Talk Elections

Out of these two, who do you support?

Racist Liberal: He'd be the perfect candidate of the left, except for one thing. He's a virulent racist who wishes to impose restrictions on non-white suffrage, supports south-africa style townships and reservations for minorities and all sorts of segregation-era petty humiliations. Justifies his  virulent racism by pointing out and citing differences in race and intelligence.

The anti-racist conservative: Largely a typical conservative, but in this election is the more open-minded one. Doesn't support any of the measures of the racist liberal and would oppose it. Supports ending all legislation and programs related to race. Justifies his hands off stances by pointing to the constitution and citing MLK's "I have a dream" speech.

The conservative- and he would win in a landslide

Keep in mind that the anti-racist conservative wouldn't be that different from your typical republican candidate. He'd still be anti-gay, anti-abortion, pro-war, etc.

The racist liberal would still be 'green', pro-choice, pro-welfare, etc and all the other trendy causes. He just doesn't think overly highly of the dusky hued peoples of the world.

Why so sure about a landslide?

Anti-racist conservatives also tend against war.

presume that this candidate is a generic establishment con in every other way for the purposes of this thread

Because my opinion of people with different skin tones affects my foreign policy decision making. Maybe in some cases. I suppose Bush was an adamant racist then.

Said election is impossible. But the Racist liberal would also be pro-eugenic then.

Because the anti-racist conservative would be in the political mainstream whereas the other one wouldn't.
