It's kind of takes me back to history class it's just really fascinating how both parties changed throughout the years interviews and beliefs that people had versus what they believe in now
Love how they breezed over the 1990's and all the democratic laws that created the war on drugs. Joe Biden himself called black people "supercriminals". So yea, every time they breeze over a decade or 2 see what party starts putting forward laws that hurt African Americans. It's not as black and white as this video makes it, because you have to remember at the end of the day, white people make up the majority of the voter base so they will get priority no matter the party.
Yes. At the time, people didn't hold many of the values of racial equality that we do today(as a result of the civil rights movement). Most white Americans, republican or Democrat were white supremacist. They just disagreed on whether enslaving black people helped white people.

Many view a vote for a 3rd party a "waste of a vote." Therefore few are willing to vote for them for they think their vote no longer matters. That's not going to change anytime soon.
Race has always been political in the US. Most of our earliest politics were about slavery - including a lot of the constitution. It's probably one of the biggest underlying issues throughout American history (alongside the urban vs. rural divide).
@@camden7806 this is not disinfo only if ur a republican and don’t wanna admit you guys profit off slavery more than everyone else that’s why you guys wanted it no one else did
Yes, that was the period the Democratic Party became openly pro-labor and pro-unions, mostly influenced by Northern big-city "machines" set by the Irish Catholics. That was the period that laid the ground for FDR.
Its funny that you bring this up, because in the video when they said fast forward to the...I thought WHAT? You're just going to omit a huge piece of history? I dont know anything about what happened then, but I was automatically suspicious when they skipped it
My thoughts exactly. This video should be at least 5 minutes longer. I thought for sure they'd mention the southern strategy, the emergence of jim crow and the role of the civil rights movement (and southern strategy) in motivating southern whites to migrate away from the Democratic party. The took it easy on the Republicans...
They also skipped the neocon era of the Republican Party, it would have been great if they covered how defense was so important that the Republicans became the party of big government for a while.
Ya I feel like the government as a whole has just gone downhill overtime. There's gotta be an honest president that fights for our interests with kindness and wisdom.
Johnny's Credit Card what is real media? Breitbart? This is documented fact. Literally go into any library or he’ll look it up on Wikipedia! It’s not partisan to say that the parties switched voter bases and their stances on issues! It’s just the truth.
The video isn't a complete history, but it did note the Republicans became the party of big business in the 1920's. Theodore Roosevelt was president from 1901 to 1909. Still, a complete history of the party would be more interesting.
It's all related to maturity, as the more mature you are the more likely you are to admit your wrong when necessary. Democrats tend to lean towards immaturity, while Conservatives lean towards simply taking facts, statistics, quotes out of their original context and being a tad bit slow. And that's why I'm not a Democrat, nor a Conservative. They're both awful, they're just arguing who's worse. Democrats have leaned towards communism, Conservatives have leaned towards having a more white base, BUT Libertarians have stood their ground. Libertarians aren't putting awful extremists up as their presidential candidates. THAT is the best political party, and I get that your skeptical, it's only natural. But, if you actually are a person that cares about facts and the prospering of our country, I would look into the Libertarian party.

@ΓΡΗΓΟΡΗΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ Definitely NOT saying LBJ wasn't a racist, however he did more for black people in America than any other president since Lincoln and FDR, so although he was a racist, I think there are other more valid reasons as to why he wasn't that great of a president (Heightening the Vietnam Conflict).
Pretty sure there was an ideological switch, because there where many more party changes then portrayed in the video. I'm pretty sure the modern democratic party wasn't even around back then with the whiggs.
@Dylan Campbell Sure public healthcare sounds good, but that's under the price of pharmaceutical innovations. Guess who's been the top pharmaceutical innovation country in the world? Yes America, not Britain, not China, not Sweden. America. I'm not saying that America doesn't need a healthcare reformation, but the solution is not gonna be public healthcare for all.
Honestly, I'm not sure that modern politics can work without political parties. As a former UK politician myself who has stood both as an independent and as a party candidate, it's very difficult to communicate your views and values to voters as an independent. People's time is increasingly limited, so very few people want to spend 20 minutes each learning about individual candidates. Party affiliation gives voters a handy shortcut - an affiliated candidate may be slightly to the left or to the right on a particular party's political spectrum, but as a voter you know roughly what you're getting. The most local level of government in my area essentially banned party affiliations about 10 years ago, and the result has ended up being far fewer candidates standing (to the point where the last election was uncontested) and voter turnout at far lower levels than councils at the same level of government but which do allow party affiliation.
I have a saying since I realized how much politics have changed in the USA (and also since I started showing interest in politics): NEVER look at a party and what they "represent". Always focus on the individual who wants to be at the top and treat every person as individual. Listen to what they say and compare it to what they do or what they have done. Only then will you realize who you are voting for.
Absolutely. You know, when people look at Presidential Candidates, they never seem to look at what they may have stood for say 20-30 years ago, and what they have done since then. Ive seen a-lot of videos of Political Candidates talking, Biden, Trump, Hillary. And how much they have changed to accommodate their campaign and win over voters today. And if people looked at that, they would realize who and what they are voting for, to a certain extent.
Best political internet interaction, paraphrased: “What if we don’t group a variety of unique ideals and suggestions into just two colours” “Sounds like something someone from the other colour would say. Get em boys”
@Snow Cone Well actually he fought against the current divisiveness that we see today between the Democrats and Republicans. As many democrats and republicans would agree today, too many people are partisan and would vote for their party regardless, instead of doing what George Washington proposed which is to remain individuals instead of joining parties. He knew people wouldn't listen to him, but wanted to state the fact anyways and hoped others would heed his warning. Not only did he know, but he mentioned that every government that has had them has said that political parties are the enemy of government and actually weakened the government. There are legitimate reasons why he said not to create or join in on the idea of political parties. He told everyone not to do it, not because he thought it would stop them, but because he hoped it would. People didn't listen to him and now we are currently experiencing the worst, most divided nation ever.
@Snow Cone Wow. You completely missed my point. I was saying he isn't being naive. He knew that saying it wouldn't prevent it from happening, but is saying nothing better? Speaking up is always the better option than being quiet, regardless of if it affects change. He wasn't being naive. Of course everyone has partisan leanings or falls under a group that they agree with more, but his point originally was to prevent divisiveness. This was prior to a party system, so it's different than people who say partisanship is bad today. He saw where the country was headed because during his first term and second term with the creation of political parties. You and I only disagree on the fact that speaking out is a better choice than letting sleeping dogs lie.
@Snow Cone I think coming up with more reasonable alternatives would have been more helpful, but that's also coming from much further in the future. Something like Italy's coalitions with a multi party system would at least be a little better, but now we need to focus on things that will improve our elections and decrease divisiveness. Since we're already in a two party system, full reform is very unlikely like you said. One example, preferential voting would help third parties actually stand a chance in elections, where as currently they do not. Alleviating the two party systems is definitely a goal I hope we'll fight for in the next few years.
Yes. Teddy pulled the Progressively out of the Republican party. When that election was over, many never went back. This was a major shirt that saw the Republican party owned more by corporate overlords and the Democratic party getting its first real injection of Progressives.
not only Roosevelt, he skipped about 25 other post-Lincoln presidents. Some of them were less influential, but it's clearly an oversimplified explanation. Still interesting even if very limited.
@@stinkypoopybutt8303 If we're doing a full timeline of the democratic party then this is the only one that actually makes sense. We can't just stop at Clinton.
@@Tanner404can you explain this party shift to me? What happened they just one day said “hey switch teams after over a hundred years” stop believing everything you’re told without do research for yourself
@@noahh687 The whole point of the video is talking about the party switch. Think about it, Lincoln was a republican elected by northern states with a progressive agenda of not expanding slavery, opposed by the entire south. The exact opposite of how the republican party is today
What’s often missed is that most districts outside of the city centers in every region North, South, East and West are predominantly Republican. Having been raised in an Illinois Republican family I will say that I never heard them praise the Confederacy growing up but a lot of love for figures like Lincoln instead. Though of course the South is a different matter and the one focused on most due to how the electoral college set up really boosts their significance on the national stage.
So every Republican you know is out there flying confederate flags? Both parties supported the Civil Rights Act. The democratic party becoming less racist and voting demographics changing in the south for a multitude of complex reasons doesn't constitute a "switch." There are racists individuals out there but just become some also support small government didn't make them that way.
@@Cameron-ki1qx actually, the Democrats filibustered for sixty days to attempt to stop the civil rights act from passing. The Republicans fought for it.

Black Classic Republican here. I believe we can be pro business, pro black, and pro america together. I'm not 100% opposed to the left as I do like some ideas they present. We should be willing to hear each other out. Peace everyone
Exactly! I’m a liberal, and lately I can barely have a normal conversation with my republican friends. The two party system was to have two sets of ideals, and still being able to work with the other side. I may not 100% agree with republicans, but I am able to live with them, like it should be.
Then why support a racist president? I'm not black, but if I were I'd definitely want some kind of representation. Where's the black representation in the republican party? In Trump's cabinet? Is Trump helping you guys out when he gives open commands to white supremacist groups on national TV? I just don't understand it...
@@mongorians22 that statement is one of the reasons why many black people refuse to align with Democrats. We don't need to see black faces in the administration as much as we need policy that champions black growth.
This indeed is the logical conclusion. Both parties have good presidents, but both also have bad presidents. Democrats have Bill Clinton. Republicans have Reagan. Democrats have Woodrow Wilson. Republicans have Bush. There are freedom minded people on both sides, just like there are tyrants on both sides. The trouble is it is hard to separate the 2 until you see them in office.
henry morgan Why? Do you think libertarian stands for something besides minimum government? As far as recent presidents go, Reagan had the most minimalistic policies, Clinton was forced towards minimalistic policies because he couldn't pass the laws he wanted with a republican congress. On the other hand, Bush passed some very tyrannical laws such as the economic stimulus and the expansion of medicare. Woodrow Wilson was the most tyrannical democrat president that came to mind. Though honestly Obama passing Obamacare is pretty bad on the list too.
Being libertarian stands for individual freedoms above everything. It also stands for reaching a balanced budget. Also, not trying to be rude, but I don't see how listing presidents and how they were minimalistic or tyrannical contributes to your argument, which seems to be that libertarian stands for nothing but minimum government.

A divide is a divide, that's all thank you. Progressive and Conservative, as applied to ideologies, an ideological simplicity. Roughly speaking, 70% of humans are Conservative. Roughly speaking, 30% of humans are free-floating or noncommittal without being inherently or necessarily flexible, liberal, moldable, etc. This 70/30 is human. We can expect that if you have two parties, both the 70 and the 30 are represented 50% in one party and 50% on the other party. So, 70% of Democrats and 70% of Republicans are Conservative, and 30% of Democrats and 30% of Republicans are Progressive. We can generally reason that concepts like bell or standard curves, regression to the mean, statistics, etc. would control or best explain divides than ideologies as self & other platforms or mantras or "history". P.S. Conservatives conserve, progressives discard. So, 70% on each party conserves, and 30% discards. Conservative does not mean that 70% of Democrats are God-fearing, nor does progressive have to mean that 30% of Republicans are godless.

@@bruhman5330 That has proven to be an overwhelmingly false claim by all accounts.

The Southern Strategy. Republicans were the progressive Party until Johnson passed the Civil Rights act of 1964 ending segregation. This enraged white southern racists who were then immediately courted by Richard Nixon, who began campaigning in southern states. This is how the Republican party became overwhelmingly white, while the Democratic party became much more diverse and progressive.
This video isn't bashing Trump. It's just explaining how the Republicans went from being the progressive party, to the uh....well, not so progressive party.

Democrats were the slave owners and the original KKK. It's only because they requested and signed off on the Civil Rights Act, that black people joined the Democratic Plantation en masse, and became the new slaves to the modern-day welfare state that destroyed the black family and black community.
+Abraham Mercado Your implication is that the Republicans of today have anything at all in common with the racist DemoKKKrats. Like everyone who claims this, you offer no proof- and in fact, there is proof AGAINST this, as literally every kkk member who has gone on to be a player in politics has been a Democrat, the most notable of course being Robert Byrd, who at one point (in this past decade no less) was third in line to succeed the president. This is of course to say nothing of all the times prominent Democrats have been caught expressing racist opinions or thoughts... And the complete lack therof with Republican politicians doing the same.
MasterFhyl I don't follow. Robert Byrd when elected in 1957 was a Southern Democrat and actually filibustered against the Civil Rights Act. He later denounced any involvement with the Klan and regretted filibustering. Again, context. He went from one extreme like segregation (So. Democrat views) to another, denouncing it (modern Democrat view). Had he sticked to his segregationist views and not changed, more than likely he'd be a Republican (look up the Southern Strategy, therein lies all the facts you need). I'm not saying all Dems are not racist. It exists, but to paint the brush of what the Dems did centuries ago and try to pass it as the party of inequality is just not true and very misleading.
Abraham Mercado Well that's circular logic if I've ever seen it. "He's not a racist because he stayed a Democrat, because if had switched to Republican then he'd be a racist." You are of course, showing no proof for any of this. I won't claim to know what was in Byrd's heart, but he was not just some rank and file KKK member, he was a leader, a recruiter even- you don't become a recruiter for anything unless you believe in it well enough to gain converts. It strikes me that it became politically advantageous for him to denounce the KKK, because you will find NO ONE on either side who officially supports the KKK. Hell.. in *one* of the parties, being a former Klansman is enough to get you blacklisted forever... But uh.. it isn't the Democrat party."
It was not Reagan’s bill, not his idea. Congress writes and passes laws. He signed it after being convinced by business groups in farming and construction and that it would help with the Hispanic vote in Texas, for example. Which it has.
To this day the largest business groups, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, support real immigration reform (not walls, and fear-mongering) because they see the value of immigrants to various essential industries. American business leaders are frustrated by the GOP using immigration to rile up its base for each election instead of legislating a longterm solution.
Which would've been great, because it would've shown that American politics in general have moved to the right. Reagan today would probably be seen as a neoliberal like Joe Biden. Now as the GOP has gone far right with Trump, the Democrats are trying mainly to appeal to moderate Republicans who hate Trump.
I'm a swing voter. I previously voted for Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, Trump, Biden. That's about as swing as you can get. The Republican party to me now has taken a drastic violent turn, which had some influence on the attack on our Capitol building. I'm not too thrilled with the job Biden is doing now. I do think he took Covid-19 much more serious than Trump. On the Republican side now, I will not support Trump again. I would support Mitt Romney, Liz Chaney. Of the Democrat's, I would support Stacey Abrams ( Georgia), Andy Brashear ( Ky.) I understand the political divide, to a degree it's good, but it is grown into hatred, and hate filled rage. We are all still American's.
I also have a GOP friend who is DONE WITH TRUMP. He predicts the GOP is gonna turn on him after the 2022 election. With whatʻs coming out of the Jan 6 Committee....that might be the smart move. Its gonna be so interesting to see who the GOP nominates in 2024, esp after Youngkin took VA.

"The northern states decided to fight to keep the union together." Incorrect. The southern states attacked first, the federal forces at Fort Sumter in South Carolina.
This comment is wrong. The north always wanted the union to stay together, they simply wished it could be done peacefully. When the south attacked at Fort Sumter, it became clear that force would be necessary to reunify. The civil war was a war for reunification, Ft Sumter just happens to be the spark that lit the fuse.
It does over time, but then during these last 4 years focuses on the Republican party and ignores the progressive movement that Bernie was a figurehead of that could best be seen as a power struggle for the heart of the Democratic party (establishment vs distrust of the establishment and radical progrssivism).
Indeed they did, and that's because, as the video (and most historical sources) show, at the time the Democrats were the conservative party (let's keep slavery as it is and not change) and it unquestionably was the party of racial hatred and discrimination. But after the shift in recent history that is no longer the case. The democrats now seem to be in the position of wealthy Republicans back in the post Lincoln days: "we've done enough for the working class and minority groups, now let's just keep the power structure going." The Bernie movement was the masses forcing the Democratic establishment to continue working for the masses with a threat of non-support in the upcoming elections. That's something that's worth exploring, don't you think?

So let me get this straight, the majority of americans wanted to abolish slavery due to economical reason?
Yes. At the time, people didn't hold many of the values of racial equality that we do today(as a result of the civil rights movement). Most white Americans, republican or Democrat were white supremacist. They just disagreed on whether enslaving black people helped white people.
sounds about right. Remember, the American government and economy is based off of Capitalism, which means big businesses

Goodmorning

I thought for sure they'd mention the southern strategy, the emergence of jim crow and the role of the civil rights movement (and southern strategy) in motivating southern whites to migrate away from the Democratic party.

It's all related to maturity, as the more mature you are the more likely you are to admit your wrong when necessary. Democrats tend to lean towards immaturity, while Conservatives lean towards simply taking facts, statistics, quotes out of their original context and being a tad bit slow.
And that's why I'm not a Democrat, nor a Conservative. They're both awful, they're just arguing who's worse. Democrats have leaned towards communism, Conservatives have leaned towards having a more white base, BUT Libertarians have stood their ground. Libertarians aren't putting awful extremists up as their presidential candidates. THAT is the best political party, and I get that your skeptical, it's only natural. But, if you actually are a person that cares about facts and the prospering of our country, I would look into the Libertarian party.

ensayofr Democrats will listen better
We havent falled for 200 yr what to u mean
Honestly, I'm not sure that modern politics can work without political parties. As a former UK politician myself who has stood both as an independent and as a party candidate, it's very difficult to communicate your views and values to voters as an independent. People's time is increasingly limited, so very few people want to spend 20 minutes each learning about individual candidates. Party affiliation gives voters a handy shortcut - an affiliated candidate may be slightly to the left or to the right on a particular party's political spectrum, but as a voter you know roughly what you're getting.
The most local level of government in my area essentially banned party affiliations about 10 years ago, and the result has ended up being far fewer candidates standing (to the point where the last election was uncontested) and voter turnout at far lower levels than councils at the same level of government but which do allow party affiliation.
It's already happening, this country was doomed from the start :(
I have a saying since I realized how much politics have changed in the USA (and also since I started showing interest in politics):
NEVER look at a party and what they "represent". Always focus on the individual who wants to be at the top and treat every person as individual. Listen to what they say and compare it to what they do or what they have done. Only then will you realize who you are voting for.
Absolutely. You know, when people look at Presidential Candidates, they never seem to look at what they may have stood for say 20-30 years ago, and what they have done since then. Ive seen a-lot of videos of Political Candidates talking, Biden, Trump, Hillary. And how much they have changed to accommodate their campaign and win over voters today. And if people looked at that, they would realize who and what they are voting for, to a certain extent.
that why i will always vote for Obama.

And why doesn't VOX do how did the Democrat party go from Andrew Jackson to Ocasio-Cortez!??!
@Snow Cone Well actually he fought against the current divisiveness that we see today between the Democrats and Republicans. As many democrats and republicans would agree today, too many people are partisan and would vote for their party regardless, instead of doing what George Washington proposed which is to remain individuals instead of joining parties. He knew people wouldn't listen to him, but wanted to state the fact anyways and hoped others would heed his warning. Not only did he know, but he mentioned that every government that has had them has said that political parties are the enemy of government and actually weakened the government. There are legitimate reasons why he said not to create or join in on the idea of political parties. He told everyone not to do it, not because he thought it would stop them, but because he hoped it would. People didn't listen to him and now we are currently experiencing the worst, most divided nation ever.
@Snow Cone Wow. You completely missed my point. I was saying he isn't being naive. He knew that saying it wouldn't prevent it from happening, but is saying nothing better? Speaking up is always the better option than being quiet, regardless of if it affects change. He wasn't being naive. Of course everyone has partisan leanings or falls under a group that they agree with more, but his point originally was to prevent divisiveness. This was prior to a party system, so it's different than people who say partisanship is bad today. He saw where the country was headed because during his first term and second term with the creation of political parties. You and I only disagree on the fact that speaking out is a better choice than letting sleeping dogs lie.
@Snow Cone I think coming up with more reasonable alternatives would have been more helpful, but that's also coming from much further in the future. Something like Italy's coalitions with a multi party system would at least be a little better, but now we need to focus on things that will improve our elections and decrease divisiveness. Since we're already in a two party system, full reform is very unlikely like you said. One example, preferential voting would help third parties actually stand a chance in elections, where as currently they do not. Alleviating the two party systems is definitely a goal I hope we'll fight for in the next few years.
You skipped Teddy Roosevelt, A Republican who busted trusts and monopolies.
Yes. Teddy pulled the Progressively out of the Republican party. When that election was over, many never went back. This was a major shirt that saw the Republican party owned more by corporate overlords and the Democratic party getting its first real injection of Progressives.
Ah Teddy Roosevelt, a model PROGRESSIVE and LIBERAL.
not only Roosevelt, he skipped about 25 other post-Lincoln presidents. Some of them were less influential, but it's clearly an oversimplified explanation. Still interesting even if very limited.
Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower are 2 Republicans that should not be skipped over when talking about Republican trends, history, and importance.

What’s often missed is that most districts outside of the city centers in every region North, South, East and West are predominantly Republican. Having been raised in an Illinois Republican family I will say that I never heard them praise the Confederacy growing up but a lot of love for figures like Lincoln instead. Though of course the South is a different matter and the one focused on most due to how the electoral college set up really boosts their significance on the national stage.
I live in the south,Youd be hard pressed to find actual racism from a Republican I promise
So every Republican you know is out there flying confederate flags? Both parties supported the Civil Rights Act.

This indeed is the logical conclusion. Both parties have good presidents, but both also have bad presidents. Democrats have Bill Clinton. Republicans have Reagan. Democrats have Woodrow Wilson. Republicans have Bush. There are freedom minded people on both sides, just like there are tyrants on both sides. The trouble is it is hard to separate the 2 until you see them in office.
Am I the only libertarian here?✋😂
henry morgan Why? Do you think libertarian stands for something besides minimum government? As far as recent presidents go, Reagan had the most minimalistic policies, Clinton was forced towards minimalistic policies because he couldn't pass the laws he wanted with a republican congress. On the other hand, Bush passed some very tyrannical laws such as the economic stimulus and the expansion of medicare. Woodrow Wilson was the most tyrannical democrat president that came to mind. Though honestly Obama passing Obamacare is pretty bad on the list too.
Being libertarian stands for individual freedoms above everything. It also stands for reaching a balanced budget. Also, not trying to be rude, but I don't see how listing presidents and how they were minimalistic or tyrannical contributes to your argument, which seems to be that libertarian stands for nothing but minimum government.

The true divide has always been progressive versus conservative ideologies.
Slavery was progressive ideology ?
@@drakebudasz8837
It was the conservative British that brought it into the US and the conservative Democrats that fought to keep it in the US. It was the progressives that fought and beat the conservatives in the Civil War.
A divide is a divide, that's all thank you.
Progressive and Conservative, as applied to ideologies, an ideological simplicity.
Roughly speaking, 70% of humans are Conservative. Roughly speaking, 30% of humans are free-floating or noncommittal without being inherently or necessarily flexible, liberal, moldable, etc. This 70/30 is human.
We can expect that if you have two parties, both the 70 and the 30 are represented 50% in one party and 50% on the other party.
So, 70% of Democrats and 70% of Republicans are Conservative, and 30% of Democrats and 30% of Republicans are Progressive.
We can generally reason that concepts like bell or standard curves, regression to the mean, statistics, etc. would control or best explain divides than ideologies as self & other platforms or mantras or "history".
P.S.
Conservatives conserve, progressives discard.
So, 70% on each party conserves, and 30% discards.
Conservative does not mean that 70% of Democrats are God-fearing, nor does progressive have to mean that 30% of Republicans are godless.

The Southern Strategy.
Republicans were the progressive Party until Johnson passed the Civil Rights act of 1964 ending segregation. This enraged white southern racists who were then immediately courted by Richard Nixon, who began campaigning in southern states. This is how the Republican party became overwhelmingly white, while the Democratic party became much more diverse and progressive.

Democrats were the slave owners and the original KKK. It's only because they requested and signed off on the Civil Rights Act, that black people joined the Democratic Plantation en masse, and became the new slaves to the modern-day welfare state that destroyed the black family and black community.
There is a staunch difference between Southern Democrats and modern day Democrats. Context, you obviously don't have it.
+Abraham Mercado Your implication is that the Republicans of today have anything at all in common with the racist DemoKKKrats. Like everyone who claims this, you offer no proof- and in fact, there is proof AGAINST this, as literally every kkk member who has gone on to be a player in politics has been a Democrat, the most notable of course being Robert Byrd, who at one point (in this past decade no less) was third in line to succeed the president. This is of course to say nothing of all the times prominent Democrats have been caught expressing racist opinions or thoughts... And the complete lack therof with Republican politicians doing the same.
MasterFhyl I don't follow. Robert Byrd when elected in 1957 was a Southern Democrat and actually filibustered against the Civil Rights Act. He later denounced any involvement with the Klan and regretted filibustering. Again, context. He went from one extreme like segregation (So. Democrat views) to another, denouncing it (modern Democrat view). Had he sticked to his segregationist views and not changed, more than likely he'd be a Republican (look up the Southern Strategy, therein lies all the facts you need). I'm not saying all Dems are not racist. It exists, but to paint the brush of what the Dems did centuries ago and try to pass it as the party of inequality is just not true and very misleading.
Abraham Mercado Well that's circular logic if I've ever seen it. "He's not a racist because he stayed a Democrat, because if had switched to Republican then he'd be a racist."
You are of course, showing no proof for any of this.
I won't claim to know what was in Byrd's heart, but he was not just some rank and file KKK member, he was a leader, a recruiter even- you don't become a recruiter for anything unless you believe in it well enough to gain converts.
It strikes me that it became politically advantageous for him to denounce the KKK, because you will find NO ONE on either side who officially supports the KKK. Hell.. in *one* of the parties, being a former Klansman is enough to get you blacklisted forever... But uh.. it isn't the Democrat party."
So how come Ronald Regans amnesty bill didn’t get brought up in this video? He’s the reason all my family has citizenship right now
It was not Reagan’s bill, not his idea. Congress writes and passes laws. He signed it after being convinced by business groups in farming and construction and that it would help with the Hispanic vote in Texas, for example. Which it has.
To this day the largest business groups, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, support real immigration reform (not walls, and fear-mongering) because they see the value of immigrants to various essential industries. American business leaders are frustrated by the GOP using immigration to rile up its base for each election instead of legislating a longterm solution.
Which would've been great, because it would've shown that American politics in general have moved to the right. Reagan today would probably be seen as a neoliberal like Joe Biden. Now as the GOP has gone far right with Trump, the Democrats are trying mainly to appeal to moderate Republicans who hate Trump.

Do you have one focusing on the Democratic party as well?
The video does talk about the changes in ideology and voter demographics for both parties.
It does over time, but then during these last 4 years focuses on the Republican party and ignores the progressive movement that Bernie was a figurehead of that could best be seen as a power struggle for the heart of the Democratic party (establishment vs distrust of the establishment and radical progrssivism).
The Democratic Party created the KKK. One of their "progressive values" at the time.
Indeed they did, and that's because, as the video (and most historical sources) show, at the time the Democrats were the conservative party (let's keep slavery as it is and not change) and it unquestionably was the party of racial hatred and discrimination. But after the shift in recent history that is no longer the case. The democrats now seem to be in the position of wealthy Republicans back in the post Lincoln days: "we've done enough for the working class and minority groups, now let's just keep the power structure going." The Bernie movement was the masses forcing the Democratic establishment to continue working for the masses with a threat of non-support in the upcoming elections. That's something that's worth exploring, don't you think?
