re: Why do republicans/conservatives have such a hard time admitting to the party switch

A conservative democrat in 2021 is a walking contradiction...

Do you believe registered democrats voted for Trump?

Do you believe registered republicans voted for Biden?

Your brain is having a hard time today.

I don’t give a frick about party registration... I am talking about what people actually are. Most people will give you a solid answer whether they are republicans or democrats if you ask them. If they follow politics that is. Why are you bringing up party registration? Do you think I care who is signed up for what party? You can look at simple statistics and conclude that the south is way more conservative and republican than liberal and democrat and way more conservative than the north. This has been the case throughout our entire nations history. It all goes back to who settled this land. The north was settled by puritans and Quakers and the south was settled by sons of British royalty (and english/Scottish borderlanders that are genetically anti government). The south was always destined to be more conservative

Imo, the party switch was an ingenious strategy.. on the university and media levels, they convinced millions of idiots that the histories of the two parties should be switched. It muddied the waters.

Because the Democrat party is a fricking abomination. They were against the emancipation proclamation. They were against black people voting. They were against women voting. The Democrats gave us jim crow laws for christ's sake.

While the party switch myth is a good strategy..it's insulting. In this modern era , Democrats are leading the charge on destroying offensive history.. but they've the nerve to continue to proudly stand under the 'Democrat' banner.

It doesn’t matter what the democrat party wants. The democrat party listens to whoever votes for them. The south used to vote for them, and now the north does. Black southerners used to vote republican while white southerners used to vote democrat and now it is the complete opposite. This is obviously not a coincidence. It’s not because we suddenly woke up and decided to go against our families politics. We are just as conservative as our ancestors. The parties switched ideologies. Anybody reading this should immediately be able to think of an older family member that was always democrat and in their older age were forced to switch to republican. Unless this site is just filled with carpetbaggers

I hate LBJ more than anybody on this board but there is no evidence he ever even said that. I would like to believe he did though cause it makes him look worse.

I’m not a democrat so I can’t answer that and quite frankly I don’t care. My point is that if any of us were alive in the 1800s we would not be republicans. That is all really

I kinda don't care right now. More important things to worry about.

The people who believe in individual freedoms, personal responsibility, and have a strong background in religious liberties wouldn't be for Lincoln? What?

You’re conflating the natural evolution of political platforms with the Southern Strategy.

Going forward may want to do less speaking on this subject and more learning.
