Chapter 161: The Bipartisan Past and the Senator's Prostate
And Celerie seems to have a little problem here, at least she doesn't worship Edward as much as she used to, and she doesn't go to him after class.
Even if he was moving near the left, his eyes were not as sparkling as before, but with a resentment that wanted to speak and stopped.
Edward didn't care about it at first, but later when he was in the library, he saw a guy with long unkempt blond hair and a beard who was close to her.
This makes someone feel a little weak in his heart inexplicably, feeling that a wild boar has burst into his vegetable patch, which has not caused any harm for the time being, but it will definitely not work in the long run.
The relationship between men and women in the United States is open, and it is not particularly important to pay special attention to what is green or not, and it is normal for men and women to step on a few boats casually.
For someone, it is better for me to be green than for the world to be green, this is his point of view, and he is resolutely consistent with his words and deeds.
After some inquiry, I learned that this guy who looked like a Viking was not an ordinary person, he was already a visiting scholar in Rhodes at Oxford University at a young age, and after getting a master's degree in Oxford, he was admitted to Yale Law School.
"Corinthun" Edward remembered this, and it looked a little familiar and a little Northeast flavored name.
People, especially men, are like this, obviously the meat sent to the mouth can not be eaten, but when the meat is moved a few inches to the other mouths, obviously nothing changes, the color and flavor increase a lot inexplicably, and their own salivary glands seem to increase secretion.
But at the moment, he is too busy to squeeze out too much time to attack his junior sister, on the other hand, after all, at Yale, he doesn't have the courage to do these things under Rushberg's nose, although with Rushberg's temperament, most of them are open and blind to this, but after all, he hasn't eaten yet, so he can't make extraneous branches, right?
At this time, you must not break the bud rice!
But he didn't have a good way, so he had to take the time to get closer to this senior sister from time to time, so that she could feel the steady warmth of his senior brother.
On the other hand, he began to think of ways to strain the sharpness of this man surnamed Ke.
Edward's idea is also very simple, at the moment, he doesn't have time to make trouble face-to-face with this guy, and his cabbage doesn't have time to cultivate soil, so it's not good to trouble others, even if it's an absolutely trustworthy buddy like the big black guy......
After thinking about it, since you can't start from yourself, then go and disgust others, find something to do for this guy surnamed Ke, so that he doesn't have time to think about someone's vegetable patch.
As soon as I rolled my eyes, the bad water in my stomach began to churn......
After class, he rushed to the editorial office......
He is busy and anxious, which seems to allude to the characteristics of this era, and he looks quite bright and decent, but when he peels off the skin and looks inside, it is very miserable.
The broader social environment remains volatile.
First of all, on November 5, Richard Nixon of the Republican Party defeated the current Vice President Hubert Humphrey in the general election to become the 37th president of the United States with the campaign promise of "restoring law and order".
Before the election, many people thought that he would win by a big margin, but in fact, after the election, he only led Humphrey by 500,000 ordinary votes.
It all seems to be a repetition of the scene he had had run with JFK eight years ago, but this time he was the winner, and there were no rumors of a campaign fraud.
This can only be said that although Lyndon Johnson's policy is very unpopular, it doesn't seem to be bad to the point, only 50w ordinary votes, indicating that the Vietnam War is still considered a just and correct war by many Americans.
This surprised Edward and made him realize the enormity and complexity of the country.
The loser, Hubert Humphrey, graciously congratulated Nixon on his victory.
Frankly, he didn't do a good job as vice president, and being president is certainly the highlight of his career, but the next four years will be very difficult - just look at Lyndon Johnson announcing that he will not run again, and it is not impossible to go up and overturn himself.
Now it's easy to lose.
Moreover, for the party bigwigs and financiers who support him, he can also answer with his head held high, "This defeat is not a crime!" ”
Humphrey actually lost very unjustly because Alabama Governor George Wallace (who had nothing to do with the reporter) – a hard-line racist who quit the Democratic Party to become the presidential nominee of the third-party Independence Party and won the electoral votes in three southern states.
The three southern states were originally the territory of the so-called "Southern Democratic Party," and although they did not deal with the Northern Democratic Party, they used the same name, and if he did not quit the party, then these three states would most likely enter the Democratic Party's vote base.
The "Southern Democratic Party" is a very strange thing, and it involves a very nonsense history of the evolution of the political party in the United States.
Leaving aside the historical period of the first party system in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Beginning with the Civil War, the Republican Party in the North, which supported the abolitionists, eventually defeated the Democrats in the South, which of course was what Edward had learned in China's nine-year compulsory education in his previous life.
But in reality, the Civil War was actually a blow to plantation feudalism by capitalism, and the bourgeoisie represented by the Republican Party had no choice but to eliminate the backward and outdated plantation economy that could maintain self-sufficiency in order to obtain enough industrial population and a free trade market.
From the perspective of social development, the Republican Party is barely in line with the spirit of **** and belongs to the right side.
And the Democratic Party is the representative of the cruel and backward serf economy.
And blacks have always been supporters of the Republican Party.
At this stage, the Republicans are representatives of liberalism, while the Democrats, hehe, leave it aside for the time being.
But the situation began to change when Roosevelt's New Deal began.
The 1932 election gave the Democrats a majority in both houses and state governors, and the 1934 election further strengthened the majority.
The 1933 series of programs has been dubbed the "First New Deal" by historians, and the first wave of the New Deal basically represented the general public opinion of the time; Roosevelt tried to extend the New Deal further to business and labor, farmers and consumers, urban and rural – and at this point the Democrats began to occupy the position of "political correctness."
By 1934, Roosevelt's policies were becoming increasingly controversial. Roosevelt tried to shift the Democratic Party's support from business to farmers and laborers.
The New Deal was fundamentally a series of government controls and institutions that emerged in response to difficult economic times.
It was also during this period that two old terms were radically changed in the United States, with "liberal" and "liberal" beginning to represent a pro-New Deal stance.
The classical connotations of these two words have been labelled as "conservative" and "conservative" – primarily racist.
Conservatives in the Democratic Party were enraged by the New Deal, and the group of fellows under the leadership of A. Smith formed the American Liberty League in 1934 to try to fight back, but it was too late, and the root of the problem was laid. - Note that these conservatives are usually racists, descendants of large haciendas, entrenched in the South.
After taking control of the absolute majority in Congress in 1934, Roosevelt went on to unfold a legislative program known as the "Second New Deal."
The New Deal dramatically strengthened the influence of trade unions, nationalized and dramatically expanded social welfare, introduced more regulation of commerce (especially in transportation and communications), and increased taxation on business profits.
With these policies, he created a new electorate structure for the Democratic Party that was made up of disparate groups called the "New Deal Alliance," including unions, minorities (note: Catholics, Jews, and, for the first time, blacks, who became Democratic supporters on a large scale).
With the exception of the 1952 and 1956 elections, the New Deal coalition dominated American politics for decades, until 1968.
Roosevelt died in office on April 12, 1945. S. Truman took over as president, but he did not have the courage and popularity of Roosevelt, and conflicts within the Democratic Party began to emerge on a large scale.
Former Vice President Henry M. A. Wallace (another Wallace, the name is a real source of confusion) denounced Truman as a warmonger.
In the 1930s, blacks, who had been staunchly supportive of the Republican Party since the Civil War, began to shift toward the Democratic Party, largely because of the Democrats' New Deal poor measures, welfare policies, and the civil rights movement.
In many metropolises, such as Chicago, there is often an entire party unit that was originally part of the Republican Party that is instantly converted to a Democratic Party.
Now, however, the New Deal coalition is beginning to unravel (i.e., the predominantly racist Conservative Democrats are starting to get tired of the NGER), and as more and more Democratic leaders express their support for the civil rights movement, the Democratic Party's traditional conservative white votes in the South and Catholic support in the northern metropolises are beginning to disintegrate.
The mutiny on the Republican side did not bring much benefit to the Democratic Party, which also began to split itself over whether or not it supported the civil rights movement.
First, after Truman voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act and the repeal of the segregation laws at the 1948 Democratic ******, many Democrats in the South Carolina voted for South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond, the Dixie Democratic Party, who decided to run independently.
The English word Dixiecrat means southern states, but the root word dixie is pronounced like dicks, and it is obviously impossible for a party with such a name to exist for long.
South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond, who was born in 1902 and was 55 years old in 1957, is worth mentioning.
But in an effort to thwart the passage of the Civil Rights Act, Thurmond conducted a lengthy debate that lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes, the longest ever recorded for a lengthy debate by a single senator.
Hotels near Capitol Hill have provided canvas beds for lawmakers listening to the debate.
And Master Thurmond's topic is getting more and more off-topic, even including his grandmother's cookie recipe.
Some senators from the south had made concessions in advance and agreed not to engage in lengthy debates, and Thurmond's actions made them appear to be unconscionable, so they were also unhappy with Thurmond.
Lengthy debates, known as filibuster in English, are sometimes transliterated as "laborious procrastination" in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which may not be very elegant, and it is absolutely trustworthy and reachable.
In a narrow sense, it is a deliberative strategy in which a small or even a single member of parliament who are at a disadvantage is unable to veto specific bills or personnel, or when they have the right to speak, they make a marathon speech after gaining the right to speak, so as to paralyze deliberations, obstruct voting, and force the superior party to make concessions.
In a broad sense, a lengthy debate is a deliberative strategy in which members of parliament take advantage of loopholes in the rules of procedure to make lengthy speeches and use various methods to assist them in order to delay the process of the meeting.
This strategy achieves the goal of delaying the vote or delaying the process of the meeting by devoting itself to a very long debate.
But there are not many senators who have used this hand in history, and the reason is that the process is not only required to talk endlessly, but also there must be no interruptions - eating,, peeing, drinking water, coughing and spitting are probably possible......
Considering that Strom Thurmond was 55 years old at the time, the problem of hunger was put aside.
Usually the prostate of middle-aged and elderly men at this age begins to expand like their ambitions, so they can only praise one sentence: the science of the United States is too developed, and the technology of adult diapers is the best in the world......
Incidentally, when the second version of the Civil Rights Act was passed in '64, the Southern Democrats once again made the big move of "dragging things out."
But this time, in consideration of the health and safety of the prostate of the lawmakers, they adopted a bloc battle, with multiple senators taking turns to speak for 75 hours, including 14 hours for Roth Bird, a 53-year-old who was a member of the Ku Klux Klan when he was younger......
It can be seen that even the former Ku Klux Klan is far less fanatical about racial discrimination than Strom Thurmond, who claims to be absolutely not a racist.
Of course, considering that there is a 7-year gap between the two times, and there should be greater development in the diaper technology of the United States in the past seven years, can we also infer that Robert's prostate may be very unhealthy......
This can be proved in another way: at the age of 66, Trom Thurmond married Nancy Janice Moore, a 22-year-old Miss Nanka who was 44 years younger than him, and the "life" of the marriage was harmonious, as evidenced by the fact that they had four children.
It can be seen that power is indeed the best C medicine.
By the way, as a racist, he had a leg with the black maid in the family when he was younger, had an illegitimate daughter, and was a good father - he had been subsidizing his illegitimate daughter - except that he did not admit her existence.
Eventually, the habit of long debates, which seriously harmed the sleep health of the audience and the health of the speakers' prostate, was put to an end by law, after which the Senate rules of procedure allowed the closure of the lengthy debate if 3/5 of the members agreed.
Secondly, Strom Thurmond died in 2003, which means that he lived to be 101 years old, and he did not hand over the burden of being a senator until the year before his death, and he was probably the only politician who was more than 100 years old and still served the people of the United States...... Uh, politicians.
It seems that Alzheimer's disease seems to be immune to public servants.
Strom Thurmond did not join the group to block the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but he certainly never disappointed, when he simply quit the Democratic Party and joined the Republican Party.
He fired the first shot, and naturally someone followed
George Wallace's resignation from the party in '68 was tantamount to completely tearing the faces of both sides.
The Southern Democratic Party has also become the last stronghold of the racists, and the Democratic Party has lost hope in this group.
Wallace, on the other hand, won the electoral votes of three Southern states, but he was alone.
At this moment, the Republican Party extended warm hands to them and welcomed them with open arms.
For the Republican Party, this is a matter of losing the East and reaping the benefits.
They lost black voters because of the Civil Rights Act, and because JFK lost Catholics in the North, but gained the loyalty of the Red Necks in the South.
From then on, the Red Party and the Red Neck were officially hooked, and the original abolitionists began to wear a pair of pants with the descendants of the big estate owners.
The South, as the stronghold of the Democratic Party, is now the Republican Party.
From this point of view, the Republican Party finally knocked out the electoral advantage of the Democratic Party after the elder Roosevelt took office, and the loss of the previous Republican presidential candidate Gottward to Lyndon Johnson represented the end of the old Republican era.
Nixon's victory and Wallace's departure from the party represented the birth of a new Republican Party.
At this point, the two-party politics in the United States has gradually begun to move towards equilibrium.
