You could look at the actual evidence produced by the two academics Lyle. You'd see words and no evidence on one side and endless actual evidence on the other side. You could have read the links I posted But then reading, facts and evidence isn't something you're ever going to do is it. Reading and knowing things is for idiots, isn't it Lyle.
Here's the facts about this Vanderbilt professor Lyle:
The Prager U video features Carol Swain, a now-retired Vanderbilt University professor. Right Wing Watch has written about her path from being a respected, if controversial, scholar to becoming a Religious Right culture-war propagandist hanging out with the likes of David Barton and Dinesh D’Souza. She has also promoted the work of far-right crank author Cleon Skousen, a favorite of Glenn Beck’s.
Historian Kruse responded to the Prager U video in 2018, challenging its “deeply ahistorical” arguments and false “facts.” Among the gems Kruse uncovered was a piece from one of Swain’s earlier, more serious, books— “The New White Nationalism in America”—in which Swain described “the Republican Party’s adoption of a ‘southern strategy’ that eventually enabled it to transform itself into a majority party after decades of minority status.”
Oddly enough, Swain doesn’t quote her own work in that Prager U video, which has more than 6 million views.
The same year Swain did the Prager U video, the right-wing Weekly Standard noticed that she had seemingly lost interest in being a serious scholar. She now writes Sean Hannity-endorsed screeds and appears at right-wing events, denouncing separation of church and state, trashing Black Lives Matter, calling liberal churches “agents of Marxism” and warning that liberals are out to steal children’s hearts and minds. Swain is what the Weekly Standard called “a thorny nationalist” on immigration, and she has urged Congress to “flex its muscles” and close what she calls a “loophole” of birthright citizenship guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.
So this professor you're citing after a frantic google has actually confirmed that the GOP used a southern strategy to win white racist votes. Great job Lyle, you've made my argument for me.
If you want to bet and lose even more money (I'm not going to even bother asking whether you've paid the poor black folks the money you owe them) we could bet on whatever this latest conspiracy rubbish is. But you won't do that either will you. Is the stuff about the Page warrant still on your little shelf? All the bullshit you were fed about that and you were convinced it was going to mean arrests and whatever. Whatever this latest thing is is just more of the same. We can bet if you like.
