Strom Thurmond and the Dixiecrats left with the racists to the Republican party after his filibuster and then Then LBJs Southern Strategy was deployed and is still working today. Class Solidarity and worker solidarity is always eliminated quickly. We will all be wage slaves.
Thurman is a great example of a Southern Democrat turning into a Reagan Republican to stay conservative ... LBJ didn't do the Southern Strategy, Nixon did ...
"Despite being a Southern Democrat himself, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.[3] These actions led to heavy opposition from Southern Democrats.[4][5]"
"Many scholars have stated that southern whites shifted to the Republican Party after a civil rights culture change and due to social conservatism.[6][7][8]" (From Wikipedia "Southern Democrats")
This history selects into lie. It isn't "Democrats were very racist", it's "America was very racist". LBJ was a big breaking point in that history.
"Following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, Southern states became more reliably Republican in presidential politics, while Northeastern states became more reliably Democratic." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politic....
