You made a broad brush statement. I offered an example that proved you wrong. The New Deal crowd was a coalition of Socialists, Communists, Populists, and Racists. If anything, there are fewer Communists and Populists in the Democrat party today, but it is still full of Socialists and Racists.
And I paint in broad strokes........you are trying to compare two different times in world history by saying all Democrats that were for the New Deal were all in this nefarious camp, which I’m sure encapsulates some of them.
At the same time it was most of that party favored the Lend Lease program....a move that would not be correlated with today’s bunch.
Again, Reagan being a Democrat in 1930-40 is not the same as Trump being a Democrat in 2004. Nor were the impetuses for each man to leave that party.
Reagan left the Democrat party on principle. Trump left it to find a way to run for higher office, eventually rotating between Independent and Republican. BUT first, left the Republican party because he identified more with Democrats.
