Keep deluding yourself, I could care less how ignorant you remain to be honest, just would prefer you kept your ignorance to yourself. Give the weak minded that want to be intelligent the opportunity to learn without your influence.

And you would be correct, I am no Republican either, nor am I Libertarian or the piece of crap party that ruined independent for us without a party affiliation due to naming their ultra right wing nut job party Independent.

Leave it to an ignoramus to have to label everything, they just can't seem to grasp the concept that there are some that fit with no parties, especially when there are only four parties, 2 right wing nut job parties and then some rwnj candidate comes in and hijacks the Republican party and flung it so far right wing that even if I wanted to align with them, I no longer could as I am not a nut job and do not wish to be lumped in with nut jobs.

My...my...for one who doesn't want to be lumped in with nutjobs, you are the only one acting like a "NUT job". Typical liberal responses though,i.e. when out performed mentally, attack the one who showed your faulty image of what the t***h is. Write paragraphs that spew bull chips on what others see and KNOW is reality and t***h. Try to make the other guy look bad, be loud ( if we were in the same room, you would be screaming ), call lots of names. The only thing you are accomplishing is proving that you DO belong to a party, the left wing extremist brown shirt f*****t party.
Once you have read this, you will come back with more name calling, ranting, and then say I am not worth your effort and will ignore me.....yada yada yada....

The South becomes Republican
For nearly a century after Reconstruction, the white South identified with the Democratic Party. Republicans controlled parts of the mountains districts and they competed for statewide office in the border states. Before 1948, southern Democrats believed that their party, with its respect for states' rights and appreciation of traditional southern values, was the defender of the southern way of life. Southern Democrats warned against designs on the part of northern liberals and Republicans and civil rights activists whom they denounced as "outside agitators".[citation needed]

The adoption of the first civil rights plank by the 1948 convention and President Truman's Executive Order 9981, which provided for equal treatment and opportunity for African-American military service members, divided the party's northern and southern wings.[13] In 1952, the Democratic Party named John Sparkman, a moderate Senator from Alabama, as their vice p**********l candidate with the hope of building party loyalty in the South.[14][15] By the late 1950s, the national Democratic Party again began to embrace the Civil Rights Movement, and the old argument that Southern w****s had to v**e for Democrats to protect segregation grew weaker. Modernization had brought factories, national businesses and a more diverse culture to cities such as Atlanta, Dallas, Charlotte and Houston. This attracted millions of northern migrants, including many African Americans. They gave priority to modernization and economic growth over preservation of the old ways.[16]

The Civil Rights act of 1964 and The V****g Rights Act of 1965 were passed by bipartisan majorities of northern congressmen. Only a small element resisted, led by Democratic governors Lester Maddox of Georgia, and especially George Wallace of Alabama. These populist governors appealed to a less-educated, blue-collar e*****rate that favored the Democratic Party, but supported segregation.[17] After the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case that outlawed segregation in schools in 1954, integration caused enormous controversy in the white South. For this reason, compliance was very slow and was the subject of violent resistance in some areas.[18]

The Democratic Party no longer acted as the champion of segregation. Newly-enfranchised African American v**ers began supporting Democratic candidates at the 80-90-percent levels, producing Democratic leaders such as Julian Bond and John Lewis of Georgia, and Barbara Jordan of Texas.[19]

Many white southerners switched to the Republican Party, some for reasons unrelated to race. The majority of white southerners shared conservative positions on taxes, moral values and national security. The Democratic Party had increasingly liberal positions rejected by these v**ers.[20] In addition, the younger generations, who were politically conservative but wealthier and less attached to the Democratic Party, replaced the older generations who remained loyal to the party.[20] The shift to the Republican Party took place slowly and gradually over almost a century.[20]

So..let me get this straight! After relying on s***e labor for a living, gathering riches off of the misery of others, committing atrocities on black people, (might have to hang a n****r or two to keep the rest in line), refusing to give them their freedom, fighting an all out war for it for 4 years, creating the KKK, creating Jim Crow laws, white only business', restaurants, hospitals, bathrooms, drinking fountains, buses, and fighting against civil rights tooth and nail right up to LBJ, that...suddenly!!! you became the good guys and the good guys became the bad guys...just like that? Really?

Today, most of the old plantations have been sold off. Where s***es once picked cotton, there are subdivisions and stadiums. The prejudice, however, remains.

"There are still a lot of people who think b****s are simply inferior to w****s," said Roger Ransom, an economic historian at the University of California, Riverside. "It is definitely there, and I don’t think it ever went away."

I had hoped that the r****m that prevailed throughout this country had faded but with the e******n of Barack Obama and then Donald Trump it's clear that the r****m that so defined this country is alive and well and lives in the Republican Party...

We show that contemporary differences in political attitudes across counties in the American South in part trace their origins to s***ery’s prevalence more than 150 years ago. W****s who currently live in Southern counties that had high shares of s***es in 1860 are more likely to identify as a Republican, oppose affirmative action, and express racial resentment and colder feelings toward b****s. These results cannot be explained by existing theories, including the theory of contemporary racial threat. To explain these results, we offer evidence for a new theory involving the historical persistence of political and racial attitudes. Following the Civil War, Southern w****s faced political and economic incentives to reinforce
existing r****t norms and institutions to maintain control over the newly free African-American population. This amplified local differences in racially conservative political attitudes, which in turn have been passed down locally across generations. Our results challenge the interpretation of a vast literature on racial
attitudes in the American South.

quoting from YOUR article...

By the late 1950s, the national Democratic Party again began to embrace the Civil Rights Movement, and the old argument that Southern w****s had to v**e for Democrats to protect segregation grew weaker.

...but still existed.

Civil Rights act of 1964 and The V****g Rights Act of 1965 were passed by bipartisan majorities of northern congressmen.

NOT southern democrats...

Only a small element resisted, led by Democratic governors Lester Maddox of Georgia, and especially George Wallace of Alabama. These populist governors appealed to a less-educated, blue-collar e*****rate that favored the Democratic Party, but supported segregation.[17] After the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case that outlawed segregation in schools in 1954, integration caused enormous controversy in the white South. For this reason, compliance was very slow and was the subject of violent resistance in some areas.

Here's where the democrats became the inclusive party??? Doesn't say that here...and notice the year...1954!

Many white southerners switched to the Republican Party, some for reasons unrelated to race. The majority of white southerners shared conservative positions on taxes, moral values and national security. The Democratic Party had increasingly liberal positions rejected by these v**ers.[20] In addition, the younger generations, who were politically conservative but wealthier and less attached to the Democratic Party, replaced the older generations who remained loyal to the party.[20] The shift to the Republican Party took place slowly and gradually over almost a century.[20]

It doesn't look to me like you read your own article!

Why did southerners switch to republican? I counted 7 reasons in this one paragraph. And, as I said before, there was no flip flop. There has not been a flip flop. Democrats are still the s***e owners through the welfare programs that keep b****s fed and clothed, but gives them no hope to better themselves and gives rise to the crime that we see nowadays.
Same ole democrats...
