You made another logic error. You cannot "worship" someone you do not fully trust. You cannot even love someone you do not trust. 🖖 Live long and prosper
Wrong, wrong, wrong. It was the 50's, not the 60's. Utah is NOT the whitest state in the Union, its the most LDS state in the Union. And 5 years later we moved to California, the most brownest state in the Union. But it is only brown if you think that all Mexicans are brown, which they are not.
There was a party switch back in the 50's and 60's but contrary to the leftist history revisionist propaganda it had absolutely nothing to do with race.
This was the early stages of the cold war. When Brezhnev said he "would bury us". People started seeing where the Democrat Party was heading. Ayn Rand, who escaped the Soviet Union, saw it clear as day and wrote books about how America was turning socialist. The Democrats had much more in common with Josef Stalin than Thomas Jefferson. Even today, those who fled Cuba and came here, see that the Democrats wanted the same things as Castro. That's why there is a huge number of Cuban refugees and their descendants who are Republican.
You have to understand that people didn't build bomb shelters because of black people. Schools didn't do air raid drills because of black people.
This idea that the party switch was because of racism is absolute garbage. It's propaganda by the left to hide the racists who stayed in their party. Who decided that instead of lynching blacks they would exploit them and use them for votes.
It's the reason why Reagan became a Republican. My dad became a Republican back then also. That is why the people who left the Democrats became Republicans. And that really hasn't changed. Republicans and right leaning Libertarians who were once Democrats left because they oppose tyranny.
