That's the spirit, faker, cry for the Confederate flag yet not ye olde Democrat Party ideals you claim it represents because hypocrisy is the Alt Rightist's favorite staff.

Sadly, and as you already well know, there is no amount of mental health help that can bring you back to reality.

You are the heritage not haters who are crying they are coming down/fighting to keep the confederate flag over courthouses.

You can't spin this that its the democrats who are the racists. We oppose your fascism, dipshit.

The OP's "We" would be the "They" you keep referring to, or does that confuse your hypocritical noodle that much?

Your support of the fascistic trend embraced by the head of MY Goverment kinda indicates you endorse it. But then again, your doublespeak tendencies probably allows you to duck out of that little tidbit.

Lol, I am not a fascist. I support things like people having healthcare.

Your fascism is the confederate flag waving ignorance of right wing bootlickers where the state and corporations control all.

Not to mention, KKK was founded by former Confederate soldiers, not Democrats. It was a racist grassroots organization with ties across the south, but was not a "Democratic" organization.

Despite racism that was much stronger, even back then it was too toxic for mainstream acceptance. The KKK still wore hoods to conceal their identities, after all.

So you DO agree with what I said about Ronny the Reagan earlier and his non-switch switch?

Ronald Reagan was a Democrat when Byrd was in the Klan.

Byrd was like 18 years old.

But sure, thats the best you could do to prove what? that you aren't the party of racists?

Sorry, you failed.

The parties switched in the 1960s. You'd know that if you didn't get history from looking at Statues and old episodes of Dukes of Hazard.

Oh, I remember when the parties switched. It was on national television. The Republicans called the meeting. They said to the Democrats, "Hey, we know our whole identity is about civil rights. Our party's whole reason for being was to abolish slavery and to give black Americans all the same rights as white Americans. Our party is also the party of equality of women. Everything we have done up to this point has been to guarantee equality for all Americans. But we are tired of being the good guys. We were hoping you'd switch with us because we want to be the assholes for awhile. Will you switch party platforms with us please?" See how ridiculous this is? The party switch thing is a myth. It never happened. It's a con job. It's the biggest, boldest con in history and you believed it. There is exactly no evidence that it actually happened. Just because you say an untrue thing is true ten thousand times, it doesn't make it so

The Southern Strategy is a myth. The party switch is a myth. The Southern Strategy is supposedly that Nixon couldn't win without the south, so he decided to appeal to the south's endemic racism. The problem is that Nixon won in 1968 without the south. Nixon did win the south in 1972, but he didn't need it. If the entire south voted for McGovern, Nixon would have still won the election. McGovern was such a bad candidate that he only carried Minnesota and the District of Columbia. The Party Switch, which supposedly happened in the 1960's didn't happen either. The south voted reliably Democrat until 1993-4. Do the research, I have. The south switched to Republican not because of racism. The south switched to Republican over the Second Amendment after the assault weapons bill in 1993-4. I watched the State of the Union Address with Bill Clinton where he acknowledged that after the Democratic Party lost the House of Representatives for the first time in forty years. Mid-term election just after the 1994 Crime Bill (which Joe Biden helped to author and led to the mass incarceration of blacks) passed without a single Republican vote. The Crime Bill had an assault weapons ban in it that made the manufacture and sale of AR-15's and other so called assault weapons illegal for 10 years. Bill Clinton acknowledged that the brave representatives and senators gave up their seats to pass the historic crime bill. The racist crime bill, by the way. No, the party switch did not happen in the 60's, the democratic party is still the plantation party. Every major piece of legislation they have done "for" blacks in the last fifty years since the supposed party switch has done nothing except keep blacks in perpetual poverty. They are just Jim Crow laws in disguise. Do your own research, don't just parrot what the schills in the media have told you. Don't fall for it
