Calling them democrats seems kinda disingenuous tho right? Considering Woodrow Wilson democrats adopted the first modern use of the filibuster and that was some 50 years before the two parties did their big switcheroo into their current forms
There was no mass switching of parties, nor were there a mass switching of policy. The Democrats policies today, are very similar to the Jim Crow era laws, I mean, back then, they did what they could to take rights away from Black Americans, now Democrats are trying to take rights away from certain Americans.
Johnson only signed the Civil Rights law AFTER Republicans passed it in the House and Senate, with only very few Democrats voting for it.
Why in the name of the good Lord, would Republicans fight so hard to free the slaves, and work so hard to give them equal rights, only to turn around and completely oppose those policies? It makes no sense.
Ah, thanks! That explains why the Dems now want to get rid of the filibuster they put in years ago, cause Republicans are using it to hinder the Dems.

You still buy into that party switch myth?
