4. k&r and...
This is the kind of conservative we can change. My dad was this way. When he was young he was a civil rights activist. ...but life never got much better for him. My family was poor and so he bought the whole "blame the minorities" crap and became the precinct delegate for George Wallace in our district and then later in life, reconsidered, reduced some of his bitterness, got his brain back and stopped buying the lie of the ruling class...that white folks are poor because of..black folks or Cadillac Queens, etc...and the years before he died, he voted for Clinton twice and for Ann Richards.
The ruling class loves divide and conquer and it works so well on poor whites. ...but unless they are just TOO angry, they can usually be shown the falseness of that tactic.
