The Mythical Party Switch: When was that?

The example I’ve never heard anyone be able explain away is RvW. 6-3 decision w Dems going 1-2 against. Rs going 5-1 for.

It’ll be a cold day in hell before any modern SC votes like that on the abortion issue. I’d call that a switch in ideologies if I’ve ever seen one....

That's damn sure what these racist mf Democrats were calling grown arse black men at the time but remind me, when was it these racist MFs were supposed to be Republicans.... Just trying to know my histree...

Go on YouTube and search for D’Souza’s explanation, it’s pretty convincing and a good listen

I’d say 1964 is when many white southern Dems switched. This has nothing to do with the current parties though. That generation of racists is gone.

‘90s-early 2000s we saw the switch in LA

Louisiana voted Clinton x2, had mostly dem governors, and had 2 dem senators up to 2002

Problem is a lot of the Rs in the state were Ds 20 years ago.

You would be wrong!

There was only one Senator, yes only ONE, who switched from Democrat to Republican from 1964 to 1984.

Strom Thurman. There were no house members.

The Governors in the South didn't switch parties either.

IOW all of the racist Jim Crowe law passing, lynching, KKK members stay/stayed Democrats until the day they die or died.


The South didn't change from Democrat to Republican over Race, the switch was over religion, and the always evil Democrats no longer even pretending to be moral.

It allegedly happened due to Nixon’s “southern strategy” where he used racist dog whistles to rally the racist wypipo under GOP’s big tent.

That is the Democrats lie.

The So-called Southern Strategy happened during Nixon's second term.

Nixon actually won everywhere in 1972. 520 to 17

The Democrats have used a couple memos basically penned to racist Blue Dog Democrats to support Nixon.
The thing is ALL Democrats were racist and always have been.

Roe v. Wade was 7-2 with Whizzer and Rehnquist dissenting.

Burger, Blackmun, Powell and Rehnquist had been appointed by Nixon.

Douglas was a holdover from FDR. Brennan and Stewart were Ike picks, White was the sole pick from JFK in 1973, and Marshall was LBJ.

So, by my count, that court was 6-3 (R-D), with 5 Rs and 2 Ds voting for this made up, mythical "right" to an abortion (that they literally created out of whole cloth piggybacking on a previous decision where they made up a mythical, "right" to privacy) and 1 D and 1 R voting against the tiniest, most adorable little genocide you ever saw.

Now, it should be noted that, although they were Republican picks, Blackmun and Brennan were as liberal and left-leaning as is possible to contemplate for the times in which they lived. The reverse never seems to happen to Democrat picks. I wonder why that is?

Sick of this nonsense. Both parties have flip flopped on issues since their inception, and I don’t recall race relations ever being at the top of either party’s platform.

It kind of does or has if one was to look back at Justices like Hugo Black.

He was a staunch textual/originalist.
He was also a huge leftist, New Deal, Progressive Democrat.

Given that the above two statements that are 100% accurate, how can they be logically reconciled?

From the 1930s to basically the late 70s the left mainly controlled Congress. For most of that time span they held super majorities.
They were able to get their way through legislation.

Since the 1970s forward there hasn't been a time where the left has held a super majorities and have had to fight in the courts with activist judges.

When democrats decided they needed the black vote
