The Racist Biden Administration gets hit for 3rd time from another judge.Posted By Richard Davis |
1 Dixiecrat Senator during the civil rights era as you claimed changed to Republican while in office.Originally Posted by James Lacey
No, there was, and it's easy to see if you look at electoral maps over time. For yourself, you can see the South shift from solidly Democratic to solidly Republican starting around the beginning of the civil-rights era. I'm not sure why you and Rich get hung up on the "name them then!" canard. Have you never heard of the Dixiecrats for example?
Suppose you look at the history of the Democratic party and the Republican party from, say, about 1872 to 1936. This period is when they started switching platforms. And people followed. It's no more difficult to understand than that. Of course, the reasons they began switching platforms are numerous. One of the most important ones is that the Northern Democrats, starting with FDR, want to significantly expand federal power and civil rights protections. As I've said many times, these pivotal moments in US political history are well understood and not even controversial in academic circles. If you deny them, then you are viewed as a whacko like Dinesh D'Souza. However, as I said, it doesn't affect me that your understanding of US political history is so weak and partisan. If you want to believe that the Democratic party of today is akin to the Democratic Party of the South and civil-war era, then all I can say is that is an incredibly wrong understanding. In the real world, things change over time.
The past that you're speaking about is when many black citizens moved from one party to another.
Now you're trying to move the goal posts and cover the era of 1872 to 1936. That wasn't the CIVIL RIGHTS era.
You're a fraud of the highest order, and you're now trying to say that this is what you were talking about?
This was your statement: the Democratic Party of the Civil War consisted of not only Southern Democrats, who ultimately fled to the Republican party during the civil-rights era
Bullshit, you liar.
