        Hit piece. Dredging up the past to make a silly comparison. Will USA mention that WALLACE was a DEMOCRAT? He even ran for President on the Democrat Ticket.

        Did Wallace have Conservative views or Liberal views? The comparison isn't silly, it's actually quite astute.

        Democrats don't hire white nationalist. They prefer Communist and Socialists types - Keith Ellison, Van Jones, Samantha Power, the DNC Pakastani IT guys, Cortez, Warren, Sanders, on and on......

        Look at them trying to come up with some kind of boogieman out of wanting people to have healthcare and not spend the rest of their life unable to start businesses or buy houses bc their college debt is too much, like no other civilized county.

        Sounds like you've got a lot of excuses for either your failure or the failure of your children, or both. You really ought to just suck it up and move on. Lots of folks have to overcome obstacles. This country is the land of opportunity.

        Lol you're either under 15 or over 60. Just another out of touch fool voting to get paid for life while voting to have the same programs you benefit from shut down for your kids and grandkids. More evil selfish shit.

        How is making minorities richer tapping fears? It means that they move into better neighborhoods, attend better schools, eat in better restaurants. The real racial issue Trump is creating is making the minorities realize that the Dems have been holding them back for decades.

        Obviously you do not know the history of political parties and party identification. This is the same comparison that Lincoln was a Republican and freed the slaves. The southern Democrats left the party and became Republicans. Google Dixiecrats- facts matter

        Please, feel free to look up the Dixiecrats. Do you understand that literally only one of them switched parties? Please, research the oft-cited "southern strategy" of Nixon & explain how choosing anti-segregationist Agnew was an appeal to racists.

        Take your own advice and do even a modicum of research because you have been propagandized and miseducated.

        Many have left the party and went Republican but some have stayed and voted with the Republican Party. Ex: Robert Byrd

        One. One "Dixiecrat" switched parities. That's it, just one. And that is what you're citing to prove "muh parties switched." No, doofus, they didn't switch. LBJ opposed the Civil Rights act, voted against it, & only signed it after massive Republican pressure in Congress.

        There are more Jesse helms. Meanwhile JFK the Democrat was pushing for the passage of the civil rights acts. Your post only proves my point-
