If you knew anything about the genesis of the democrat party from giving into the Dixicrats to moving on to supporting civil rights ... it would simply amaze you.
The Republicans tired of losing in the South actively recruited the Dixiecrat's to switch parties because the Democrat party was in fact switching to supporting civil rights. This active recruitment was known as "The Southern Strategy."
As we all know (cept you ) the Southern Republicans and their new found turn ( thankfully) coat .. racist democrats now voting and supporting the racism of their new found alliance.
The Southern Strategy worked getting Richard Nixon elected when LBJ refused to run after his lie about the Gulf of Tonkin. The Southern Strategy worked getting Reagan elected off the votes of the ignorant racist Southern Baptist Church.
Had the democrat party not separate from the Dixiecrats the civil rights movement would have been put on hold until and Nixon and Reagan never would have been elected.
That's the price democrats and Americans in general paid to undo the wrongs and get civil rights legislation passed .. And the crazy Southern Baptist are still in the background running the show. But a new day may be coming when a equally crazy religion may take control of American politics for the next 50 years ... Yeppers that would be the Mormons ... with their brand of racism.
