It was placed over state capitals and on state flags to protest desegregation.
Yeah, no racism there.
By Democrat Governors correct?
Would you like to make the assertion that Democrats today are the same, with the same political goals as the Southern Democrats back then?
Absolutely not. It's not the same Democrat party of old and thank heavens its not.
What I don't understand is why Democrats can't just admit a history that was not so pretty and pat themselves on the back for leaving those days behind.
Why do modern day Democrats so hell bent for leather that they have the need to demonize Republicans and attempt to flip both parties histories? Pixie dust falling and making all Democrats Republicans and all Republicans magically turning into Democrats. Overnight.
It's pretty sick.
There you go again with the "overnight" horseshit.
We did this already. Now you're gonna pretend like it never happened.
It's pretty sick.
MOREOVER, nobody anywhere
ever claimed "Republicans turned into Democrats". The South didn't have Republicans to turn.
Here's the historical elephant in the room you keep ignoring:
The Republican Party was founded just seven years before the Civil War broke out. It had no presence in the South whatsoever --- didn't even print ballots there, not in 1860, not in the prior election, not in the next election either. By the time the dust cleared in 1865, it was established -- by reputation -- in the South as the Party of Lincoln, the guy who had just vanquished and humiliated them in a war they expected to win. And then it came in with the "big government" Reconstructionists, which it saw as occupiers -- and these were the first Republicans the South saw.
Consequently it would become, and remain, unthinkable to associate with Republicans in the South for exactly 99 years -- until Thurmond broke the ice and finally jumped ship officially in 1964.
That meant the DP was the only game in town, like it or not. That meant if you were a racist in the South, and you were registered to vote, you were most likely a Democrat. If you were not a racist at all, you were still a Democrat. This has nothing to do with ideologies -- it has everything to do with political machines to get things done. Ideologically the Southern Democrats were completely at odds with the rest of the party. But for any political party, consistency of ideology is not the main goal. Acquiring power is.
I don't appreciate the progressives that have hijacked the Dems.
