And we have 95 plus percent of the Negro race believing that the Democrat Party is good for them, even though they are too brainwashed to understand that the Democrat Party is the party of segregation, slavery, Bull Connor, fire hoses, attack dogs, the KKK, and Margaret Sanger with her Planned Parenthood (Negro Genocide Program). But they voted for the "historic" presidential candidate, along with the rest of demonazi party.
While Bull Conner was a Democrat and States Rights Party member the Alabama Republicans of the time were also opposed to heavy handed Washington dictates and SCLC guerrilla theatre and were not upset that fire hoses would be used on those who illegally blocked business entrances.
And if you study Alabama politics you’ll see the shift in the early sixties and in 1964 the Republican presidential candidate won Alabama by a landslide so it was NOT a solid Dem state at the time. In fact Goldwater was so strong that he dragged conservative Republicans from Alabama into the House of Representatives for the first time since Reconstruction. The issue in 1964 involved the nanny state dictating a myriad of rules and regulations for all aspects of our lives from schools to real estate to ballot security. Goldwater and Alabama were right and most of the nation was wrong.
