I'm not lying. I'm living in the south, and watching people my father and grandfather's age throughout history.

The racists who used the N word and were against Civil Rights died Republicans, although they were yella dog democrats all their lives until the end of the Civil Rights Movement. And some took longer to leave the democrat party, but they eventually did, and joined their kindred in the Republican party.

I've watched them. I watched them hang their heads, especially during the Carter administration, and lament "The Democratic party isn't ours anymore. Where did our party go?" (To the right wing is where, they soon realized, and ran to catch up and join them).

The modern Democrat Party has changed for the worse, most registered Democrats and non-Democrats can at least agree upon that.

Worse than slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow laws that the democrats used to support?

And, of course, white people are evil in the minds of democrats.

It is interesting that dems claim to be inclusive and accepting of all creeds and races......... except white people.

Dems are just like other totalitarian movements and always need an "enemy" toward which the party faithful can vent their hate.

The party you describe from a century ago has changed.

It's now the Republican Party.

The names didn't change.

The agendas sure as hell did.

1) The Bribe-People-Not-to-Work Party
2) The Criminal Support Party
3) The Destroy-America Party

You are on point this morning (as usual).

The possessive form which your thread title should have used, has no apostrophe: its.
