Never knew a Dixiecrat that was not a conservative. How this country would have been a much better place if the great Strom Thurmond had been elected president.

What is inherently conservative about Jim Crow and wanting to deny civil rights to a sizable part of your population?

A Dixiecrat was a States Rights small government man, the states come first, not the Federal government. That was a Dixiecrat. In social issues they were conservative, they just wanted the right to control their own destiny, not Washington DC control is for them. Forced busing and affirmative action (all liberal democrat ideas) were the absolutely terrible ideas that didn’t work.
