You really are ******* demented. No one is saying Democrats back then were really Republicans. We're pointing out that Democrats back then were made up mostly of conservative southerners.
Aside from the fact that you are now engaging in bigotry towards "southerners" they were indeed Democrats, so tell that to Pogo stick up the ass. Yet another example of the intolerance of leftists: "all southerners are dumb racist rednecks". Pathetic.
I'm not seeing this here "bigotry". He didn't say "all southerners are dumb racist rednecks" -- YOU did.
He said Democrats were made up mostly of conservative Southerners. There's nothing bigoted in that, though to be correct Democrats were nationwide, not just in the South, and the Southern wing was always by nature the conservative one, forever at odds with those in the same party in other parts of the country. I already mentioned that -- it's why they had that schism in 1948 and as far back as 1860, as well as the smaller ones in our lifetimes with Wallace -- who, like the rest of the conservative South, continually railed against "Liberals".
That was before you moved here though, so you go ahead and tell us about our own history.
