.

Finally, a clear explanation for the extremely large, poor white Republiqan base, who continually empty their pockets making donations to a party that loathes them but is happy to take their money; and for why these same poor, white people ultimately vote against their own interests in favor of big business. So sad to see them being fleeced AND making sure that they can never break free from their financial instability.
LBJ spoke of the “lowest white man,” and I think he was right. But recent analysis of the participants arrested for Jan. 6 showed them far above that. Business owners, doctors, architects, etc. My theory about them is they are the kind of people who feel the need to dominate. Co-existing with equals just doesn’t cut it for them. Be top dog or be nothing. It could be they were raised that way, a prime example being our odious ex-president, who told governors during racial justice protests that they must dominate the streets with great force or look like jerks. He showed how when he cleared Lafayette Square with helicopters flying low, etc., and walked to the church where he awkwardly held up a Bible from Ivanka’s purse.
So right, Limbaugh and a zillion big mouth haters have pressed the message ad nauseam. Now it's republican orthodoxy. Ike made the German cult look squarely in the face of their evil, saying to get pictures and collect evidence because in the future, some would deny it ever happened.
