RATS love to cite George Wallace's failed third party bid and Nixon's "southern strategy" in 1968 as "proof" that "the two parties switched sides" and supposedly all the racist RATS who opposed civil rights went and joined the GOP in droves (and all the pro-civil rights Republicans then went and joined the RAT party en masse for whatever reason? This fantasy makes no sense)

They leave out the inconvenient historical fact that George Wallace RETURNED to the RAT party after his failed third party bid, and was in fact welcomed back with open arms, repeatedly winning re-election as Governor of Alabama on the RAT ticket in the 70s and 80s.

Pesky little things, facts like that.

There was nothing racissss about the southern strategy, that’s another lie that never gets countered.
