@DunningKruger @deadgerbil the switch was largely who was in the party. If you look at issues from the late nineteenth century through the mid twentieth you'll see a lot of divide in civil rights actually happened along a North/South division than a democrat/republican split. This was largely masked by the south having majority support for democrats and the north having majority support for republicans. But if you look at the exceptions of northern democrats and southern republicans, they were more likely to vote on civil issues based on geography rather than party.

Consolidation of party ideology nationwide didn't really happen until middle to end of twentieth century.

@DunningKruger it's unreal. They will also say that the KKK are democrats, when it's clear as day they are racially conservative, have always been that way, and have switched to the party that best reflects that.

@deadgerbil Anything to avoid responsibility, it seems.

@sunsporter1649 Those people aren’t democrats, and indeed, vandalized a DNC building after the election. As always, you’re completely brain dead.

@QuixoticSoul If you are a left-wing nut job barry big ears was right up your alley. The rest of us wanted no part of his screwball ideas
