I wonder do some people even think? do they wonder about why black people universally vote democrat? wouldn't make sense if they were still the party of slavery now would it?

The Civil Rights Act mayhaps?Over the mountain.Let's flip it to the Republicans who love to call on the name of Lincoln but don't seem to understand party realignment.

"Being alive is pretty much a constant stream of embarassment." - Pod 153Carmelo posted...Just yesterday on Fox an argument to the effect of "DEMOCRATS were the party of slavery! Checkmate liberals!" was made. And I've seen it countless times on twitter
Basically why the f*** are so many republicans totally ignorant of political realignment? These are supposedly educated (lol) people too who apparently know stuff about history but not that. I literally learned this in high school! Is it the kind of thing where they only taught it in the northern states but not the south? It's such a simplistic and easily refuted argument that I can't believe people are still making it but here we are
It's a problem on the American right.
It doesn't really exist in Canadian discourse and makes about as much sense as arguing that the Conservative Party of Canada will tear up NAFTA because "The Conservatives are the party of the Empire and the National Policy while the Liberals are the party of continentalism and reciprocity."Bustin' Justin makes us feel good!It's technically true but completely meaningless given historical context.Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids.lilORANG posted...It's technically true but completely meaningless given historical context.

it's like a blatant refusal to use deductive reasoningYou can take a class on the history of U.S. politics in college and learn it there.

yet if you go on about the crusades to point out christians can be bad too you get people going on and on about how that was so long ago, doesnt matter now.What I find most interesting about the argument is that they're using it to try to disparage democrats...while at the same time defending racism. Pick a side guys. Either racism is bad and the party that supported it was bad, or racism is good and the party that supported it was good.
Even if it were true that democrats were the racists...that doesn't matter anymore. What matters is who the racists are now.It's like punching a round bottom dummy. We all know it's futile, but occasionally it's fun.

That's just how democrats try to bury their own heinous past.
Except there was. After the civil rights act most of the solid south started voting GOP. In 1968 Wallace won most of them on his pro-segregationist platform, and after that most southern states who preciously voted Democratic felt the party moves to far left (And had allied with blacks.) and started voting Republican by similar margins as they used to vote Dem. It really is no coincidence that states that voted Dem by large margins in 1960 were voting decisively Republican by 1972 on.
At the same time the liberal wing in the GOP was shrinking, with many urban inner city Republicans who were moderate to liberal jumping ship. Black people also used to favor the GOP (Or were at least a large presence. ), yet as its conservative wing grew, with racist southern Dems joining and altering the party strategy, combined with the Civil Rights act, all that together led to an exodus of black and minority voters from the Republican party to the Democratic party.
Jimmy Carter won the south in 1976 so your proposition of 1968 and 1972 hold no basis. What's more likely is that there hasn't been a good Democratic candidate since Carter that focuses on issues relevant to the South like immigration, pro-life, and gun control.

@Gradieus
explain then:
why are the southern former confederate states primarily red today?
why is it the republican party who wants to defend confederate monuments today?
why is the republican party the party of states rights today?
1. Because no Democratic candidate focuses on immigration, pro-life and 2nd amendment. Carter won the south in 1976 so any notion about 1968 and 1972 flipping things is moot. You just need a better candidate.
2. Because monuments are history and my history is your history. Advocating for the removal of George Washington statues and blowing up My. Rushmore is pathetic and goes against everything Americans stand for. Removing George Washington says a lot more about the Left than the Right.
3. Because the government has gotten out of control. Only big cities succeed from big government. There's no real big cities in much of the South, which are liberal leaning anyway, so they suffer the most.
Well I have to give you credit for having at least one true statement in your post. Carter did in fact win the South in 1976. A single true statement is an improvement for you, but everything else you said is a lie.
Nobody is "advocating for the removal of George Washington statues and blowing up My. Rushmore", and the reason Republicans are defending Confederate statues (largely erected on behalf of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s, or as symbols of defiance of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 60s) is because they approve of the white supremacist ideology of the Confederacy.
And claiming there aren't any big cities in the South is flat-out insane. Apparently you think that Houston, the 4th largest city in America with a population of 2.1 million and a metro area of 6 million. Also apparently not existing: such large cities as Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Tampa, Baltimore, San Antonio, Nashville, Jacksonville, Memphis, Richmond, New Orleans, Raleigh, and Birmingham, all of which have metro areas of over 1 million.A bad enough dude to save the President.

They don't want to remove them because they're part of history. Lincoln forgave them, why can't you?

There's your key word. Lincoln's fight was a conservative one, as laid down by his definition of conservatism at Cooper Union. The preservation of our constitution and the rule of law, vs people who wanted to secede and ignore elections if they didn't get their way.
"But state's rights!" Many northern states ignored and would have been perfectly fine with nullifying fugitive slave codes, which were a federal imposition. The Dred Scott decision had nothing to do with the constitution and was like the Roe or Obergefell of its era, it was just an activist Democrat judge on his soapbox demanding that he get what he personally wanted. One must also wonder how much Democrats cared about state or individual rights, when they were the ones who crossed over with slave catchers and violent mobs to burn down abolitionist presses.
