The pushback/reaction to that assertion will be epic; assuming Blacksor libs pay any attention to Dinesh, which they probably don’t. Fortunately I will be well out of range, not giving much of a crap as I do.
I have read arguments that state that blacks went Democrat in the 1960’s. It was very interesting to read that it happened much much earlier!
I have an entirely different analysis.
Southerners were overwhelmingly Jeffersonian Democrats right from the time of the ratification of the Constitution up to their defection from the Democratic Party en masse in the 1950s-1992 when they elected Republican congressional majorities for the first time since the end of the Occupation.
What did Jeffersonian Democrats believe in? A balanced budget, limited government expenditures, decentralized power and state’s rights, the right to keep and bear arms, and they always had a strong cultural affinity for the military. These views have been remarkably consistent among Southerners for well over 2 centuries. That have never waivered from them.
Look at the Democratic Party today. Which of those do they believe in? Absolutely NONE of them. The Democrats today are the party of big government, centralized power, massive expenditures, gun grabbing and military weakness.
It was not Southerners who left the Democratic Party, it was the Democratic Party which left the South.
The Left is of course LYING when they claim the only reason anybody could ever oppose them and their agenda was and is racism. This smear tactic is their answer to any disagreement with their socialist/cultural marxist pronouncements on any and every issue. They dare not engage on the issues so they just try to slime anybody who doesn’t go along with them.
