For those out of the loop, the parties largely switched when LBJ a Democrat signed the Civil Rights Act into law. All of the Jim Crow south, which had been run by the Democrats that caused the Civil War, Switched to the Republican Party, because of their racist beliefs.
Not only that, the Republican Party specifically tried to win the racist vote with the Southern Strategy rather than just let them go unrepresented and die out as a political bloc.
This is one of those things that will elicit foaming of the mouth from tankies but I’ve never quite figured out why. I suspect it may be that they have their own special meaning with the words liberal and conservative.
No it wont lol, I’m a tankie and I wrote it. The word Liberal and Conservative do not have a special meaning to tankies, they just realize that Democrats and Republicans are both Neoliberal at heart and exist to protect the horde’s of wealth accumulated by the owning class. The Democrats are just less sociopathic about it.

I somehow keep getting bamboozled into learning about US history or politics while I sit on the toilet and I don’t know how to feel about it.
