So now that we know there was no mass migration of Dixiecrats to the Republican party in the 60s and 70s, the SS is a myth. It was based on the accusations of all these racist Democrats becoming republicans and you can't find any of those people who migrated over (which the SS was predicated on) because Liberals have been called out on this myth for years now. Hence the wives tale that you so boldly defended.
Man, you are bad at this.
I have to snip this to fit it in the character limit. Rest assured that none of your statements will be altered in the creation of this beatdown.
You apparently are having a hard time differentiating between a mass exodus of Dixiecrats to the Republican Party (which I never claimed happened, for the record) and pandering to the very people who used to vote for those very same people. Its a difference, and a very big one. Understanding it would stop you from conflating the ideas that there was a huge number of politicians who became Republicans and the people who voted for those people changing who they started voting for.
Now you want to claim its the ideology that changed and not the actual people. You can change what you want to claim over and over but what you can't change is the actual Democrat votes on civil rights, or the history of the Republican party who actually freed the slaves.
God damn you are thickheaded. Yes, conservatives voted to keep civil rights not a right for minorities. How many times do I have to keep saying that? Liberals (you know, like Abraham Lincoln) have always fought for the rights of minorities. Conservatives (like 99% of southern politicians in the 1860's) fought to keep them in chains.
Yes Virginia, ideology DOES matter in this discussion. You keep framing it the way you do (Democrat vs. Republican) because to have it on honest parameters (conservative vs. liberal) puts you in a ****ty spot. I get it....like childbirth, just breath through it.
The Republican Party emerged in 1854 to combat the Kansas–Nebraska Act and the expansion of slavery into American territories. The early Republican Party consisted of African-Americans, northern white Protestants, businessmen, professionals, factory workers, and farmers.
Yep, and they were called liberals by the southern state Democrats of the time. That I keep having to point this out to you just makes me sad that you can't figure out that I actually agree with you on what party freed the slaves. The difference is that I understand what they stood for and what they would be more akin to in this day and age than you apparently do.
Democrats voted to keep Africans Americans in slavery, opposing the 13th Amendment which officially freed the slaves. Only four Democrats voted for it.
Man, if only the voting records for these things didn't exist, right? Then, I wouldn't be able to once again support my claim that it was ideology that drove that vote and not inherently party affiliation. The 4 Democrats who voted for it were from the openly more liberal north. The ones who didn't vote for it were from, you guessed it, what used to be Confederate states. Every one of them. Guess what states started voting Republican shortly after the CRA was passed? Those same former Confederate states. Guess what area is STILL voting primarily Republican.....nevermind, I'm sure you get the picture even if you aren't intellectually honest enough to admit it.
Republicans also passed the 14th Amendment which granted slaves U.S. citizenship; Democrats voted against it.
Liberals also passed the 14th Amendment which granted slaves U.S citizenship; Conservatives voted against it.
Fixed it for you.
