All was well and good until the moment when gays and black began to fight against fictional discrimination. After that, politicians have begun to use it in their own interests to attract voters.

Yeah, because slavery, interracial marriage laws, race riots, poll taxes, literacy tests, white primaries, the Ku Klux Klan, accusations of African-American heritage to sink a political career, segregation, Jim Crow, Plessy v. Ferguson, Dred Scott v. Sandford, the conservative Dixiecrats, "sodomy" laws, the Lavender Scare, and "religious freedom" laws never happened... right?
"All was well and good until the moment when American Christian fundamentalists began to fight against fictional discrimination. After that, fundamentalist politicians have begun to use it in their own interests to attract voters."
There, fixed it for you. And that was ridiculously easy.
Seriously, when you start denying homosexuals and black people are being (greatly) discriminated against, you're just living in your own fake reality. That's called delusion and should get you into an asylum.
"FICTIONAL discrimination"?
So, being enslaved wasn't discrimination? Being lynched wasn't discrimination? Being forced to sit in the back of the bus isn't discrimination? Being beaten & tied to a fence-post to freeze to death isn't discrimination?
What would you consider discrimination?
The discrimination is OH-SO-VERY REAL!!! WHY WOULD YOU THINK OTHERWISE, DUMBASS?!
All was well and good until those pesky "minorities" decided that they wanted a voice and to be treated equally to us white, straight, Christian men. Sure, blacks, homosexuals, and women didn't have the same rights as us pasty skinned males, and life was a misery for some, but life was fine for my kind of people, which is all that matters to me. Any prejudice and bigotry should have toughened them up anyway, and at least they had God, unlike nowadays with those bloody godless atheists tearing up trees and destroying the fabric of society.

Of course, back in the good ol' days of the Dixiecrats and Tammany Hall, no politicians ever used the voters in their own interests, no sir.
Confused?
