    They did used to fight integration and were responsible for Jim Crow and all the rest of it. The entire south used to reliably vote Democrat in every election. The southern states are a sea of unbroken blue on every election map of the fifties and sixties. But then the Democrats signed the Civil Rights bill and told all their politicians to get on board or get out of the party. The GOP saw a huge opening here and became the party of white racism and now the south votes reliably red in every election.
    Oh I seem to recall that. I guess you don’t know the details cause LBJ pulled a fast one to get that one signed in the south. You may not be aware but LBJ said if we pass this bill we will have the blacks voting for us for the 100 years. Although he didn’t use the word blacks. So nice try Kirk but your take on US history is a bit off. Go to the Brexit thread I’m sure you have that perfect
    What he actually said when he signed the bill was to the effect that the Democratic party just lost the south for a generation. Or fifty years or something like that. Turns out it's going to be longer than fifty years. Getting ten percent of the country to vote for you at the expense of the eighty odd percent white majority at the time doesn't seem to me like a smart political move. And it wasn't! It was the right and moral thing to do though.

    I don't want to know about the Brexit thread. It looks likeit's going to be the biggest self inflicted economic disaster any country has ever managed to achieve.
