And I'm open to a history lesson.
The party that was originally called the democrats are now the republicans and if you live in the south like I do, a lot of them still call themselves the dixiecrats
Oh... the big switch argument. Here's a history lesson.
The switch that you talk about did not really take place. Strom Thurmond is the only one who moved over to the Republican Party. So this is a historical argument hinging on one guy. The rest of the Dixiecrats... well, they were happy to be Democrats. They went right back into the Democratic Party. They were lionized by the Democrats till the day they died. One example of this is Robert Byrd, former member of the Ku Klux Klan.
