99 percent of your post is just opinion...yours...without any supporting documentation. Admittedly, I did not document most of the post I made...but I do admit it.
Not sure what I have to answer for. I voted for none of those people. And suggest you check again on who gave us Wilson and FDR. Here’s a hint: try to figure it out without applying party affiliations but at socialist/progressive orientations. Lincoln, Wilson, FDR and Obama...peas in a pod.
Hmmm ... so all I had to do was just say that your whole post was just your own unsupported opinion and brush it aside? Good to know.
Actually, though, I did look up who controlled Congress from 1829 to 1859. Thirty years. And the Democrats had control of each house for all but 6 of those years.

And I looked up the vote for Wilson and FDR. 96% of the vote in SC for Wilson in 1912. 98% for FDR in 1932. 98% for FDR in 1932. 95% for FDR in 1940 (what happened?). SC had the most extreme results but the other states (particularly Mississippi) weren't so far off.
Everybody has their reasons, explanations and excuses. If my grandparents voted for Roosevelt it's because they were poor and either out of work or worried about losing their jobs. 70 years later I'm not going to blame them for that. And I understand how people in a similar position would vote in a similar way.
But Southerners could vote 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% for some very liberal candidates -- could actually give us Wilson and mightily contribute to giving us FDR -- and still claim to be immaculate conservatives with nothing to regret or make up for. It's a funny world.
