And let's not forget that Strom Thurmond, the man whose hatred for black people gave him the demonic fortitude to filibuster the Civil Rights Act for 24 hours and 18 minutes was a Democrat, until he and his ilk decided to all gather in the Republican Party.

I don't think liberals will ever quite understand why it was so easy for him to switch parties like that. Or why Trump made the same switch after being a Hillary supporter in 2008.

I'm mean that one is easy. He just picked the voters easiest to fool. Or maybe just the vocally evil ones. I don't think he could have said half the shit he did and have won a dem primary.

Not only was he a dem, he was personal friends with the Clintons. All that racist shit libs know he's been saying since the 90s? His buddies were pushing for the Crime Bill at the time
