This looks like some editorialized bullshit from Occupy Democrats. Though LBJ did say it, it implies only Republicans vote against the interests of the working class. When liberals say ‘against their best interests’ they always mean their own personal interests.
Interesting to apply a two party filter. But also quite pre conditioned.

Thank you. I was thinking “there’s no way he actually said the quiet part out loud”, but he really did!
Edit: the context is not what I expected. I encourage everyone to read the article.
And today it’s: “if you convince the lowest man that they are better than the best woman or queer person….”
The republicans found a way to unite men off all color to vote against their self interest.
Well, racism is still very much part of the equation alongside all the other bigotry. It is a buffet of bigotry, allowing bigots to pick their favourite one as a reason to vote for them.
thats actually quite a good sum up of one of the ways they use racism to divide us.
