Nick Cannon and Amber Rose talking politics sparked a lot of conversation—but let me add a layer of history that’s missing.
If you don’t know who Barry Goldwater was, then you don’t fully understand how the modern conservative movement took shape. Most people point to Ronald Reagan because he won the presidency, but the shift started before him—and even before Richard Nixon. They refined and executed a message that Goldwater helped bring into national focus.
Go back and look at the states that went for Goldwater in 1964. That map tells a story.
At some point, we’ve got to build up a stronger platform of advocates and scholars to balance out the noise being pushed into our community. Too many feelings without facts is how people get misled.
Look him up—and tell somebody else. Because too often, the folks doing the real work don’t get amplified like the ones just talking about it.
