The Big Switch

DwayneWayne · Mar 11, 2020

This graphic represents every Democratic Congress member from 1860-2000, every racist group leader such as the KKK, Mayors, governors ect that were Jim crow and all who voted nay on civil rights. 1600 or so blue squares.

The red are the ones that switched from Democrat to Republican.

Most Democrats are good people imo and hopefully this graphic clears up the myth that is "the big switch".

Is this were you pretend racism doesn't exist and that Democrats didn't become the party that legislates for everyone in our country and not just the Wealthy White Heterosexual Male only like the Republicans? That the Southern Strategy didn't occur?

I heard a Republican black man making this argument the other day on CSPAN, right before he started spouting some pretty racist shit against brown people. It seems the Republicans/Russians are trying to reach out to snowball all the Racist males with their disinformation campaign.

Oh and for your stupid question, how many Republicans decided they couldn't win in the Trump Cult party and became Democrats? Jeff Flake and the others, no they retired from public office.

I did not ask a question. Since you seem to lack basic literacy I did provide a factual infographic.

It wasn't there when I was posting. You should make one with all the people in the Democratic party that didn't run again, or were not in office in the couple years following 1960's. Because it was at that point that the civil rights era changed the political parties, before that point everything was in control of the Wealthy White Heterosexual Males. Afterwards they had to figure out how to maintain power for as long as possible, and that was when they (slowly) retreated to the Republican party. While simultaniously the Democratic party wrestled their seats in favor of people who would legislate for the entire country.

Yeah I was right, it is funny how you pick up on the propaganda that the Right Wing/Russians wants to get spread.

Like somehow we can just pretend that the 70's didn't change our entire power dynamic in politics.

Voter Turnout Rises in the South

Although the Voting Rights Act passed, state and local enforcement of the law was weak, and it often was ignored outright, mainly in the South and in areas where the proportion of blacks in the population was high and their vote threatened the political status quo.

Still, the Voting Rights Act gave African-American voters the legal means to challenge voting restrictions and vastly improved voter turnout. In Mississippi alone, voter turnout among blacks increased from 6 percent in 1964 to 59 percent in 1969.

The 70s and 80s saw the south swing Rupublican because industry boomed and the economic message resonated. So as the south became less racist over time, and racist Jim crow and congressional Democrats did not switch parties, the south started voting Republican when industry started booming.

Now tell me what the political status quo was in the south in 1965, your article conveniently glossed it.

So the party that was once lynched by Democrats is very prevalent in The South now. Sometimes you make a good point.

Unclebaldrick · Mar 11, 2020

I love that these imbeciles think they have a winning tactic in this.

Hilarious.

You lynch yourself every time you make a statement. No need for anyone else to do it.
