Oh so this is one of the things you were alluding to with the Democrats racist past.
It was actually the Democrats who helped inspire the "Southern Strategy",the strategy used by Republicans to appeal to white racist,leaving black people with no true autonomy as American voters.
There was a time where the Democrats were more racist than the Republicans. And due to voter supression by the Democrats,plus sheer numbers, The Republicand continued to get mollywhopped in elections. Then the Civil rights movement came,and by black people negotiating with the very people oppressing us. We begin to take a liking to those good ol white men in the Democratic party.
Republicans understood white racism,and knew southerners would be turned off by Democrats starting to cozy up with blacks. So they saw the opening and adopted the Southern Strategy to win back white racist in the south from the historically racist Dems. They started winning elections again and havent looked back since
And no,im not saying this to excuse or deflect because im a secret MAGA agent. Im saying this to say things go in cycles. Let the Democrats keep getting mollywhopped in these elections,and we will see how long before they take on a new strategy
