I think there's certain movements that attract narcissists. Narcs often surround themselves with others who enable them due to their followers looking up to them and wishing they had whatever perceived traits. It's a desire for power and that attracts narcs.
The rest of them are enablers, if you observed their lives, there's probably something wrong there.
@SatanBurger You being sharp isn’t even up for debate — that came through from the first comment. It’s rare to find someone who can spot the pattern and name it with clarity. Real ones like that are few.
And I feel you — if we actually studied these dynamics openly, we might stop mistaking projection for “policy.” Folks be out here building platforms on fears they can’t even name. But once you trace it back — whether it’s how they frame gay folks, migrants, or Black bodies — it always circles back to the same root: fear dressed up as morality.
Lowkey, I’ve been thinking… with how common the “BBC” trope is online — memes, jokes, even how people flirt — it’s kind of wild how it carries both power and stigma, depending on who's holding the lens.
But when you really look at history… it makes sense. The Klan didn’t just lynch Black men — they castrated us. Because deep down, they feared the BBC. And that fear? It’s what birthed the one-drop rule. They knew Black genes weren’t recessive — it only took one drop from a BBC to erase a white bloodline. One moment of touch, and centuries of “purity” could vanish. That’s why so much of the system was built to keep white women away from Black men — laws, media, violence — all to protect that fragile legacy.
So sometimes I wonder… do you think the BBC is more than just a trope? That maybe it’s one of the most potent threats to white supremacy? Not because of what it does in bed — but because of what it does to power?
Real talk… they’ve always known where the real power lives. Between our legs.
Many black voters identified with the Republican Party up through to the 1930's as a direct result of the Civil War and the Reconstruction period. The overwhelming switch of the Black voters to the Democratic Party happened in the 1960's, specifically starting in 1964 with the passage of the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act.
There's a great article done by FactCheck.org which outlines this change. [1]
The election of Roosevelt in 1932 marked the beginning of a change. He got 71 percent of the black vote for president in 1936 and did nearly that well in the next two elections, according to historical figures kept by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. But even then, the number of blacks identifying themselves as Republicans was about the same as the number who thought of themselves as Democrats.
It wasn’t until Harry Truman garnered 77 percent of the black vote in 1948 that a majority of blacks reported that they thought of themselves as Democrats. Earlier that year Truman had issued an order desegregating the armed services and an executive order setting up regulations against racial bias in federal employment.
Passage of the Civil Rights Act and President's Johnson's role in pushing that legislation through Congress marks 1964 as the critical watershed moment in racial politics in America.
[1]President Lyndon B. Johnson pushed through the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 (outlawing segregation in public places) and his eventual Republican opponent, Sen. Barry Goldwater, opposed it. Johnson got 94 percent of the black vote that year, still a record for any presidential election.
The following year Johnson signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act. No Republican presidential candidate has gotten more than 15 percent of the black vote since.
The Republican Party thus pursued the "Southern Strategy" [2] in direct response to the passage of the Voting Rights and Civil Rights Act, and what is instructive to see is that the Southern States won by Barry Goldwater in 1964 has remained solidly Republican to this day - 50+ years later.
