Is that right?


🌐 Before the Shift (19th–early 20th century)

  • Democrats: Dominated the South, defended segregation, supported Jim Crow laws, and opposed civil rights for Black Americans.
  • Republicans: Party of Lincoln and abolition, strong in the North, associated with Reconstruction and protecting Black voting rights (at least in the 19th century).

⚡ The Shift in Motion

  1. New Deal Era (1930s–1940s):
    • Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Democratic New Deal coalition attracted working-class voters, immigrants, and some Black Americans (especially in the North) by offering economic relief and jobs.
    • But Southern Democrats (“Dixiecrats”) still clung to segregation.
  2. Civil Rights Era (1940s–1960s):
    • Presidents like Harry Truman (desegregated the military in 1948) and John F. Kennedy/Lyndon B. Johnson (Civil Rights Act of 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965) tied the Democratic Party to civil rights.
    • Many white Southern Democrats opposed this and began drifting away.
  3. Southern Strategy (1960s–1980s):
    • Republicans, starting with Richard Nixon, actively courted disaffected white Southern conservatives using states’ rights rhetoric, law-and-order themes, and opposition to busing/desegregation.
    • Over time, the South shifted from a Democratic stronghold to a Republican one.

✅ After the Shift (late 20th century → today)

  • Democrats: Became the party of civil rights, racial minorities, urban voters, liberals, and progressives.
  • Republicans: Became dominant in the South, aligned with white conservatives, evangelical Christians, and free-market policies.

And I want to think that you are smarter than you lead on. We can't always get what we want, so it is what it is at the end of the day.

So you are willing to listen while understanding that like me or anyone else, you can have biases created by the systems of domination that structure our thoughts and education ?

If so then yes. It was ableist. And it's ok. Now you know we must avoid to do it.

Friendly reminder that Biden called the wife of the Firefighter who died during Trump's shooting.

She didn't want to talk to Biden, because she was MAGA.

It's a big cult, and only fucking crazy people are in it.

JD Vance travelling to Utah over the 9/11 Memorial tells me everything I need to know. What a joke.

Don't be selective. Kamala and Biden never reached out for the Gold Star Soliders. Tit for Tat.

Ok then we can work with that.

Democratic party went from a party that was against black people to be free to a party where they believe black people are inferior and needs special rights?

And they are also the ones always increasing or preaching to an increase in minimal wage which is a well know anti-black law.

Going by that logic, paraphrasing a book or what someone else said somewhere doesn't really count either, which is dumb. AI just analyzes data and produces a synthesis. I can't use a summary in an argument now?

Lmao, so using your own head and carefully choosing a book passage is the same as asking ChatGPT to do it for you. Brainrot.
