Yes, they were. They are republicans now. You arguing in bad faith here, because you very well know the democrats back then are the republicans now. The party of democrats back then is not the party of the democrats now. the democratic party represented the same people republicans represent today. You're trying to make an falsely link the democratic party today with the party in the 60's, you know that link is incorrect, but since it helps you make a point, you're making it anyways. I call this: intellectual fraud.


> . You arguing in bad faith here,

I am arguing in bad faith for pointing out historical facts? What bizarro world are we in? Do we not care about facts any more?

> You're trying to make an falsely link the democratic party today with the party in the 60's

That you think I am trying to make the Democratic party look bad by saying this is your assumption.

Guess what, Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act which abolished Jim Crow and was a Democrat in the 60s.

This doesn't mean anything with regards to modern politics.

> I call this: intellectual fraud.

I call it US History.

By the way, I hope no one ever treats you even even a little bit like you are treating me.


All you had to do was make a point without saying something untrue. Try this:

> That's not how it is in reality, southern states (not just them though) have been doing that with homeless people too, not just immigrants.

> The south and what would be modern republicans did jim crow in the 50s and 60s, we still talk about it today, ...

Not that difficult, and you could have bypassed the whole lashing at out me for pointing out your error fiasco.
