So cruel. Just as the blacks in the NPR ARTICLE were promised homes,jobs anew life for their families the arch demon de Santos is deporting immigrants to Martha Vinyard with no preparation or organization.
actually it’s more racist conservatives replaying that game. back in the 60s it was most likely southern democrats.
Back in the ‘60s, Southern Democrats WERE racist conservatives.
And they got their asses whipped. Everything they wanted to do to stop us failed. We defeated them. 1954 to 1964 was a nightmare of epic proportions for them. Now their effing grandchildren are trying to roll back the calendar. They're going to lose this time too.
That faction of the Democrats left to support Wallace or the GOP after LBJ pushed through the Voting Rights Act and other legislation. Nixon and Reagan actively courted their votes. Have to remember he also was a Southern Democrat.

The House voted 290 to 130 in favor. Democrats split their vote 152 (61%) to 96 (39%) while Republicans split theirs 138 (80%) to 34 (20%). The no vote consisted of 74% Democrats.
Nixon and Reagan led the way and there was a general effort by the whole Republican Party to gain power in the South that not only involved welcoming Party switches (Democrat to Republican) but also disgusting smear campaigns against Democrats still in Congress from the South that embraced Civil Rights. Like Max Cleland:
Truly shameful what Republicans did to him.
