Sell it to someone else you dissembling prick.
And this “conversation” started when I posted a very lengthy, link-filled post about the myriad factors that lead to the major realignment of the two major parties over civil rights which persists to this day. One of which was in fact the Dixiecrats which was not only about three Dixiecrat candidates in 1948. BTW, the Thurmond-Wright ticket carried the previously solid Democratic states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina, receiving 1,169,021 popular votes and 39 electoral votes. So sell your hokum that it was just about 3 guys who split from the Democratic party somewhere else.
And you ignored the bulk of my post which talks in-depth and at length about the GOP using the Southern Strategy to move the racist “state’s rights” crowd from the Democratic party and into the GOP fold.
So you can save your flaccid attempts at spin, deflection and apologia for the racist GOP base. It isn’t working.
