That's an admission of the switch.....
A lot of young Dixiecrat aides later ran as Republicans like Trent Lott.
Professor Kruse has an excellent old Twitter thread detailing these switches.
Hotels, condos, whatever. It's not surprising that's what you'd rather focus on than his housing discrimination. You're not really doing anything with these arguments other than suggesting that White America as a whole is hella racist like you were BLM or something.
A congressional aide to a Dixiecrat congressman. Keep deflecting. That's the best you got.A lot of young Dixiecrat aides later ran as Republicans like Trent Lott.
Dixiecrat aide? What's that?
I just provided a link that listed a bunch I also gave you one myself, Trent Lott./——/ Who switched? The old Dixiecrats didn’t except a few, the young registered as Republicans. When did Fulbright, Gore and Byrd switch?
Again, I was there, you weren’t.

Slave owners were always a tiny minority of the American public. Unfortunately they were very rich and grabbed and maintained a lot of political power from 1787 until the 1850s.The slave owners didn't want their slave labor? Interesting.
Incorrect and misleading.I like how we have these Simps shitting on the memory of Democrats like Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis and yet they don't realize how thoroughly they've been conquered. Having them claim along with us that Robert E Lee was a piece of human shit from a shit culture is a victory. Let's all celebrate together!
I didn't say Lott ran as a Dixiecrat in saying that's how the switch happened. Old dixiecrats stayed on and retired as dixiecrats, the younger generation when it became their time to run ran as Republicans.Lott worked for a Dixiecrat who remained a Democrat his entire career.
That sounds awful!
When did Lott identify as or run as a Dixiecrat?
See. There it is. When you clowns try to talk tough against slavery it all breaks down when we start naming actual democratic slavers.Incorrect and misleading.
What was said about Democrats in-general was entirely true.
There are always exceptions that prove the rule.
Such as Robert E. Lee, an honorable fellow whose ancestry and economics and sense of duty put him on the wrong side.
Bobby Lee was one of the most brilliant and beloved military leaders in all of American history, Confederacy notwithstanding.
And none of that changes the accuracy of charges of racism and race-card-playing leveled against the idiot Democrats.
/——/ You are wrong. THE BIG SWITCH THAT WASNâT: THE DIXIECRATS, RACE AND 1964 - American 1I just provided a link that listed a bunch I also gave you one myself, Trent Lott.

No Lott switched and ran as a Republican. You're making my point.Old Dixiecrats stayed Democrats. They didn't all become Republican.
Lott never even ran as a Democrat.
No Lott switched and ran as a Republican. You're making my point.
/——/ You’re stuck on stupid and no amount of proof will change your mind.Today: the GOP is the party of segregation and the confederacy.
Past: the GOP failed its legacy.
He was an aide to a dixiecrat as a young man and then ran as a Republican. When you say he was never a dixiecrat you mean to say he was never a dixiecrat office holder. He did work for the dixicrats as an aide and then ran as a Republican as an adult. See its a strawman to suggest that when we say the party switched that we're referring to dixiecrats in Congress. We're talking about a cultural shift from a Dixiecrat representative and voting population to a Republican one that happened over time.He was never a Dixiecrat, he never ran as a Democrat.
His Dixiecrat boss never became a Republican.
You're making my point.
You are presenting a strawman. There was clearly a cultural shift from white southern conservatives supporting Democrats to them now supporting Republicans and Black Americans supporting Republicans to being the representatives of Democrats in the South./——/ You are wrong.

the Dixiecrats did NOT convert to Republicanism in 1964 (after Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act) as many historians and journalists now suggest. In fact, most of these racist libertarians returned to the Democratic Party after 1948 and became a significant voting block against civil rights and desegregation throughout the 1950s and early 1960s. According to one historical analysis, of the 1500+ racist “Dixiecrats” only Strom Thurmond and about a dozen others left the Democratic Party for the GOP (less than 1%). Furthermore, Thurmond didn’t switch parties until 16 years after Truman forced him to create his “Dixiecrat” party.

/——/ As the Dixiecrats died off so did their representatives.
