Here's the story...

"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."

--Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ)

Context of the Quote

• The Subject: The quote is frequently cited to explain the mechanics of racial prejudice in Southern politics, where poor white voters were encouraged to focus on their perceived racial superiority rather than their economic standing, often leading them to vote against their own economic interests.

• The Source: It was reportedly told to Bill Moyers, a young staffer at the time, during a late-night conversation after a political trip in the South where LBJ observed extreme racism.

• Significance: It is often used to describe the "politics of resentment" and how elite interests can use racial division as a distraction to manage the working class.

The only found election cheating is by Republicans when they gave prefilled voting forms to people to mail in. There's little to no record of illegals voting. Your news sources are lying to you

So we didn't just have a Sheriff take control of half a million votes because they counted 50K more than there are voters ?
Right, you didn't see that.

Heres you some easy ones straight from wiki that you all seem to love

In the 2023–24 Bridgeport, Connecticut mayoral election, a judge ordered the Democratic primary to be re-run after ruling that there was enough evidence of ballot stuffing to throw the results into doubt. According to The New York Times, illegal ballot manipulation is not uncommon in Bridgeport elections, and has included apartment residents being pressured to apply for absentee ballots they were not entitled to.^[110] Incumbent mayor Joseph Ganim, who had won the initial primary, also won the do-over primary and the general election.^[111]

• In November 2025, the mayor of Coldwater, Kansas Jose Ceballos was charged with voting illegally as a non-citizen. Ceballos stated he had voted in elections since 1991 and thought he was allowed to vote as a permanent resident.^[112]

You're delusional. The only ones that love Trump are idiots with an IQ so low it can't be measured.

If you love this total, egotistical arrogant and incompetent moron so much then get your butt back to the US and maybe you can attend one of his nitwit speeches, wear a MAGA hat and shout USA, USA. Anyone that supports this clown likely has major mental problems like him so seek help because you definitely need. it.

This post says more about your intelligence and your acceptance of those that have different views than yourself. Do tadpoles get angry? That is the image that comes to mind when thinking of the type of person that would make this type of post.

Hopefully Thailand responds in kind. The fewer loud mouth Americans in Thailand spreading their tipping cancer culture the better.

Too cheap or broke to tip, huh. Sorry.

What a COS. The sheriff in your first example is running for governor of California and there is no fraud proven.

Your second example is a ballot recount that showed no fraud and the same person that won before the recount won after. Again no fraud proven.

Better luck next time. Do try and differentiate between allegedly and fact next time.

That's why it's best not to comment on something you only know a little about.

Taking a few days or a week's vacation and stopping by a few sites and eating western food, doesn't give you any idea how actually living there is. This is done by quite a few who just visit and then think they know all about the country. It takes a lot more than a few videos and newscasts to know what goes on there, especially seeing most are biased.

You can live there 50 years and see only a fraction of it, depending on how much time you can take off work to travel. Many who visit go to the large cities, which are much the same worldwide. Traffic, pollution, crowds, noise, crazy drivers etc.

America has everything any country has worldwide in one place. Mountains, beaches, lakes and rivers, all worldwide food in excellent quality, sports, music, and 4 seasons , depending where you go. Over a million move there every year. I lived there 62 years, and still haven't seen all the states, but what i did see was all of the above.

Many Americans don't like him, and many do, and intelligence doesn't come into it when you really only have two to pick from as candidates, and one is weak. We will be moving back to the US, but it has nothing to do with the president.

Nothing wrong with wanting America great, as everyone should feel that way about their own countries. When you have a leader, you should support him, as he's all you have, and most leaders worldwide make mistakes and are sometimes shady. What else can you do but stand behind your leader? Complaining what he does isn't going to change things unless it's millions and they protest.

Everyone who hates Trump, and I don't like him anyway, should look at what their own leaders are doing and their countries pasts to see all the mistakes made. Half of my family likes him and the other half doesn't, and every person I know who voted for him are very intelligent people.

There are two types of immigrants: the ones who assimilate to the local culture, customs and traditions and the ones who can't/don't. If you don't strictly control the inflow of the latter population (Asian countries mostly do control) then the country you were born becomes slowly but surely another country with another culture (usually the strongest one with the most rigorous brainwashing rules). Some people are happy with that outcome, others don't. Demography makes history.

Well said!

The U.S. Embassy in Bangkok announced on March 27, 2026, that the U.S. Department of State has paused immigrant visa issuances to nationals from 75 countries, including Thailand. This suspension, effective January 21, 2026, aims to prevent immigrants from draining U.S. welfare resources.

So they tell you in March, effective January. Hahaha

Aseannow had a topic on this back in January. I don't know why this one has been reintroduced. The topic was already discussed extensively. https://aseannow.com/topic/1384674-us-suspends-immigrant-visa-processing-for-thailand/ Now we've just got many of the same people posting the same things they originally posted back then. It's like they all have dementia.

After you kicked out all the Mexicans and other ethnicities, you are sure that there will still be ethnic food?

And where does it stop? Are Eastern Europeans still white enough? Italians?

Fascism has a way of perpetuating itself to worse and worse extremes (because that is what it thrives on), until the revolution eats its own children. History might not repeat, but it rhymes.

I didn't kick out the Mexicans, as I have many Mexican friends, as well as many other nationalities. America doesn't kick out those who belong there, and seeing America is all nations in one place, all legal citizens and immigrants belong there. There are fascist thinkers all over, America also having some.
