Did the South switch from Democrat to Republican?

It seems a constantly revisited topic...since the repubnuts here want to claim that since the KKK in 1865 was in the South and the South was majority democrat, the democratic part 150 years later is still the party of racism.

The democrats or progressives or liberals here claim that as of 1964 there was a shift in the Southern states from the democratic party to the republican party...It seems republicans are frequently ignoring the Dixiecrat attempt to split the party between liberals and conservatives...with the conservatives largely being anti-integration, pro-segregation and pretty much a bunch of racists...

The evidence is this...

In 1964 there were 11 southern republicans in the House and Senate...
The original House version:


  • Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
  • Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
  • Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
  • Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)
The Senate version:

Notice that there was 1 southern republican in the Senate in 1964 and only 10 in the House.

And Now...

There are 6 republicans from Alabama, 4 from Arkansas, 13 from Florida, 9 from Georgia, 3 from Kansas, 5 from Kentucky, 5 from Lousiana.....(100 from the former confederate states)

Even you must get the picture by now.

And it looks like 24 senators

So the KKK is now aligned with the republican party and any claim otherwise is simply whistling past the graveyard.

On another thread the lovely Nutty Cortez was bemoaning the fact that she rarely sees me condemn democrats. Like many of the low IQ righties here she is obsessed with me and appears to be stalking me around the forum.

Thank you fellow bipartisan and impartial poster @middleview for making this post because it gives me a chance to condemn some Democratic party scummery.

HEY NUTTY - THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!

PNWest condemns the southern democrats of the 1960s. These conservatives were pure scum. Thankfully these deplorable and despicable racist POS left the Democrat party.

Democrats would like to think that the racists in their party became Republican.

Racism is still blazingly evident in the Democrat Party now. You can't just pretend your bad people left. Robert KKK Byrd was a Democrat until the day he died.

The democrats of the late 1800s and early half of the 1900s were indeed scum...The lynchings and beatings at the hands of elected officials and racist groups are indefensible.

The transformation from 1964 forward is obvious and undeniable.

But he quit the KKK in the 1950s.

Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms were republicans till the day they died.

If the racists of the South didn't become republicans then how is it that the south has elected so many republicans? Where did all those racists go?

Duh!
There are/ were racists on both sides.

George Wallace was a Democrat until the day he died as was LBJ. Both racists.

Republicans would like to think that the democratic party is still the party of the KKK...but the facts show that to be false. The KKK robed participants in Charlottesville were taking part in the Unite the Right rally. The KKK certainly would not support the party that elected Barack Obama and the current makeup of Congress shows a remarkable republican turnout in the formerly racist south.

Add to that the shift of African American voters to the democratic party after 1964....

Pay no mind to the subsidized filth. Democrats have been “scum” through the ages. Butchers of babies and men alike, from slavery, through Tammany Hall, through lynchings, through Jim Crow, the Chicago Daley machine, mass opposition to the Civil Rights Act, and through the very present iteration of slavery to entitlement programs supplanting fatherhood and family. These deranged infanticidal butchers now seek to somehow conceal their genocidal heritage by offloading guilt to “the other”.

These are miserable folks, incapable of remorse.

As always, they simply mow thru and attack.

Wallace ran for president as a democrat and got 13% of the vote...all in Southern states.

Has it occurred to you that he was Governor of Alabama...

from 1987 to now the republicans have held the governor's job for 22 years.

Reread my top post...how does this refute the fact that the racist south, once predominantly democat is now majority republican?

Lee taught your kind well.

You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger."

Luckily all that matters is a congressman's vote. What did they vote for and against?

Nothing else matters. You can do all the tweeting, politicking, and poor behavior you want. All that matters is your vote.

There are a few racists on both sides of the aisle. They don't stop anyone from voting for that party. Its the issues and the economy that matter to all but the fringe blind hacks on both sides.

As I stated in the top post...right wingers here consistently try to make the case that since the KKK originated in the South and the South was dominated by democrats that the democratic party, 150 years later, is the same one from back then. That is a false assumption.

Translation: I got my ass handed to me in the other thread when I couldn't back up my claim. Time to regroup and do a tap dance

Evidence that you are losing = your inability actually address one single point in my post.
No need to. I agree the South went Republican. Now where's that list of Democrats who reregistered as Republicans?
