Wow, a black American who lived entirely before the GOP implemented the Southern Strategy was a Republican? That's pretty wild.

It was an interesting time of transition for both parties. There's a lot of nuance that a professional historian could parse out about it but, unfortunately it flys over most people's heads because they don't want nuance, they just want a cheap missile to lob at their opponent. It makes me disappointed because I enjoy learning history and always want to understand the full scope of what happened.

This could be the day you enlighten someone and make someone realize they enjoy learning about history!

Conservatives don't believe in the party switch or whatever it's called.

That's funny, because the GOP officially apologized to the NAACP not that long ago for doing it.
