The party of slavery

Wait, the two parties switched now? Oh that's right, I forget, that's the go-to when people point out the Democrats are the party of slavery, we simply switched hats.

Oh wait, the switch happened in 1964 you say. Interesting. Is that because a large percentage of Democrats voted against the Civil Rights act? Now these Democrats are Republicans right?

We just switched is all. How convenient.

1964 was the first time a Republican carried a Southern state in a presidential election since the Civil War ended.

Several factors contributed to Barry Goldwater's success in the Deep South during the 1964 presidential election:
  • Opposition to the Civil Rights Act: Goldwater's vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which aimed to dismantle segregation and discrimination, resonated with Southern voters who opposed the legislation. While many Republicans and Northern Democrats supported the act, Goldwater believed certain provisions, like those concerning public accommodations and fair employment, were unconstitutional expansions of federal power.
  • States' Rights Philosophy: Goldwater's emphasis on states' rights, arguing that civil rights should primarily be left to the states, appealed to those who feared federal overreach and wished to preserve the existing racial hierarchy in the South.
  • "Southern Strategy": Goldwater's campaign, whether intentionally or not, employed a "Southern Strategy" by appealing to voters disaffected by the Democratic Party's stance on civil rights. This strategy involved using rhetoric and policies that attracted white, conservative Southern Democrats who felt alienated by their party's shift toward liberalism.
  • Racial Backlash: The 1964 election took place during a period of intense racial tension and a strong backlash against the Civil Rights Movement in the South. Goldwater's stance, while not explicitly racist, provided a platform for those who opposed racial equality and integration. Martin Luther King, Jr. expressed concern that Goldwater's philosophy "gave aid and comfort to the racists".
It's important to note that
  • While Goldwater won five states in the Deep South – Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina – he did so amidst a landslide defeat to President Lyndon B. Johnson nationally.
  • The 1964 election marked a pivotal moment in American politics, leading to a long-term realignment of the South from a Democratic stronghold to a Republican stronghold.
  • While Goldwater's message resonated with a segment of Southern voters, it also alienated many moderate Republicans and African American voters, who shifted their support to the Democratic Party.

That's because Goldwater was more conservative than Johnson.

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States saw the largest annual decline in crude oil production on record, averaging 11.3 million barrels per day (b/d), down 8% from the previous year's record high.
Donald Trump was the President of the United States at the time. The decline in production was primarily due to a sharp drop in oil prices caused by the decrease in demand for petroleum products as a result of the global response to the pandemic, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). The declining prices led crude oil operators to shut in wells and limit new drilling, which lowered the output for major oil-producing regions.

The price of crude oil actually went negative for a little while in 2020.

MAGAs don't mention that when bragging about gas being cheaper back then.

Probably because they've been kept ignorant as always.

Why do you fools keep spewing this lie when you know it is a lie?

United States produces more crude oil than any country, ever


Inflation started when our supply chains seized up and the Republicans and Democrats were trying to outcompete each other with stimulus spending.

Trump says he wants a bigger stimulus package than the $2.2 trillion amount that Democrats are seeking​
