    I had two history teachers that were active in their parties. The democrat preached the parties switched. The republican showed how they never changed. It’s a myth. Yet the democrats want to white wash history.

      …what are you doing, Winter? We’ve been over this. I have the receipts to prove to you using your source that the parties switched.

      It’s really weird how y’all just don’t face facts…

        I’d love to see those receipts. Do they include the grand wizard robert byrd lifelong racists Democrat who served until 2010? How about segregationist joe biden?

        Did you miss the wall of democrats that were against the civil rights act of 1964, they faithfully represented their party into the 80s 90s and 2000s. The only thing that could stop them was old age.

          Here they are!

          We do discuss that the transition took time.

          The fact of the matter is that the parties switched. That it took time is not the issue. You and Winter are insisting that the switch never happened, which is 100% false.

            That’s not much of a receipt.

            You showed a list of 13 reps and senators that switched from Democrat to Republican but only 1 voted against the civil rights act. You provided no evidence as to why they switched or that they are racists. The rest of the racists democrats (over 60) that voted against civil rights act stayed democrats their whole life.

            The grand wizard Robert Byrd represented democrats until his death in 2010. If a devout leader of the Klan is comfortable as a democrat his whole life the racists democrat ideology never left.

              That is the whole argument of the switched party myth that is was done out of racism.

              The article says the parties evolved and changed but there was never a switch over racism. Democrats are still racist.
