In 1915 the Supreme Court had to knock down the very obvious violation of the fifteenth amendment that was the Grandfather Clause.
BoardAd was giving me some particulars about which states allowed women to vote in 1915.
There is a connection here that relates to real history. The problem is that we ignore real history to concentrate on Marxist Historical Inevitability or other nonsense.
In 1920 women were given the vote by constitutional amendment.
So why did the NAACP win its first big legal battle on the Grandfather Clause?
Because no one else at the time was interested in it.
So how did a number of states allow women to vote with a bewildering set of restrictions?
Because, in each state, somebody was INTERESTED.
This is important to BUGS.
While so many others say it’s all about Exposing Them, the Conspirators, and the entire commentary class talks about Historical Inevitability, we say that what matters is that WE, we few, are going to get the message manageable, and then we are going to get our message out.
That concept is absolutely alien to the Marxist and the Conspiracy Theorist. They see a world in which Geniuses and Capitalists have taken control.
There is a story in each state which allowed the vote. There is a story in the restrictions in each state.
BoardAd tells me that a lot of states only allowed women to vote in school-related issues. Every state that allowed women to vote unconditionally was a state that needed to attract female immigrants.
And in a lot of cases, when you look at the state and the exact restrictions, your reaction is “What the hell?”
By which question you are cheating yourself. Behind every single case and every single restriction is a story, a story of someone and of a society and exactly what that person was balancing and thinking about.
In other words, real history.

In the future, THE history book will read something like, “In a time when Whites were in the World minority, every state allowed non-Whites to vote unconditionally because it ‘needed’ to attract immigrants. They said that they did this in an effort to attract cheap labor or garner a larger voting base. They called it immigration. However, it was part of a program of genocide against Whites.
These anti-Whites attempted to snuff out the White race. And they failed.”

Our enemies are entirely too wild.
They haven’t given the slightest consideration to what their radicalism means for who really inherits the world.
The Mantra is indelible. It has already been sown into the world. There is no way to get it out. The Mantra is like a celebrity, who having achieved fame, cannot now get rid of it.
It has to do with the facts on the ground and the way injustice sinks into the molecular fabric of the world, and also how people resist a generalized deterioration of descent. That is why the senility we now suffer is a prelude to new dominions where everything, literally everything, becomes more dangerous and uncertain.
The whole demand for universal suffrage was a doozy (that we are still mired in) that insured durable dictatorship. The dictatorship we suffer is a facet of ambient danger. There is simply no escape from the wilds.
The idiotic suffragettes were entirely blind to this fact, as women always are.
Life is a god-awful mess. That is for sure.
