And Abe Lincoln and US Grant were Republicans.
The Solid South was all white, Democrat racists.
It all started to shift after Lyndon Johnson pushed through the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights act. The geography and racial makeup of the two parties changed dramatically.
Of course, all this is very old history. I can't imagine why Republicans think anyone is going to vote for them because of all this old history. Voters barely remember what happened last year.
They certainly didn't remember much about the first Trump administration when they voted in 2024.
Joe McCarthy was a Republican. Does anyone really care today?
