XS>I joined the Republican Party, when the democrat party went Marxist.

I joined in 1980.

The Democraps went Marxist in the 1930s or earlier. Didn’t you notice?

Clearly you display a complete ignorance of American politics.

The Dixiecrats moved to the Republican Party in the late 70s and early 80s.

Both parties went Progressive in the early 20th Century.

My Grandfather, a lifelong Democrat, was selected for the Alabama Delegation that went to the GOP Convention when Richard Nixon was the GOP Candidate, simply because he had changed Parties. He was a very well respected gentleman in Montgomery, Alabama. He didn’t actually attend because of declining health, so the alternate went in his place.

I still contend that in my heart of hearts I’m a Dixiecrat mostly because of Southern Politics. I’d register as a Democrat if I lived in a State where I had to declare when registering to vote. (We don’t in Georgia.) And where I live, most of the local Republicans act like National Democrats . . . stuck on stupid. We even have our own little “mini-Soros” running the local Republican Party from the sideline.
