I don't think that is true.
Lyndon Johnson: “I'll have them ni**ers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years. [Said to two governors regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to then-Air Force One steward Robert MacMillan]”

And from the Huffington Post: The Democratic Party's Two-Facedness of Race Relations

It's a great, and pretty short, read.

I honestly don't know where people get the idea that the role ever reversed. I mean, Senator Robert Byrd was both Democrat Senator and was also elected Exalted Cyclops in his local KKK organization. He left the Senate in 2010 by dying.

Useful and enlightening information about Robert Byrd.

And, finally, abortion ends a much larger percentage of black pregnancies than any other race. i.e. it can be easily argued that supporting it is basic racism. Which party tends to support it?

Finally, look at the numbers regarding each party's vote tally in both the house and senate regarding the Civil rights act of 1964

So, again, what gives people the belief that the roles reversed?

After the Democrat led Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 most members of the racist wing of the Democratic Party, aka Dixiecrats, became REPUBLICANS.

Kind of getting away from the original premise of the thread, folks. Roe v. Wade, states rights, women's rights, right to life are all well-worn topics for debate here and elsewhere. Done to death. I specifically wanted to know whether anybody thought the SCOTUS decision today might give a back-handed boost to the Dems in the mid-terms or are they still screwed?

Yes the SC decision on Roe v. Wade will help the Dems in the 2022 midterm elections.

As for the narrative that Dems were going to be screwed in the 2022 midterm elections, IMO that is a Repub fantasy.

If the Dems are crafty they can take the Republican narrative away from inflation and gas prices. After all gas prices and inflations will come down at some point but the results of what the Repubs are gunning for will last for decades.

This, and the Jan 6 hearings. They need to prove they can walk and chew gum on the issues.

Each "defector" was a unique story. How many defected because they wanted out of the racist party. How many were simply fed up with the Democrats letting them down in other ways. The republican party had the track record of fighting the racists since Lincoln, so what prompted democrats to run to it?

We'll see. I think the opposite will happen. But staunchly blue states will probably remain blue. I expect some blue states, and especially the purple ones. to go red.

It's only a few months away. We'll soon know one way or the other.
