If he actually fucked up everything for the next 7.5 years, you'll know how we feel
That's not true, that's the false narrative the left and the democrats sell. Dixiecrats remained democrats and were reelected as democrats their entire lives with one exception. Furthermore, no Republicans changed parties over this. Why would a racist politician change his party because they weren't racist enough to join the party that can be argued was actually responsible for passing the voting rights bill? Of course that doesn't make sense. Anyhow, a southern democratic president signed the bill which was supported more by Republicans (% wise) in both houses than it was Democrats. In the Senate it was 30-2 on the Republican side, just 47-16-4 (read 47-20) on the democratic side. If the Republicans don't help LBJ end the Democratic filibuster, the bill may never see the light of day. One Dixiecrat started the KKK in his home state and left office a democratic hero when he died in 2010. Another Dixiecrat was Bill Clinton's mentor. People rewriting this history is poppycock.
Politics is not nearly as much north vs south as the criminally colluding lying media try to sell us, as well as all other democrats who like to talk as if they have the morally higher ground. It's more urban vs suburban and rural. And yes, the voting rights act did help create that divide because 90+% of African Americans vote democrat every election cycle and they dominate the urban vote. But the voting act not alone. LBJ and the democrats also passed the great society, which put welfare and poverty on steroids and those voters also inhabit urban areas. So it's the misguided impression of the voting rights act of 1965 and the war on poverty that created more poverty that divided the nation into poor urban areas vs the rest of the country (with a few exceptions of course).
Democrats have a history of rewriting history, they're enabled to do so because they carry their false narrative though the media, Hollywood and through unionized educators. The most recent examples?
1) taking credit for Clinton's surpluses which were created by Newt's budget. A budget Bubba gets credit for signing, but democratic swamp dwellers who OPPOSED that budget take credit for it as they mock the party that wrote the bill for creating deficits.
2) their votes to remove Saddam from office, blaming it on Bush lies while ignoring their calls for removal long before Bush became POTUS
3) using Poppy's "NO NEW TAXES" line against him in 1992 when he gave them the tax increases THEY WANTED. Imagine that, the democrats negotiate and demand tax increases and then get to use those tax increases against the president that signed their bill
Priceless
I know this is a broken record and I've said it a 100 times but
I've been betrayed by the Republican party. I've been told that if
we would give them the House, Senate and Presidency they would do
the following:
Repeal Obamacare? Check. End illegal immigration? Check. Build the wall? Check.
Fix the tax code. Check. Bring federal spending under control. Check.
Here is the reality of what really happened. I'll give you a hint, they really didn't mean it.

Few things, Willie (outstanding post, btw):
1. It doesn't need to be argued that R's carried the Civil Rights Act of 1964 across the finish line...that's simply reality. It'd be like saying it could be argued that Michael Jordan helped the Bulls to the six titles they won...yet he was the leading scorer in every one of those Finals (assuming that's true). Just take a look at the number of R's who voted for it versus dimocraps (some of which, as I mentioned in this thread, were either KKK themselves or were standing in picket lines blocking black kids from entering white schools...meanwhile, Mitt Romney's father was marching with MLK at Civil Rights rallies).
2. Another big reason for the Bubba surplus was reducing the number of military members and divisions down to numbers not seen in decades. W began building it back up, and I hope Trump continues to make it so fierce and highly trained that the rest of the world doesn't dare fuck with us.
As for you, BP...you're being given a free lesson in history here. My advice is to man up, admit you had never heard any of this before and just try to learn as much as possible. Willie and I have asked you some very basic questions that could be easily and quickly answered and explained had this giant switch taken place. You can't even cite a date this allegedly happened. Your inability to find it...doesn't that strike you as kind of...odd?
I concur 100%, but at least Trump is trying to get all those things done (although that repealing of the tax code thing could wait a few years
)I want all career politicians to be sent home to live with their families, I want to start over, I'm not leaving Republicans off that list
And another thing that pisses me off is the perseption that TrumpI concur 100%, but at least Trump is trying to get all those things done (although that repealing of the tax code thing could wait a few years

has to work with Congress. How about the Congress has to work with
Trump? He won the presidency because of the things he wants to do.
If the voters didn't like his agenda they wouldn't have made him
the President. Then the blowhard Rinos in Congress conveniently forget
they work for the people and are supposed to do our bidding. Instead
they tell us we're too stupid to know what's good for us and they
must save us from our own demise while racking up massive debt with
no relief in sight.
Sometimes I think we would be better off under a dictatorship than a democracy.
k:A few weeks ago, you and I arrived at that conclusion: many voters would say to hell with this shitshow and just stay home.
Nope. I'm retracting that prediction.
The dimocrap party is imploding before our eyes. Their true colors are coming out, and the average 'Murican is seeing them for what they are. So, what's happening? After we deep six the dim party in 2018, the establishment RINOs are next on the list. Kelli Ward, for ex, is kicking the shit out of that loser Jeff Flake in early Arizona polls.
Yep, President Trump has already done MANY great things, but perhaps the best thing he's done so far is exposing GOPe Inc as the fraud it is.
