      But it still happened, and the opportunity for it to happen could only have been in the Democrat Party. Try and brush it off as much as you try, it’s still an undeniable event, fact and history, and proof that both parties are NOT the same.

      By the same token of your argument, LBJ and Congress passing the Civil Rights Act was a fluke, because it only happened once? They knowingly sacrificed the entire electoral south for several generations and to this day, to do the right thing. “Yeah, but it doesn’t count.” Oh give me a break.

      Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, there are shining examples of Democrats attempting to do the right thing in a complex and changing, overwhelming world, while with republicans at the same time it has been all about endless avarice and appetite, with the snarl of bigotry facing in all directions.

        That wasn’t my point. My point is that the parties switched, or more accurately The Republicans went from being left of Democrats to the far right sometime between 1912 and 1945-1960
