Its not though. We used to be a Democrat bastion pre southern strategy. People need to get back to voting in their own interest and not party lines. I suppose step one is even voting to begin with…
So when the Democrats were the racists?
Not entirely. You should work on your black and white view of the world.
To be fair, they’re not entirely wrong. Democrats back then were mostly racist Dixiecrats who switched to the Republican party because the national Democratic party decided to push for the Civil Rights Act
Oh cool, thanks. I have friends in Texas and they make it sound like it could never happen.
It is going to be a tough battle and we will have to fight every attempt to stop it. The republicans have built state government in a way to try and make it as difficult as possible for a democrat to take over. But it is never impossible. We also tend to be pessimistic on this topic
