How Democrats and Republicans traded identities
America’s political parties were not always what they are today. Democrats once dominated the South, Republicans once led reform. Economic crisis, civil rights, and cultural change broke old coalitions. Politicians adapted faster than voters realized. Strategy replaced ideology in pursuit of power. Over decades, identities flipped almost completely. Today’s divisions are the result of those choices.
Comment:
The Democrats are still the party of racial hatred and anti civil rights and anti voting rights.
They demand racial discrimination in college admissions and in hiring and promotion.
Their election rigging and voter fraud crimes violate everyone's right to vote.
Blocking the Save Act is an admission to their guilt.
The only thing that has switch is who the Democrats hate.
Nice try.
Every once in a while on this forum, some ignorant idiot like yourself tries to associate the present day liberal Democrats with the old time conservative Southern Democrats. This is a profound ignorance of American history. The kind of ignorance on the same level which believes George Washington "seized the airports".
This is about the purest demonstration of ignorance and stupidity as it gets.
So I guess they told you it was your turn to once again propagate this bullshit, eh?
Let's take this step-by-step.
Tell me...which party is it that protests the tearing down of Confederate statues?
Which party was pissed about the renaming of Army bases named after Confederate generals? Which party is now returning those base names to the Confederate names?
Which party waves the Confederate battle flag at events like the sacking of the US Capitol and protests about tearing down Confederal statues?
If you STILL haven't experienced any cognition yet, let's take a look at some photos and see if you can guess if the old timey racists were liberal or conservative, okay?
When the Klan carries an AMERICA FIRST banner in a parade, with two prominent
Christian crosses on it, who does that remind you of?
.

Moving on...
Here's a guy with the US flag topped by a
cross.
The Holy Bible. The Confederate flag. A sword.
Also note the Klansman symbol worn on their breast was a blood drop
cross (which was actually a yin-yang symbol originally).
Conservative or liberal?
.
Now let's take a look at these Christian terrorists. Conservative or liberal?
Do you think they supported black civil rights?
Do you think they supported gay rights?
Do you think they wanted a big federal government?
Do you think they wanted single-payer health care?
Do you think they wanted to appease the Soviet Union?
.
Now how about this handsome fella. Does he strike you as a liberal?
RACE MIXING IS COMMUNISM!
.
How about these fine people? Left wing or right wing?
.
Are you feeling stupid right about now?
You should. If you aren't, you are beyond help.
You see, your propagandists absolutely depend on your idiocy. They just have to wave the "Democrat" red flag in your face, and your total ignorance of history kicks in, just as they counted on.
The fact is, ignoramus, the Democrats of the old Deep South were conservatives. And the Klan were far right Christian terrorists.
