Q: When did the Democrat party become the Democratic party in name?
Look at the Wilmington Insurrection.
Detailed history of racism in the DemoKKKrat Party
Fixed it so as to avoid any confusion. Much better now?
You’re going to get flamed every time you post one of your own blog entries, even if it’s not a bad post.
There are several FReepers who specialize in such rebukes.
Welcome.
This writing is so painfully bad.
I have an extremely simple analysis.
Leftists (democrats) are only good at proposing really terrible things, and wrecking good things.
As such, they were opposed to civil rights laws when such laws were actually a good idea (pre civil war to about 1960).
And then, they embraced increasing such legislation past the point where it actually did some good. In other words they embraced it only when the situation had been dealt with and further legislation was actually harmful!
It is like being against penicillin right up to the point that the patient is recovering (from doses of penicilling), then demanding MORE penicillin be given to the cured patient - which will kill him.
They are always wrong and destructive.
What simpler way could two political camps be constructed? One, basically right; the other, wrong.
This is a very liberal take by those who are desperate and Gop supporters. It’s dumb. Basically it accuses America of being a racist nation, founded by racist.

Your excellent article is complemented by a book by Lenni Brenner, “The Lesser Evil”. At the time that I first heard of it, (decades ago), I believe it was titled, “The Democrat Party, The Lesser Evil.” Brenner cites quotations of Democrats from Jefferson to Johnson. I found this book to be very informative. (It’s on Amazon.)
Brenner was interviewed on a local talk radio station. As well as I can remember: “The Democrats don’t say that their platform is better than the Republicans; they say we are not as bad as the Republicans.”
Caller: “But we have a two party system!”
Brenner: “Yes. The two get together and say, ‘Let’s have a party.’”
Caller: “But the Democrats are for the poor!”
Brenner: “With the Democrats, the poor are one nickel richer; with the Republicans, they are one nickel poorer.”
Etc., etc., etc.
Search for “Lenni Brenner” on Wikipedia for more information.
Welcome aboard and thanks for your work.
