Why? It made the deep blue south into a red block. Democrats turned Republican. So prior to that, the parties were radically different than their current incarnations.

No it didn't. This "The South is a racist place and the GOP just plays to racists and that's the only reason why the South votes for them" is a lazy, dishonest trope that's mile beneath a guy like you.

You don't think that the democrats' insistence on a "Global order first, US last" doesn't bother a lot of people?
That the dems' embrace of more and more federal power just might influence people to vote Republican?

You *really* think the democrats' core values of open borders, criminals' rights over citizens, anti-2A, anti-free speech and more taxes resonates down South?

As for the D party swinging right, I wish I could get back onto TMF and look for the discussion we had a few years ago. The entire political spectrum has shifted right since Carter. Republicans are not only red, they're maroon. And if the Ds ever were a deep indigo, they are a light sky blue now.


That must explain the rise of the "democratic Socialist" and the fact that they're gaining a lot of traction inside your party. Come on, man.
