The language of “Law and order” is just a cover-up between racists and their targets. The advantage for racists and police by their choice of words covers up the fact they are stopping people of color with the “law and order” which is just a cover-up of the fact they stopped their target because of their race and gives them the ability to enforce racial segregation behind the wording of “Law and Order”.
I believe the Southern Strategy still influences American Politics because we witnessed it first hand during the presidency of Republican Donald Trump. For example, his beliefs and racial division won political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against people of color. His slogan “Make America Great Again” was a thin excuse that white supremacy could make resistance to movements that challenge systemic racism.
