Joe Biden: The New George Wallace

“He’s all for identity politics, the son of segregation, forever.”

“…What is really at play here with President Biden, as with George Wallace, is identity politics. The original identity politics was slavery. After the abolition of slavery came the next installment of identity politics — segregation. The identity politics of today is the new segregation — identity politics being the son of segregation and the grandson of slavery. It’s all about race, and its practitioners can easily be called racial supremacists.

As I long ago detailed in this space, racism has been the political fuel for the Democratic Party since its inception.

The party was founded by slave owners. It wrote one platform after another supporting slavery. At its first convention after the Civil War, in 1868, with slavery abolished and segregation the new party doctrine, the party’s slogan was

This is a White Man’s Country, Let White Men Rule. 

The point, of course, was to use race to win elections.

Nothing has changed with the Democratic Party. Today’s identity politics is nothing less than the politics of racial supremacy. Race trumps all.

Which, to bring us back to President Biden, is exactly what Biden, like Wallace before him, is all about: using racial supremacy to gin up his base and divide people for political purposes. And, as Tucker Carlson has noted, Biden intends to use the resources of the federal government to enforce this racist agenda.

Over there at the Washington Post, Philip Bump unwittingly illustrated the Democrats’ racial supremacy routine at work. The headline:

Biden’s targeting of racist extremism is being portrayed as an attack on the right itself

In fact, what Biden was doing is exactly what Democrats have been doing for the two-plus centuries of their party’s existence.

Biden was playing the race card.

Simply put, when it comes to Democrats playing the race card, whether it’s Joe Biden or George Wallace, some things never change…”
