Did the South switch from Democrat to Republican?

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.

Obviously that is just a political thing that partisan hacks do. There are racists on both sides and they are very few of them. But at the end of the day it is a free country. People can actually be racist if they want. But there is no worse thing a person can do to another than call them racist because of politics or their political views. It is very childish to do so. It will also get you temp banned from PJ if you call another user racist.

Again, you Democrats were slave importers and butchers in the North as well...for a couple of hundred years. Malfeasance and fraud from NYC to Chicago and beyond...

...but we all understand your need to avoid such untidy truths (you are a paid DNC poster just like Bugsy).

Where have I called another poster a racist?

Again...I'm addressing the very frequent attempt by right wingers to associate the democrats here with the KKK because in 1865 it was likely that the KKK was made up of a lot of democrats.

Now, over 100 years later, the fact is that the racist south is primarily republican.

Sorry you missed the point.

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:

Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)

Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)

Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)

Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964#Vote_totals

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.

Much of the south did switch, but the Democrats kept all the Klanners (the below picture is from 1984, btw):

No. He was the top REPUBLICAN political strategist from Nixon to Bush Sr. He was the architect of the Southern Strategy meant to appeal to the racist that felt the Democratic Party had deserted by passing civil rights. He was the guy who set up Gary Hart with the adultery charge that ruined his political career. He was behind the Willie Horton ad against Dukakis, as the Bush Sr. campaign chairman. He was the man who took on Karl Rove on as his protege and taught Rove the tricks of the trade. Does the McCain's black out of wedlock child story ring a bell ? He was the senior political consultant for the firm that Stone and Manafort ran. And on top of all he was also for a time the RNC chairman.

He is the man who created the modern Republican party.

So now you know who Lee Atwater was and how the GOP became the nigger, nigger, nigger party of deplorables.

Duh!
There are/ were racists on both sides.

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

Libs avoid Fordham and the delegate in Maryland just posted of and post how partisan they are

Dimwingers still trying to deny they are the party of racists.

How cute.

No need to. I agree the South went Republican. Now where's that list of Democrats who reregistered as Republicans?

Find the list of its members the KKK keeps and you likely see them.

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....

"African-American voters" how many of today's blacks have been to Africa? They're either Americans or not and LBJ said "he'd have them n's voting democrat for next 200 years" and LBJ was the biggest racist to ever be POTUS and his Gulf Of Tonkin lie cost 58,479 lives in Vietnam and IMO more than that since 1975.

It in the same place with Trump's list of illegal immigrant voters from the 2016 election.

over 60,000 illegals voted in Texas, just think what the number would be in Cali & NY and I'd guess total would be 2.9million

Your thought that I surrendered is delusional.

You accept that the south turned republican after 1964. If the majority democrats didn't re-register as republicans, how did that happen? Sudden migration of northern republicans to the south? Feel free to prove that.

Meanwhile, clearly the racist south has gone republican...even you say so.

If you wish to prove me wrong...how about you get a voter registration list from 1964 for the southern states and compare it to a 2016 voter registration list....

I'll wait here.
