"...I also know a lot of self-described liberals who are more conservative than some conservatives here..."

Sigh. I know. That is very disheartening. But then, I realize that is what they want. They want demoralized enemies, and I buck up and refuse to get sucked in by their gasbaggery and propagandizing.

I simply refuse. It is part of the fight.

And I'm thinking of how things were in the South. After Reconstruction, whites voted democrat, and blacks Republican. Blacks started to vote democrat around the time of FDR, but it was still 50/50. By the 1970s, the Dixiecrat democrats were not changing, but DYING. People try to sell the idea that the Southern white supremacists “switched” to Republican because Nixon was a right-winger who supported them. The lie is, Jimmy Carter still won the South in 1976. Fritz Hollins was still SC sinator in until the 90/2000s. As was Sam Nunn, John Edwards, Max Cleland, Bob Graham, Bill Nelson. In fact, those last two where white Florida democrats, and now the entire state is deep red.

Nope, these people had to die out. I knew some old people here in the late 90s who were white democrats but they're now dead. All whites in Southern suburbia and rural vote Republican. All blacks everywhere in the South vote democrat. And white city dwellers, the few who are, also vote democrat. Charlotte, Nashville, Atlanta, Savannah, Birmingham and New Orleans have some gay and trans whites who live there and their ? supporters.

I'm hoping the Callais decision by the Supreme Court will get rid of those on purpose black democrat districts and we may see some decent people voting for black Republicans!
