     Interesting fact, in 1970 Mississippi was overwhelmingly a Democratic, not Republican state. Whoever made this meme made an oopsie.

     in "Worse than Slavery", I was surprised to read that there was a time in which the Democrats were more racist than the Republicans in the US. I don't recall when it was that it flipped. maybe it wasn't that long ago?

     @lxo

     The flip, like everything in politics, is a matter of opinion. But yea that is commonly described by many. generally 1870s is when the republicans moved right then early 1960s is when the democrats moved left. So there was a period there where there wasnt much left ideaology on either side.
