  • It very much is a myth. The Dixiecrats didn’t become Republicans. They remained Democrats and mentored the next generation of Democrats. Al Gore Sr was a flaming racist and his son almost became president. Some like Robert Byrd acted like they were distancing themselves from Democrat hate groups like the KKK, but Byrd’s voting record still shows he clung to his racist ways by systematically voting against black appointments, especially non Democrat ones.

    Also, you don’t found a new chapter of an organization you don’t believe in and Democrats still preach white supremacy. They merely call it “white privilege” now.




  • It was also full of Democrat shenanigans that they knew the Republicans would not vote for, so they tossed in jerrymandering, knowing the bill would never pass to make it look like they were for it.

    Without jerrymandering, the Democrats would lose many seats because they’d no longer be able to take large swaths of rural and suburban areas, then make a wonky looking maps to link them to cities to ensure the suburban and rural voters get outvoted by the urban voters. They’d also no longer be able to carve out mostly black districts that they have no chance of ever losing.

    Without their jerrymandering, they wouldn’t have single party control of Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
