Disclaimer: I am not a liberal, I am probably in the top 5-10% most conservative people on this website, but this has always bugged me a lot

Because the issue is not black and white.

Up until about 20 or 25 years ago, one of the whitest parts of Alabama was still a democrat stronghold.

Right, because the party of emancipation just decided to become racist one day.

How stupid are you?

Let me restate what I think you are trying to imply. You believe all democrats became republicans and all republicans switched to democrats at the same time or over the course of a very short period of time.

They have programmed you very well. I bet you think FDR was the greatest President because he passed the new deal and wanted to pack to the court. Sounds like the democrats stayed the same to me.

Republicans gained control of the Alabama House in 2010.

Dems have always been on the wrong side of this issue. “The switch” is a stupid myth.

The switch is a myth. Seriously. Think of how insane it would be for voters, who feel abandoned by the Democrat party as the Dem party started to push for greater freedoms for the blacks, to leave that party. To vote. For the party. That freed the slaves. To vote. For the party. That forced school integration via federal military intervention.

Abraham Lincoln started the Republican Party

Andrew Jackson started the democrat party (and Thomas Jefferson influenced it)

I will let you figure out the rest

Why do Democrats and liberals stupidly believe in the party switch lie?

The authoritarian shite, the segregation shite, the racist shite, the political violence shite that the Democrats are doing right now...are the exact same tactics the Democrats have always used.


I mean, frick.. either the party switch is bullshite or the Democrat party is literally cursed and turns everyone who switches over to it.. into raging authoritarian, pieces of shite.

Are the people who think the democrats have always been liberal from the south? We’re your ancestors liberals? It is odd how we are so much more conservative than all of our ancestors? Like the south just woke up one day and went from liberal to conservative

Prove when the party switched?

Dont forget the south didnt start voting republican consistently until W Bush, so mentioning a party switch before the year 2000 is just 100% false.

Democrat party is the same fricking party its always been except it uses welfare as slavery instead of working in the fields.

when did the switch happen


You're the one starting a thread insinuating a party switch at some point in time and how conservatives refuse to believe in the happening. Please provide me with factual evidence of the switch.

Period.

As the South became less racist, it became more Republican.
