That is not the kool-aid I choose to drink.That all changed when LBJ got the Civil Rights Bill passed in the early 1960s.
Then the former Democrats turned Republican and turned the party of Abraham Lincoln into the party of Strom Thurmond (Dixiecrat before he turned full-blown GOPer).
Since that time, the Democratic Party has been the party that has championed Black rights, while the GOP has turned to voter suppression, voter nullification, etc. and so forth.
You might want to check your history a bit. There were four Civil Rights Act pieces of legislation, and on each of them a higher percentage of Republicans voted for the bills than Democrats. The first two bills were under the Eisenhower administration.That all changed when LBJ got the Civil Rights Bill passed in the early 1960s.
I think that is a fair assessment based on the current situation. To claim one side is intrinsically evil and racist while the other is virtuous and just is completely intellectually dishonest.As far as I’m concerned, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party as a whole are just two sides of the same coin.
Could you please provide the names of the racist Democrats who switched to the Republican Party? Thanks in advance. Oh, and requiring an ID to vote is not voter suppression.That all changed when LBJ got the Civil Rights Bill passed in the early 1960s.
