| We all know how the history books will portray MAGA. Racist misogynist Trump cult duped by a narcissist’s propaganda. It’s clear as day to the rest of us and the world. But you keep playing mental gymnastics with yourself so you can sleep at night. |

Nah, the racist provocateurs have attention span of a gnat and are totally politically transactional. Just look at the Democrats pivot from the party of slavery to civil rights; all the blacks had to give them was to rewrite the immigration laws so that Democrats could find other sources of cheap labor to exploit. The Northern Democrats literally never had to change. |
What "number of leftists" are you referring too? This is an anonymous forum. The vast majority of heinous comments are posted by a single person or just a few idiot trolls posting the same crap repeatedly. If you think a significant portion of Americans are aligned with the hyper-partisan hate and awfulness being spewed from the obnoxious political extremists, you are greatly mistaken. Internet communication can be toxic if not balanced with real world face to face communication with real people. |
Wut? |
Not all Democrats are far left. There’s a spectrum, which is why I use the term leftists |
That was my reaction too. Apparently all Democrats secretly want slaves, and conservatives have always been pro-organized labor, and Southern politics have always been free of racism. There’s drunk history, and then there’s mushroom trip history. |
This is a distortion, and to try and claim the Democrats of today are still exactly the same as Democrats of the 1860s or the segregationist Dixiecrats and so on is not grounded in reality and makes zero historical or political sense whatsoever. Before the Civil War, Southern Democrats defended slavery while Northern Democrats were split; by the 1930s–1960s, the party fractured again as Democratic presidents pushed civil‑rights legislation and many Southern Democrats left the party entirely. Black voters had already begun shifting toward Democrats during the New Deal, long before 1965, and immigration reform wasn’t a “trade” for their support. The 1965 law mainly abolished race‑based quotas and prioritized family reunification; it wasn’t designed as a cheap‑labor pipeline. Political coalitions in the U.S. have repeatedly realigned, which is why modern parties don’t map cleanly onto their 19th‑century versions. Northern Democrats changed significantly over the 20th century, the South moved from Democratic to Republican, and Black voters moved from Republican to Democratic. Treating these shifts as a single, unbroken strategy ignores the documented ideological changes, internal conflicts, and demographic realignments that actually shaped both parties. |
The only people I know of who use the term "leftist" are weird right wing ideologues and actual Marxists. Most normal people don't. |
People who use the term “leftist” fell for MAGA propaganda that we want wide open borders, babies to be killed after birth, kids to come home from school with a sex change, and to take all your guns aww (turns out that last one is Trump). Nope. We want equal rights and for people to be treated humanely. - signed, proud Leftist |
Northern Dems tended to represent working class people. In 1860, there were two separate Dem conventions due to the North/South split, and there ended up being two separate Democrat candidates. The spit vote got Lincoln elected. After the reconstruction there was an ongoing effort to establish a southern Republican wing (not counting the blacks who were elected in the reconstruction years) and there were a few Republicans in southern state legislatures and more at Republican nominating conventions, but basically the party was dead in the south until LBJ and Nixon's southern strategy. |
IDK. Let’s look at the composition of Northern Democrats in Congress v the composition of MAGAs and get back to us. |
Sounds like “Leftist” is squarely in the political nomenclature when people are willing to sign their posts with it. After Biden, Dems will never be able to run from their desire for open borders and stockpiling fake asylum seekers. Biden literally created a phone app to make it even easier for them. Kamala admitted she would change nothing. |
