if you realized that more democrats voted against the civil rights act than republicans
The southern democrats who are MAGA today. That's the point. You reversed it because you thought it put you and MAGA on the moral high ground. Its the OPPOSITE
Strom Thurmond filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957. The "great Society" is the 60s with the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT of 1964 and the VOTING RIGHTS ACT of 1965. LBJ was commenting on both in 1964 when he said ‘Well, I think we may have lost the south for your lifetime – and mine.’
TODAY, MAGA is composed largely of all those Southerners who oppose the Voting Rights Act and Medicare (another Great Society program) and the Civil Right Act.
And, if you're paying attention you should be able to see the same transformation occurring today, just moving even further right. I mean MODERN Republicans were for LIMITED government, local control etc. Today its the Opposite through MAGA. Florida's state government has literally solicited that local school district follow a Heritage education plan. Trump has used FEDERAL forces to invade states etc etc etc.
They just say history classes are indoctrination so you can't win..it's the perfect system of disinformation.
That was the point of saying POLITICAL (make sure to emphasize that AGAIN) "kamikaze" or 'dead -ender." The conversations are pointless because the IDEOLOGY is more important than FACTS. Not saying the humans are kamikaze or dead enders, I am saying that the POLITICAL communications are DOA because the goal is not common ground, its scorched earth and vengeance and above all never agreeing with the LIBS!!
In 2017, newsman Ted Koeppel famously told Sean Hannity that Hannity was bad for America, the point being that people like Hannity packed OPINION as news. When Hannity recoiled, Koeppel said he meant that Hannity was good at what he does (OPINION) and that he had managed to tap into an audience who elevated IDEOLOGY over FACTS.
Since 2017, its only gotten worse. Koeppel was right.
