It certainly is true of KKK and White Supremacist being on the left if this the 1940's...The fact is before JFK LBJ and started by FDR. The rural South was Democrat. They were in every way conservative and al for small gov't and preserving their way of (racist segregationist) life of course supported by the KKK, White Supremacists etc etc. The Republicans were the party of the urban North. The situation is obviously reversed today just look at elections maps from then and now. The whole south and north didn't magically change their beliefs. The parties did. After FDR and hjs new deal pockets of progressive democrats popped up here and there in the south and north believing a lot of what democrats today believe. It grew slowly but surely. JFK won presidency (suported by MLK and most all civil.rights figures) and LBJ took over passed the Civil Rights Act a democrat. The democrats became oberwhelmibgly conservaticve and the Republicans became overwhelmingly conservative supporting the likes of Goldwater from back in those days. They adopted the 'Southern Strategy' to attract those southern former democrats that got ledt out in the cold when democrats when progressive and that strategy worked really well. The democrats became progressive encouraging immigration, civil rights, gay rights, etc etc. Do KKK and White Supremacist really want those things? There's a reason David Duke and his band of racist supported Trump celebrated when he won and organized a 'Unite the Right' rally. Like I said look elections maps from then and now look at the party platforms from.then and now tells the story you are leaving out. |
