Democrats in any numbers wouldn't vote for trump unless they were legit stupid as hell. I'm actually surprised any religious people would vote for him considering how he seems to be more willing to use religion as a tool, guess getting trans people out of the military wets your god panties more then I thought it would.
Then apparently a bunch of people were stupid as hell. I personally know a solid dozen politically active, registered Democrats who voted for Trump. I, the Republican, do not vote for Trump. They did. (Hint, they aren't stupid.) And I'm not inclined to consider your opinion of what my opinion should be based on Religion, you clearly don't even care to understand and are taking utterly unrelated cheap shots.
You have to care about the date of a study or else I could just call you an anti-semite because of what the catholic church did to jews long ago. Time matters.
You mean protected them for thousands of years [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_Judaism#Antisemitism]? Why do you think the Jewish people were in the Holy Roman Empire to begin with?
I don't recall ever saying that most engineers couldn't be republican, my point was that you haven't shown data that convinces me of it and I haven't been able to find anything that solidly lists it.
You suggested I was getting my information from Stormfront. You said "I don't feel like this should be that hard to find if its that true." And you ultimately listed as an example of my "multiple lies". You didn't say that most engineers couldn't be republican, but you sure as hell are attacking me for suggesting it.
Both parties were kinda the party of racism but your right, democrats were pretty damn racist back in the day, but after they started with the civil rights stuff, despite the southern democrats resistance, that pretty much solidified them as being better then republicans on it, especially since most of the southern democrats ended up changing to the republican party. I actually remember when this state switched colors in the 90s, before then it was unheard of for republicans to control it, now its solidly gerrymander red.
No, both parties were kinda the party of racism. There's no comparison, not even close. Saying pre-Civil Rights movement parties were both kinda the party of racism would be like saying now that both parties are the party of gun control. There's no equivalence, not even a little. It wasn't a Republican leading the chant of "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!"
No, most of the southern democrats didn't end up changing to the republican party. I'm aware of 2 Democratic politicians that flipped, and I can't even remember the name of the one that wasn't Strom Thurmond. Al Gore senior was a southern Democrat, that family never changed. Robert Byrd never changed. As far as the voters, the south didn't flip until 30-40 years later, as you witnessed firsthand. That's not people flipping parties because of changes in racial politics from the 60s. That's not a flip caused by people rejecting the Civil Rights Act of 1965, that's a flip cause by an entire generation of old racists literally dying and being replaced by... well... being replaced by you. I presume you're not a racist. The south flipped as it got less racist.
You remember when Republicans flipped the state red. Do you really think that happened because they were more racist? Do you really think the Republicans in the 90s and 00s were flipping southern states because they were more racist than they were in the 60s? That just seems like a weird theory to me.
Oh we don't even need to look deep, we can just look at shit trump says.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Trump is a Democrat.
