What are you basing that claim on?


Ask yourself: How did the deep south vote in the electoral college back then? Then ask yourself how they vote today. It's pretty simple. I'll admit that it over generalizes by disregarding the specific issues faced by society at the time of their respective prevalence, but it's still a fact that, at least as states, the same one's voting republican today were voting democrat back in the day.

Not sure what your point is supposed to be. Are you stuck on the words Democrat and Republican? If it's not that but values..then nothing has changed. The democr5ats "back in the day" were the slave pushers...and today they still are. They just talk like they are on the side of the "downtrodden"..but do all they can to keep them down. They just want their votes. Just my opinion...others may feel differently.

And many voted democrat as recently as 1992...hell carter won the entire south in 1976

Lincoln's name did not appear on the ballot in ten southern states.
