'His ideas may be closely linked to a later generation of Republicans, but they certainly don’t want to claim him.' HistoryAsItHappens podcast
George Wallace was a segregationist. He was a pro-union Democrat who railed against federal power and pointy-headed bureaucrats. He demanded law and order while standing up for downtrodden, working class whites. He ran for president as an independent in 1968, winning 13 percent of the popular vote and five states. George Wallace was a right-wing populist with a talent for performative politics.
His inheritors have found a home in the prevailing, pro-Trump wing of the GOP. In this episode, historian and Wallace biographer Dan Carter discusses the politics of rage eating at the body politic in the age of Trump. This is a podcast for people who want to think historically about current events. Everything happening today comes from something, somewhere. The past shapes the present.
