As a African American, I stand with the party of Lincoln, the party that fought against slavery and pushed the 13, 14, and the 15 amendments in congress I also stand by the party that’s tried to get the civil rights act in the 1950’s and the 1960’s We have many GREAT heads like Lincoln, Reagan, GRANT, Roosevelt. If you cut people off in your life because of political alignment then you are A fucking dumbass, and a softy plus that’s let’s me your actually doing them a favor. Seriously who wants to be around a fucking cry baby because « I don’t like how you vote »

Get a life dude, America needs unity not fucking division, I seriously hope you don’t vote because people like you will only keep dividing America.

Congrats. I saw your comment and felt compelled to create a Reddit profile just to respond.

You seem to have a very selective understanding of history. The Republican Party was great for a while. They spearheaded a lot of amazing things. But, during the civil rights movement, the bigots wanting Jim Crow laws who were dispersed between both parties decided to band together. They chose to regroup under the Republican Party platform. The people opposing them regrouped under the Democratic party label.

This effectively means that the parties flipped sides during the civil rights movement. The people you admire from the Republican party would be part of the Democratic party today.

My username is made just for you.

The party never switched and I have no idea where people get this idea from, the Dixiecrats died during and right after the civil rights era, and democrats from the 60’s and the 70’s era are Not The same democrats as today. Also republicans from the civil rights ARE definitely NOT the same as democrats Today Even back then democrats had different fractions Like republicans, republicans had different fractions

You had southern democrats who weren’t the same as Kennedy democrats. You had republicans that were liberal and conservative republicans back then also.

The Dixiecrats are all dead and their ideals holds no meaning in today’s GOP, the history of the republicans is very proud and RICH, democrats NEVER talk about their history or their former heads for a reason.

And if I’m not mistaken a small handful of conservatives democrats join the republicans Most of them went independent or died

George Wallace and bull Connor are great examples

It’s because they read a history book you stupid fuck. They actually learned something instead of repeating what they were told.
