    The facts are that the two parties did switch several positions over the course of a century and a half, especially on issues of race. Your feelings may say otherwise, but the facts are quite clear on this.https://twitter.com/thecjpearson/status/1004115104659537922 …

    Kevin M. Kruse added,

    CJ PearsonVerified account @thecjpearson
    Tomorrow, I’m giving a REAL history lesson. The parties never switched. Republicans freed the slaves. Republicans opposed Jim Crow. Republicans overwhelmingly backed the Civil Rights Act Of 1964. These are all facts and unfortunately, facts don’t care about your feelings.

        Since this is apparently my life now, here's the thread I did a month ago when Kanye floated this same nonsense.https://twitter.com/kevinmkruse/status/991131181444943872 …

        First, it's important to note that, yes, the Democrats were indeed the party of slavery and, in the early 20th century, the party of segregation, too. (There are some pundits who claim this is some secret they've uncovered, but it's long been front & center in any US history.)

        Please clarify the “facts” as you know them. Here are the “Facts” as Dr. Carol Swain knows them. https://youtu.be/OURy5WFp0zk . https://youtu.be/g_a7dQXilCo

        And here's my response to that video, which is horribly misleading. And as I note at the end of this, Dr. Carol Swain -- who insists in that video that the southern strategy is a "myth" -- wrote about it herself in 2003.https://twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/996386257109508096 …

        I'd really rather stop talking about this, but the video at this link has nearly 10 million views now, so ... buckle up. https://twitter.com/prageru/status/996165540161830912 …

        Kevin, it’s not so complicated. Here’s another simple example. The Romans crucified Jesus. That is why today I am confident in the knowledge that all Romans and their Italian descendants are anti-Christian.

        The parties have switched roles more than once in fact. Lincoln made fun of a similar switch in the early 19th century in an 1859 letter. http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/pierce.htm …pic.twitter.com/EeyK6Vbxu4
