Why Did the Democratic South Become Republican? | 5 Minute Video

[@calebberry5212]

I’m a white conservative from Florida, and so is my family. I was always raised on the basis of treating people the way I wanted to be treated. This is the golden rule of the Bible. Skin color means nothing to me, because it does not dictate a good or bad person. Actions do.

[@jacobmorales7920]

Martin Luther said, “judge me by the content of my character! Not by the color of my skin.” Can I get an amen!

[@nutterbutterman8609]

I think a big problem with radical liberals is that they see nothing but race and make everything about it. If they wish to be so progressive the color of someone’s skin shouldn’t matter at all right ? If they want everyone to be looked at equally why do they always identify people by which group they are classified as. I think it’s very hypocritical imo.

[@jacobmorales7920]

Nutterbutterman ooo!He’s preachin! Amen! 🙌

[@emilykeeling5873]

That is so hypocritical. Jesus was basically a radical liberal whose message was, "Just ignore and forgive what everybody else does to you---I'll sort it all out when I come back." Nobody is actually satisfied, happy, or secure living like that, and if Jesus were real, he would certainly not be a conservative or aligned with a conservative party.

[@jacobmorales7920]

Emily Keeling yeah, I see what your saying. If that’s what you think, than I can’t change your mind but, a big message from the Bible was free will. And as far as I’m concerned that’s what we have. That’s why you have choices you face every day. I’ve watched left sided videos and right sided videos. Cause I’d like to hear both sides of the conversation. I tend to get more hard evidence from the right. So i tend to lean more right. I’m not saying that the right hasn’t been wrong before. But currently at this point in history there is a lot more “open” diversity on the right. What I mean by that, is that you’ll see a black Women and a gay man having a conversation about how they were treated by the left when they said, “we are conservative”. Instead of debating with them they were neglected and told they weren’t black or they are hating themselves. When In fact the left is becoming a hive mind of like thinking people who tend to play the victim card and if you think differently your part of the problem. I could care less if your left, just lie less and stop manipulating people into this one mind. As for god, it seems like you don’t like him. And it makes sense. I know I use too. It’s cool though how changing your mindset really makes life great. You get more done, more productive. You make better choices. When you play victim you’ll be a victim,

Second, tech companies may be located in CA but that hardly makes them left. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have both worked with Trump during his presidency. Most large industries tend to be right-leaning due to greater tax breaks for the rich despite sticking the repercussions to the middle and lower classes. This is why we see more and more income disparity, the middle class paying the highest tax rates than any other income classification, and poverty in America at unprecedented rates. It's a good idea to research your opinions prior to putting them out there as fact. It's clear in this case that you're repeating something you think you've learned.

Reagan was horrible though and Georgia was one of the most most affected state. Reagan is very overrated like jfk. Under him crime was at a all time high, illegal weapons dealer, tripled the national debt like Obama, taxes the poor and cut taxes for the rich. His approval rating wasn’t even high when he was elected and the only reason he won the election in a land slide because half of the country didn’t even vote, he barely won the popular vote. He also started wars and takes to much credit for ending the Cold War when in reality the Soviet Union did it to itself. He also expanded the drug war which affected a lot of black Americans a lot who live in Georgia. More on Reagan: The damage he did to the welfare state was huge and the explicit demonization of the poor and oppressed in this country. It was Reagan who gave birth to the image of the Welfare Queen, a huge black woman and her countless, uncontrolled offspring riding their way to the food stamps office in style while she sells drugs on the side to keep herself rolling in dough. Never mind that Reagan knowingly and maliciously allowed the AIDS crisis to rampage throughout the gay community for years and only acted when Ryan White got it from a blood transfusion. The first time the AIDS crisis was even mentioned by Reagan, he laughed about it. You know, in certain circles, allowing a pandemic to go unchecked because it’s eliminating an undesired minority is consider a form of genocide. Never mind that stupid Reaganomics that was an unmitigated disaster that put us through multiple recessions and dangerously unbalanced the budget as he slashed taxes and ran military spending up to record levels, a tradition all of his Republican predecessors have followed. And who could forget the gem of it all, Trickle Down Economics? The Reagan Era took this crock of shit and made it the centerpiece of right wing economic ideology. The wealthy enjoy getting their taxes cut to less than nothing while wages stagnate, infrastructure crumbles, the quality of our schools flatlines, and inequality explodes across the nation. That’s ignoring all the palace intrigue, the collusion with terrorists to get elected, Iran-Contra, letting his wife run the game for the last couple of years while his addled mind began to fail, who herself was under the influence of an astrologer!

Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again." He was most definitely a racist, in the classic sense. As is Joe Biden's 'Unlike most black people, [Obama] is articulate." Democrats think very little of African Americans, and only care up to the point the African Americans support them.

Trump has now raised the deficit $896 Billion, with a forecast of breaking the trillion dollar mark by 2020. Republicans only care about deficit spending when a democrat is in office. The "small government conservative" is a joke. We have a DoD expenditure equaling the next 20 countries combined. The PATRIOT Act is the single greatest infringement on our rights in the past 100 years, and it was passed under a republican president (GWB) with unwavering support.

[@bforthigh1617]

It's surprising how many right-wingers there are that still don't know or deny the fact that the parties basically switched. There was a complete political realignment during the 1960s. Back in the day, white racist southerners overwhelmingly voted Democrat instead Republican. White racist southerners were outraged by the Civil Rights movement however and left the democrat party to join the Republican party. The seeds of the political realignment really started to get planted after WW2 when the democrats desegregated the army and included civil rights in the 1948 democratic platform. Shit like this enraged white southern democrats so much they defected to form the dixiecrats or states rights democrats. This shows how irrational and uncompromising racist people are since the democratic support for civil rights back then was tepid at best. Republican leaders noticed the dissatisfaction and saw it as a golden oppurtunity to increase political support among white voters in the South so they consciously tried to appeal to them with candidates like Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon was more effective in reaching voters because he appealed to racial fears without directly talking about race by using dog whistles like "the Silent Majority" or "Law and Order". Lee Atwater even admitted that the "Law&Order" is a dog whistle for anti minority sentiments. This electoral strategy was what became known as the Southern Strategy. Republicans still use coded racism in their rhetoric to this very day. Trump's "America First" is another example, but Trump is mainly just recycling Nixon's dog whistles. I should probably clarify wtf a dog whistle is for those who are unfamiliar. A dog whistle is a political term for words and phrases that are harmless sounding enough to the point where most non suspecting people think nothing of it while others who can read between the lines know that said phrases are low-key racist statement. Some modern examples of dog whistles that have gotten popular in the past five years are phrases like "All Lives Matter" and "It's okay to be white". Ok That second one isn't too subtle actually. While it's true the democrats in the south fought for slavery and founded the kkk, their racist great grandchildren vote for Republicans today. A modern kkk member would never vote for a democrat now. Saying shit like Republicans freed the slaves or Jefferson Davis was a Democrat doesn't prove a point. It just shows that you're ignorant of history and that you think the political dynamics of today are exactly the same as the ones 150 years ago. Although Abraham Lincoln did say racist shit in the 1960 presidential debates he was still the more liberal candidate back then. Some of the shit Lincoln said is actually surprising left leaning and sounded a lot like something Marx would say. Just look at this Lincoln quote bro. "As most good things are produced by labor, it follows that all such things ought to belong to those whose labor has produced them. But it has happened in all ages of the world that some have labored, and others, without labor, have enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor as nearly as possible is a worthy object of any good government," The first Republican president was a socialist and modern conservatives don't even know it lmao. Lincoln was even pen pals with Karl Marx. I'm not joking, you can look all this up if you don't believe me. Being against slavery is clearly the left wing position to have by the way. A lot of you might be more left leaning than you realize. No one should be able to profit off of human misery in that grotesque a manner. The Union army during the civil war was even led by an actual communist general. His name was August Willich! Willich plotted to kill Karl Marx for being too conservative. Willich publicly insulted Marx and challenged him to a duel, which Marx refused to fight. It's interesting to note that most confederate soldiers didn't even own slaves, the wealthy plantation owners did. Poor Southerners didn't benefit from slavery, but they hated black people so much that they fought and died for the right of rich people to own slaves, just so they can keep black people miserable. Bootlickers back then, bootlickers now. It's very much intentional that stuff about. Lincoln isn't common knowledge since the capitalist class shaped the education system and media. They clearly don't want to spread leftist messaging or acknowledge how a lot of revered historical figures were actually socialists or social democrats. Some of these figures include MLK, Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein, Helen Keller, Pablo Picasso, and George Orwell. This is why it is very important for everyone to do their own research and not take the word of people who benefit from the working class staying willfully ignorant. Don't believe everything PragerU tells you, they're funded by oil billionaires. Which is why they have videos advocating for the fossel fuel industry.

Harlan Rifkind the media that is owned by liberals tells us black folk that we never voted republican. They want to control our vote so they call republicans racist.

[@cordeg6724]

​@@harlanrifkind6925 that implies -- no, requires -- the presumption that only blacks can be non-racist, which is a pretty racist thing to say. the facts are that there were several migrations around the mid-20th century. the "Great Migration" actually resulted in a lot of blacks moving to Northern cities to escape Democratic Party segregationist policies in the South when they controlled it. A lot of Southern whites also migrated North during the Great Depression, seeking better economic conditions than existed in the South. Later, the New South brought rapid industrialization, which attracted many Northerners moving South to seek out the new manufacturing jobs in "right to work" environments, and the new spread of the use of A/C took the down-side out of Southern living. All of this migration is well-known to historians, and the affects of them are evident in census data at 10 year intervals. ultimately, the population of the South expanded so rapidly during the latter half of the 20th century that states often saw 2X and 3X growth in a very short time. this growth rate was far too rapid to be based on simple procreation. again, the demographics are well-established and (again) verifiable by using Census data. in fact, the overall effect is so obvious to "old time" Southerners that most Southern states share a common joke that when you run across someone actually claiming to be "native" to the county you are in, they say, "oh, YOU'RE the one!" -- the point being that natives are actually the minority in very many areas of the region. so, whatever one's OPINION might be on the subject of who the racists are or aren't, it is counter-factual to argue that the demographics of the South today are in any way similar to the demographics of the South in the bad old days of "Solid South" Democratic Party segregation. so, trying to say that because the South was widely racist when it was under Democratic Party rule (fact #1), and the Republicans are now majority in many of these states (fact #2), that the obvious conclusion is that the Democrats and Republicans "switched sides" with respect to racism. that's like saying that because the family that lived in your house before you was superstitious and your family is not superstitious, that YOU "switched sides" -- no; your house is simply populated by DIFFERENT PEOPLE now. one small demonstration of this difference is that in the "Solid South" days, the South was a region of virtually one-party states. many members of congress, the senate, state legislators, governors, mayors, police commissioners, sheriffs, etc. were elected with LITERALLY 100% of the vote -- that is, the winner of the Democratic Primary was elected in the General Election unopposed because of the utter lack of a Republican Party organization in the area (those pesky Democrats had spent decades lynching black AND white Republicans, dynamiting or burning down their homes or businesses, beating them, and other quaint forms of intimidation, the result of which was that blacks stopped voting under threat and Republican candidates stopped running since the "yellow dog" Democrats wouldn't vote for them so the Party ended up with no organization left there). today, in stark contrast, the Southern vote is only marginally Republican -- that is, most elections are roughly split, with only a minority of districts "true-blue" or "blood-red". South Carolina is pretty much the only Southern state where black voters could account for this roughly even split in the electorate: mostly it is just the case that the population is far more mixed in every way: urban and rural, conservative and liberal, Democratic and Republican. anyone who tries to draw conclusions about the present population by trying to map it back to a completely different population that lived in the South in the 1920s, or 1950s, or even 1980s is engaging in a fairly insipid game.

[@cordeg6724]

@@JustAworm82 take Census bureau data and correlate it with polling data on racial attitudes, data on actual racial incidents, and data on the complete lack of government power imposing racial distinctions -- it will be so clear that i'm sure you will grasp it if you are capable of facing facts. now, you can continue to believe that whatever racists are left in the population account for all the Republicans to be found, but you cannot seriously argue that (a) the Southern population today is made up of the same people that it was in 1964, or (b) that the South became less racist since 1964, or (c) that the South became more Republican in the 1980s and 1990s (although the South began to vote Republican for PRESIDENT earlier, it continued to vote overwhelmingly Democratic for the US House/Senate, Governors, state legislators, mayors, police commissioners, etc. for decades after 1964 -- often winning the latter offices with 100% of the vote).

That's not a coincidence. There are people actively trying to push socialist and communist ideologies onto young Americans, lying to them about everything being fair and free. That is a lie. You are too young to remember the atrocities that occurred when the USSR was still in power. I taught history for over 15 years and the textbooks changed significantly during that time. Every few years they gave us new books and more and more information was being left out of them. It became obvious after a while that they were pushing socialist propaganda under the guise of multiculturalism. Here's where the identity politics comes in play. They no longer want students to think critically and make decisions based on research and facts. They just want students to know the "correct" answers for their government issued standardized tests. The goal is to make us dependent on government so they can control us. They will separate us into categories based on certain criteria so when the government gains total power, like they have in places like China and North Korea, they can weed people out according to their social credit scores and certain identity categories they deem undesirable. It is truly frightening how so many young people are being brainwashed into believing that capitalism is somehow bad. Capitalism allows workers to keep the money they earn and control their own lives. Socialism slowly starts taking all of your choices away until the government controls everything. They use identity politics to convince us that we need them to intervene on our behalf by censoring unpopular ideas, banning opinions that some find offensive and restricting people from internet access.

WRONG. The republican party and the democratic party contained both conservatives and liberals prior to the 1960's. The Republican party was mainly centered around big business and enterprise, industry (especially the industrialized north). The Democratic party was mainly centered around labor (and southern agrarianism) and eventually progressivism after the great depression nearly destroyed the country. Both Democrats and republicans voted to pass civil rights legislation in congress, this is true. But guess what? Those were both liberal democrats in the north and liberal republicans in the north who voted for it. All of the conservative democrats in the south and conservative republicans in the country voted AGAINST IT. It doesn't make sense to frame this conversation around "democrat and republican". Simply think of it in terms of "conservative and liberal" and you get your answer. The south was dominated by southern conservative democrats. It's no wonder every single southern state flipped to the republican party under the "State's rights" Barry Goldwater ticket... then when Nixon employed the southern strategy with "states' rights and law and order" this repelled black people to the NEW progressive democratic party (which once also had southern conservative racist democrats, but they left after Goldwater). Please explain how I'm wrong?

This led many of these old Democrats to form their own party known as the Dixiecrats, the party of the old racist Southern Democrats. "Fact" #3: Richard Nixon only lost the Deep South because a third-party independent segregationist was running that year and stole some of the racist vote. The Democratic candidate won ZERO Southern states that year.

It is for some people and hopefully it'll eventually stop being a factor for people. Also cause I'm sure you're wondering at this point. I'm white as hell.

[@johnweber4577]

There is an impulse to trace political evolution backward from now rather than to start at the beginning. That’s where you get notions like Conservatism being innately about small government and Liberalism a big one. The associations were actually reversed at the Founding. The Hamiltonian Federalists stood for a kind of Classical Conservatism which saw a strong national government as essential to preserving order. The Jeffersonian Republicans espoused a hardline Classical Liberalism which perceived it to be an oppressive tool of the elite. As the American Revolution was informed by liberal teachings, they influenced both parties. A consensus was reached on recognizing natural rights, constraining government power, abandoning hereditary titles of nobility as well as the separation of church and state. The Jeffersonians championed the liberal ideals of laissez-faire, free trade, open immigration and extending political suffrage to the common man. The Hamiltonians, however, maintained conservative attitudes on central banking, protectionism, restricting immigration and property requirements for the vote. A nationalist versus internationalist dynamic emerged and shaped a lot of their disagreements. Perhaps the greatest came about when looming conflict surrounding England and France aggravated tensions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the federal over state position was used for conservative purposes when Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Acts. Efforts to thwart radicalism that involved putting foreigners under scrutiny. And the anti-federalist stance, albeit complicated by later disputes, was applied for liberal ends when Republicans retaliated with the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. Decrying them as violations of civil liberties, they asserted that the states could declare federal laws that they deemed unconstitutional void. A big deal in an age of centralized empires. Though the sectional question of slavery shook up the political landscape in a number of ways, those concepts carried on in the end as the guiding orthodoxies for the modern Republican and Democratic leaderships. But the distinction has been obscured in memory. Take two favorites of limited government types who came out of the competing intellectual traditions. The Republican Calvin Coolidge from Hamiltonianism and Democrat Grover Cleveland from Jeffersonianism. Cleveland vetoed an immigration bill with barriers that included a literacy test in 1897 while Coolidge signed into law such a proposal in 1924. Cleveland ran on reducing tariffs while Coolidge kept tariff rates high. Cleveland opposed central banking while Coolidge let the Federal Reserve be. Cleveland set in motion the landmark antitrust lawsuit known as the Sugar Trust Case while Coolidge ended a long run of administrations that launched many of them. Cleveland put into place the Interstate Commerce Commission to protect consumers by overseeing trade while Coolidge appointed to it and the subsequent Federal Trade Commission hands-off commissioners to facilitate economic growth. It is their shared commitment to individualism, low taxes, sound money, balanced budgets and fiscal restraint that gets them the overlapping fans. Increasing demand for government intervention ignited during the Progressive Era blurred the line between the old-fashioned conservatives and liberals weary of it. Their ideas, regardless of the historical rivalry, now tend to get lumped together in the conservative category and pit against Progressivism. Usually under the name Liberalism and also treated as one thing, despite the initial division there as well. The Republican Theodore Roosevelt and Democrat Woodrow Wilson were the first progressive presidents from their parties. Though each described himself with the pair of labels, it was their successors who coined the terms Progressive Conservatism and Progressive Liberalism for their ideologies. Both differed from their classical counterparts with regard to the scope of government, but there were parallels in how they contrasted each other. Comparing Roosevelt and Wilson helps to differentiate between them. Roosevelt akin to Coolidge signed into law measures to curb immigration which featured a literacy test in 1903 while Wilson like Cleveland before him vetoed legislation of that sort in 1917. As expressed in his 1902 State of the Union Address, Roosevelt advocated protectionism. On the other hand, Wilson pursued free trade. A goal propounded in his Fourteen Points. Both believed in regulating business. But while dubbed the Trustbuster, Roosevelt was not hostile to monopolies on principle and approved of what he called good trusts like U.S. Steel. Wilson pushed for the Clayton Antitrust Act in a bid to level the playing field by breaking them all up. The argument between nationalism and internationalism gained a new dimension with their foreign policy opinions. TR affirmed the superiority of Anglo-Saxon societies and, as displayed by his Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, their duty to police the world. Conversely, Wilson claimed that no nation was fit to sit in judgement of another. His ultimate aim was global governance through the League of Nations. Progressive Conservatism much like Classical Liberalism is largely overlooked in these discussions, but observing it can illuminate trends that go back to the First Party System. Conditions brought about by the Second Industrial Revolution prompted the re-examination of accepted conservative and liberal precepts. Members of both parties became convinced that government action was needed to remedy the escalating unrest. Especially after the rise of the Populist Movement which took up for agrarian and industrial labor interests. Represented at first by the People’s Party until rallying around the Democrat William Jennings Bryan to fight the rich and aid the poor. Republicans such as Roosevelt concluded that reform was necessary to prevent America from tearing itself apart. The crucial difference was that Bryan’s party nominated him three times as their presidential candidate while Roosevelt’s made him vice president because it was thought to be a place he couldn’t rock the boat. Only taking the office by chance after William McKinley was assassinated and the bosses saw to it that the nomination went to the moderate William Howard Taft instead when he attempted to go for a third term. Admirers of Cleveland left to form the National Democratic Party when Bryan was nominated in 1896. Likewise, Roosevelt and his followers walked out to set up the original Progressive Party after Taft got the nomination in 1912. Each split benefitted the other major party and they quickly declined. Internal debates persisted, but precedents were set. Though Bryan never won, Wilson acted on several of his causes. And Franklin Roosevelt himself backed Wilson over Teddy in 1912. He built on his prototypical administrative state with the New Deal. An agenda of then unmatched government activism. In keeping with Warren G. Harding and Coolidge’s Post-Wilson Return to Normalcy, Republicans led by Robert Taft worked at rolling it back. A truce came with the election of Dwight Eisenhower. His philosophy of Dynamic Conservatism made peace with the New Deal zeitgeist, but he sought to rein in any excesses. The further turns within the Democratic and Republican parties are clear-cut. The New Left and New Right elevated by George McGovern and Ronald Reagan both challenged the popular assumptions of their day. Hammering away at social issues and government control. The Third Way and Compassionate Conservatism advanced by Bill Clinton and George W. Bush both moved toward the center. Reflecting upon the free market and social justice. Each establishment now faces a populist wave. Democratic Socialism and National Conservatism are embraced by those that Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have emboldened. Fed up with the ruling class, both aspire to shift the balance of power. Granted, each from early on contained camps that spanned the political spectrum. Of note are those epitomized by the Democrat John C. Calhoun and Republican Horace Greeley. Calhoun defended the status quo for Southern planters while Greeley promoted Utopian Socialism. The two served as key party figures up until they and other likeminded dissenters engaged in their first significant breakaways. Calhoun created the Nullifier Party after a bitter falling-out with Andrew Jackson due to him siding with the federal government in a mounting crisis with South Carolina over the Tariff of 1828. Greeley ran as the Liberal Republican Party nominee against Ulysses S. Grant in the election of 1872 in protest of scandals in his administration tied to big business. But not even allying with their partisan adversaries, the Nullifiers with the Whigs and the Liberal Republicans with the Democrats, was enough to defeat Jackson or Grant. The bulk of their supporters soon dispersed among them both. The cracks lingered between right-leaning Republican and left-leaning Democratic national parties and the left-wing Republicans and right-wing Democrats that they avoided agitating with considerable sway at the state level. The La Follette Wisconsin Republican and Talmadge Georgia Democratic machines were examples which came to blows with the Coolidge Campaign and FDR Administration. More infrastructure development coupled with gradual modernization led to the country coalescing economically and culturally. That resulted in Republicans and Democrats amassing vast majorities of conservatives and liberals. Broadly speaking, along small town and big city lines. Both have indeed changed with time, quarreled over details and housed clashing factions. But their values remain fundamentally rooted in Hamiltonian pro-business conservative nationalism and Jeffersonian anti-elitist liberal internationalism.

Our state senator and many house members switched over to the Republican Party not too long after Obama got elected. By 2010, Republicans took over the house here. And it wasn’t because we had all new members. It was because most of them switched parties, and those we’re conservative democrats.

Roosevelt was something of a turning point. During his first term, Hoover had tried to ingratiate himself with southern segregationists, and his administration had failed to implement economic policies to help African Americans laid low by the Great Depression. Still, Hoover received between two-thirds and three-quarters of the black vote in northern urban wards.27 Most black voters sided with Republicans less out of loyalty than because they were loath to support a candidate whose Democratic Party had zealously suppressed their political rights in the South. African Americans mistrusted FDR because of his party affiliation, his evasiveness about race in the campaign, and his choice of a running mate, House Speaker John Nance Garner of Texas.28”
