That stuff drives me crazy. They just wave their magic wand and somehow the Democrats get to “own” all the good stuff — Lincoln freeing the slaves — and Republicans get stuck with all the bad stuff — Jim Crow. Because, you know, the parties some how “changes places”.
Ridiculous.
Every time I hear a leftist make that claim, I always ask them to explain:
“When did that happen?”
“How did that happen?”
“Who were the major players involved in making that happen?”
“Was it sudden or a gradual change?”
“Where are the college courses or PHD thesis papers about this?”
No one has ever even tried to answer any of those questions.
Some good information here but we need to do a LOT more research on this.

It’s easy when everyone with a journalism credential or a teaching position bleats precisely how you demand them to.
