"Puleeeze. Stop trying to peddle the "parties switched" bullshittery. Be content to be the kind of retard who believes this bullshit but please, for the love of God, quit trying to convince normal people that racist democrats, the party that created the KKK to kill blacks and Republicans, somehow became the civil rights party and Republicans welcomed the people who had been killing them. Only full retard liberals believe your bullshit." I'm going to quote Wikipedia for you, and anyone else who might be interested: "Before 1860, the party supported limited government and state sovereignty while opposing a national bank and high tariffs. It split in two in 1860 over slavery and won the presidency only twice between 1860 and 1910. In the late 19th century, it continued to oppose high tariffs and had bitter internal debates on the gold standard. In the early 20th century, it supported progressive reforms and opposed imperialism, with Woodrow Wilson winning the White House in 1912 and 1916. Since Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal coalition after 1932, the Democratic Party has promoted a social liberal platform.[3][12] The New Deal attracted strong support for the party from recent European immigrants, many of whom were Catholics based in the cities, but caused a decline of the party's conservative pro-business wing.[13][14][15] Following the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the core bases of the two parties shifted, with the Southern states becoming more reliably Republican in presidential politics and the Northeastern states becoming more reliably Democratic." You see, "democrats" are a very broad category, that meant different things at different places and different times. Your thesis, "D party bad" leaves out the nuance. I'm not even here to defend Democrats, I'm here to defend nuance itself! The world is a colorful place, and it saddens me that so many people see it in black and white. I find it interesting that you honestly seem to believe that liberals = idiots. Can you tell me where Albert Einstein stood politically? 🤣 Or is that also fake news? I'll leave the ad hominem attacks for shallow thinkers :)
