Mitt Romney built THIS Republican Party. Institutionalized racism, misogyny, homophobia, and white Christian separatism as party platform. No matter how "conservative" Republicans claimed to be, The Southern Strategy was the core value and singular driving force for the past 60 years. MAGA isn't a symptom, it's result

 @0d9708df @098a11ae Agree on the strategy. Don’t agree that he built it. That foundation was laid long ago and Romney just went along for the ride.
