And now we are brandishing N-bombs to somehow flex moral superiority? Pretty sure there's no need for that.Then STOP ASSUMING, *duh*…
I know it’s popular with the anti-democratic party to pretend that the Dixiecrats (a passel of hard-core racist southern politicians) *STILL* dominate the Democratic Party - to pretend that Nixon didn’t *invite* them into the Republican Party in ‘67-‘68 (on the advice of historian Kevin Phillips, who was the one who noticed that the Dixiecrats *always* voted w/ Republicans (especially on “racial issues”) & advised Nixon of the ‘Southern strategy’).
I know it’s also popular among the “GOP” to pretend that Lee Atwater *wasn’t* an old-school racist (he was), that he was never the Gypper’s campaign advisor (he was) or the Chairman of the Republican National Committee (he was), and that he never said:
So, the question is, are you honestly, ignorantly wrong about the “GOP” & racism? Or are you just a willfully corrupt liar?
A little ACTUAL history might disturb you, but it seems like you need it. Fortunately, your assumption only makes an ass out of *you*.
Just to be clear, I'm not leading the conversation here. I agreed that the Democratic party hasn't changed and did not present the idea, look back at it.
So here we are for some reason, so let's look at actual history at you put it.
Of the 1500+ racist "Dixiecrats" only Strom Thurmond and about a dozen others left the Democratic party for the GOP. That's less than 1%.
I'm not exactly sure what point you could attempt to make with numbers like that. There seems to be a trend to just emote things into existence and you seem to be doing just that.
