And opposed the Civil Rights Act!

Yeah, I got into it once with some Wingnut who thought he had a winning argument, bringing up the Democratic Party’s support for slavery in the middle of the Nineteenth Century. He didn’t think the flight of Southern Democrats to the GOP after the Civil and Voting Rights Acts were passed should count.

What a maroon.

That has been an ongoing talking point with the Right for ages.

But mostly, it is an internal talking point: they want to argue that it is pointless to try to include blacks and latinos in the GOP because they cannot recognize their own best interests, they are totally in thrall to the Party of Free Government Stuff
