Interview Yesterday on CBS - Struggles of a President

[FollowTheWay]

Big business is all Democrat now-you yourself are an example. Hollywood and Silicon Valley are all leftist strongholds with deep pockets. And then you have communists like Soros. No, the Democrats are the party of old white people who call themselves gentry in the cities and who are rich. The plantation owners were rich Democrats so nothing has changed.

The Republicans and Democrats changed roles in the early 1900's. Yes, the Republican Party WAS the party of Lincoln and the liberal party. That hasn't been true for over a hundred years.

Did you sleep through the Civil Rights movement and the Civil Rights Act?

They certainly did not change places. The Democrats are the coastal elites who live in wealth just as the plantation owners did.

LOL

Ignorance is bliss, they say. For your sake I hope they're right.

Having a real hard time trying to stop laughing.

You mean The opposition to the Civil Rights Act was led by Democrats.

Actually nothing has changed. Democrats use the same arguments today to murder the unborn, they used yesterday to enslave black men and women. They simply dispute personhood. They don't believe in life and liberty for all. It's their legacy.

Democrats and Republicans Switched Platforms Fact

Democrats and Republicans Switched Platforms - Fact or Myth?

The American political parties, now called Democrats and Republicans, switched platform planks, ideologies, and members many times in American history. These switches were typically spurred on by major legislative changes and events, such as the Civil War in the 1860’s, and Civil Rights in the 1960’s. The changes then unfolded over the course of decades to create what historians call the “Party Systems“.

Bottomline: The parties changed over time as platform planks, party leaders, factions, and voter bases essentially switched between parties. Third parties aside, the Democratic Party used to be favored in the rural south and had a “small government” platform (which southern social conservatives embraced), and the Republican party used to be favored in the citied north and had a “big government” platform (which northern progressive liberals embraced). Today it is the opposite in many respects. Although what happened is complex and some voter bases and factions never switched, you can see evidence of the “big switches” by looking at the electoral map over time (where voter bases essentially flipped between 1896 and 2000). Or, you can see it by comparing which congressional seats were controlled by which parties over time (try comparing the 115th United States Congress under Trump to the 71st United States Congress under Hoover for example). Or, you can see the “solid conservative south switch” specifically by looking at the electoral map of the solid south over time. Or, you can dig through the historic party platforms. Any of those links will give you a look at the basics of what did and didn’t change, but the details are as complex as U.S. party history. Below we cover the details of what changes occurred and what they mean in context… and explain the history of the Democratic and Republican party in the process. To do that, we’ll start with an overview of the party systems.

The Democrat party is the party of slavery, its the party of the Klu Klux Klan, its the party of anti- civil rights, and it is the party of black and minority oppression today.

That's simply not the case as is described in the above article.

Fact: A Democrat writes an article to explain away his support for his party's past, not impressed:

BLACK REPUBLICAN BLOG: Republicans and Democrats Did Not Switch Sides On Racism
History Lesson: Racist Democrats and the Big Lie

"switched platforms", don't think so, they both have shifted left but his party's has shifted waaaaaaay left. He's trying to run away from his party's past and take the credit for the good the GOP. Rationalization.

 

[Reynolds]

That's simply not the case as is described in the above article.

The facts are the facts. Those facts are that the Republicans have always been the party of morality and the Democrats the party of immorality. That remains unchanged since mid 1800s.

 

[Revmitchell]

That's simply not the case as is described in the above article.

Said article is delusional

Woodrow Wilson was an open racist. FDR also.

So no working class are Democrats?
