When do you think the Dixicrats ended? George Wallace remained Alabama's Governor until 1987, one year before Biden decided to run for President the first time. The Dixiecrats have never left the Democrat Party, they just try to hide their bigotry - exactly like Biden.
What a stupid, dishonest comment.
Let's be clear about what a Dixiecrat was, shall we? The Dixiecrats were ideological paleoconservatives, nationalists/fascists, white supremacists and States' Rights advocates. That's the GOP today. In other words, modern-day Republicans are the Dixiecrats of the 21st century.
And yet, you say the Dixiecrats never left the Democratic Party, huh?
So...
--S.C. Sen. Strom Thurmond never left the Democratic Party?
--N.C. Sen. Jesse Helm never left the Democratic Party?
--Texas Sen. Phil Gramm never left the Democratic Party?
--Miss. Sen. Trent Lott never left the Democratic Party?
--Ga. Gov. Nathan Deal never left the Democratic Party?
--Ga. Gov. Sonny Perdue never left the Democratic Party?
--Sen. Richard Shelby never left the Democratic Party?
--Sen. Thad Cochran never left the Democratic Party
I could go on and on...the list would be endless.
Heck, virtually EVERY southern Republican beyond the age of 65 is a former Dixiecrat who switched to the GOP after the Civil Rights movement. Every GOP leader from a southern state beyond the age of 65 is a former Dixiecrat. There is virtually no ideological space between the old Dixiecrats and modern-day GOPers.
So...just a moronic, dishonest argument from you, Glitch.
George Wallace was among the very few prominent Dixiecrats who never switched to the GOP (Robert Byrd being the other). He renounced and apologized for his segregationist past, and was re-elected in the early 80's with the help of foregiving African-American voters. Of course, after retiring from politics, Wallace also acknowledged that he never again voted for another Democrat, and that he supported Reagan, Bush Sr, and Bob Dole over their Democratic opponents.
