Conservative Confederates in the south were Democrats but became Republicans

[rdean]

Conservative Confederates in the south were Democrats but became Republicans in the middle 1960's. Do Republicans on the USMB understand that?

Lincoln was not a confederate.

The KKK was started by confederate conservatives that were in the Democratic Party until blacks started joining. Then they fled the Democrats and became Republicans.

This is just the simple truth. How is it USMB Republicans don't understand this history?

 

[whitehall]

Actually the South (unjustly) hated republican Lincoln so much that socialist bigoted racist democrats had an easy time well into the 1970's convincing low information victims of the education system to vote democrat. FDR appointed a former member of the KKK to the supreme court without much opposition from the democrat majority and justice Hugo Black wrote the bigoted anti-Christian version of the separation of Church and State that we live with today.

 

[Vigilante]

And liberal whites in the 1960's became liberal blacks! Ergo....Blow Job Clinton's fame as the first BLACK president!

 

[rdean]

I was hoping for some alternate GOP history. It's always entertaining.

How does this explain BJ Bubba Clinton? Who said racist comments about your Messiah just a few years ago. Who has consistently stated his hero was Senator J William Fulbright...Google him as it is likely you know nothing about him...a well known racist, segregationist, protector of Jim Crow laws, against civil right laws?

And lets not forget Senator Robert Byrd (google him too as you likely know nothing about him)...a KKK member and devout racist...who lead the Ds in the Senator for many years, not long ago.

You consistently post foolish, ignorant, and easily disputed statements. When will you ever learn that you are a DOPE?

Yes, it was just a coincidence that they began to switch parties after the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Washington Monthly
<excerpts>
The Democratic Party, in the first half of the 20th century, was home to competing constituencies -- southern whites with abhorrent views on race, and white progressives and African Americans in the north, who sought to advance the cause of civil rights. The party struggled, ultimately siding with an inclusive, liberal agenda.

As the party shifted, the Democratic mainstream embraced its new role. Republicans, meanwhile, also changed. In the wake of Democratic President Lyndon Johnson signing the Civil Rights Act, the Republican Party welcomed the white supremacists who no longer felt comfortable in the Democratic Party. Indeed, in 1964, Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater boasted of his opposition to the Civil Rights Act, and made it part of his platform. It was right around this time when figures like Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond made the transition -- leaving the Democratic Party for the GOP.

In the ensuing years, Democrats embraced their role as the party of diversity, inclusion, and civil rights. Republicans became the party of the "Southern Strategy," opposition to affirmative action, campaigns based on race-baiting, vote-caging, discriminatory voter-ID laws, and politicians like Helms and Thurmond.

Indeed, as the chairman of the Republican National Committee recently conceded, his party deliberately used racial division for electoral gain for the last four decades.

It was hard for the Democratic party to give up all those solid-south votes but they did it; all to do what was right for America.

Exactly.
2 Democrats left the party right after the civil rights bill was passed.

historical pattern. Republicans are more in favor of the bill:

Civil Rights support by party

80% of Republicans in the House and Senate voted for the bill. Less than 70% of Democrats did.

I love watching the secret klans clowns try to get around the solid fact of conservatives then and conservatives now harbor the great majority of southern white racists.

Did you see that? Some idiot says only 46 racist Democrats became Republican in 20 years. At least he admits they are racist. And how many politicians switch parties over a normal 20 years period? 5? 6? Less?

Now retard, just how many subversives were there in that 20 year period,?One thousand?...TWO Thousand, MORE as to ALL idiots in the Democratic party in all 50 states over 20 years..... A mere drop in the bucket as far as assholes go! Even YOUR IQ is higher than 46, but I must admit, it was getting close!.... He said that all the Racist Democrats stayed racists... learn to read!

 

[whitehall]

Are we going nuts on the forum? Democrats were really ...gasp....democrats during the Civil Rights era. They voted for democrats including jerks and crooks like LBJ. FDR didn't give a damn. He appointed a former KKK member to the supreme court and bigot anti-papist Hugo Black coincidentally wrote the majority opinion that created the modern separation church/state that wasn't even based on Constitutional law.
