    May the South Rise Again...

    ...Starting with Virginia.

    Don't give up your right to self-preservation, Virginians!

    If you support gun grab, you are part of the problem. You are rectal cancer.

    Although I do agree with you, I have to ask if you’re the guy with Punisher skulls on all of your chit?

    Edit: not a south brah, I’m specifically referring to guns statement.

    I grew up in the Deep South, and I used to hear that phrase all the time. Usually it came from people wanting to bring back Jim Crow or slavery.

    Not a fan of either, if you want to know.

    Of course not, but that would be the outcome by allowing gun grabbing.

    Then you are aware that Jim Crow was supported largely by democrats. The same commies who want to disarm and enslave us all.

    Not the same, NG. You know as well as I do that those southern democrats all ran to the Republican party after the passage of the Civil Rights act, and they now form the GOP's deep south deep red deep racist base.

    You DO know that. Even if you deny it.

    Of course I’m aware of this. And I will not deny it.

    I’m neither a dem nor a rep. Both are the different wings of the same vulture. Both worship different flavors of the same tyranny. Both have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity.

    Big G, there is only one option and it comes from my heart.

    The South needs a Goat Utopia where goats and humans roam free. Some people might call it a cult, just because the uniform is a white flowing toga, but let them say whatever they want.

    It's our only chance at true freedom.

    With the exception of Strom Thurmond, you generally didn't have politicians switching parties from Democrat to Republican. Usually what you had was new candidates being elected who were from the other party.

    The Southern Democrats who left the party generally left for third party movements like when George Wallace ran on the American Independent Party ticket (although he still ran on the Democrat ticket in some states). You still had some old Southern Democrats even until recent times like Robert Byrd high ranking within the Democratic Party (he was President pro tempore of the Senate until his death in 2010).

    Yes and the number of elected officials isn’t the point of his post. The Southern Strategy of the 64 and 68 elections successfully pulled many white, conservative, Southern Democrats voters into the Republican Party and helped push the party further to the right. It turned the "Solid South" from solid blue to solid red within 8 years and is largely the foundational reason for the modern political platforms of both parties.


    ETA:


    Just an add on to your point of the number of actual politicians switching parties that Kevin Kruse, a professor of US history at Princeton, has done some pretty great public history explaining on.

    https://mobile.twitter.com/kevinmkru...tm_name=iossmf



    To get a little into the weeds of what Kruse has written, the complication is that for the most part prominent conservative Southern Democrats in Congress in the 1960s did not switch to the GOP, mostly because they did not want to lose the perks that came with their seniority (the major exception being Strom Thurmond who negotiated with the GOP to keep his seniority).

    BUT, conservative Congressional/Gubernatorial Southern Democrats in the 1960s and 1970s did encourage their political mentees to switch parties, because issues of seniority status were not really in play for up-and-coming politicians. So a notable example of this would be Trent Lott, who worked for conservative House Democrat William Colmer, and who was endorsed by Colmer upon the latter's retirement and won his seat, but ran as a Republican.

    So if you look at sitting members of Congress in the 1960s and 1970s, correct, you do not see many defections from the Democratic to Republican Parties. But as Kruse points out, you need to look at the larger political networks, especially at the state and local level, where the approved replacements for retiring conservative Democrats were protegees encouraged to switch or join the Republican party.

    You're a confusing dude to figure out, NG.

    Sometimes I think: "I could totally grab a beer with this guy and shoot the $hit".

    other times I'm like: "whoa... this dude's lid is screwed on a bit too tight and I'm glad there's a lot of interweb tubes between us".

    just sayin'.
