Is he not saying that, if Strom Thurmond had been elected President in 1948, we would've avoided a lot of "these problems"?

Yes, let's see shall we? Federal government intrusion into the states and the lives of their respective citizens, federal mandated healthcare and drug prescription plans, loss of any mention of God in education since 1962, welfare state.

Are you talking about those problems? Or just the ones the NAALCP provided as talking points. We need not I imagine to even begin to cover the overruling of many state laws that covered morality, accepted by the majority but hated by the 2% of hedonists, that have been overturned since 1948. Or the destruction of the family unit or the mention of God in government. You know the things that can't be discussed or figures widely provided because they will show that members of both parties have been putting the finishing nails in the coffin of the Republic for much longer than anyone wants to admit.

So yes, that's what I heard. The problems of today that many have hidden from, unlike Sen Thurmond and good Sen Helms from my home state

Unfortunately for your case, the Dixiecrats weren't concerned with any of these issues. Only segregation.

"...that's what I heard."

The problem is, that no one heard that from Lott.
