    The problem with the Democratic Party from its founding by Jackson and Van Buren was its admirable belief in state's rights and a limited federal government fundamentally linked the Party to support of slavery. After Van Buren, every Democratic Presidential Administration through Buchanan's was a failure due to the slavery issue. The most egregious failure was the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which motivated Lincoln and others to form the Republican Party in 1854.

      No, we can blame the North. It utterly defeated the South but did not let them know it (like the allies did to Germany in WW2) so the South believes they won (like Trump in 2020) and continues to torment the rest of the country with the reactionary 19th century beliefs and morals (lack thereof.)

      Stop pretending that the GOP are covered in glory and is not just as bad. Both parties are a disgrace who follow the path of fringe groups rather than acting in the best interest of all Americans. Both need to get rid of idiots like AOC, Marjorie Taylor Green, Omar , Bowman, Gaetz, Bobert. .Neither puts unity and the best interests of America before catering to the interests of the fringe .

      ​@fishjj76 they only switch because of the failure of the Carter's term in office. Till the 80s most of the south including Texas voted Democrat. Texas last Democrat governor was in 94. Newt Gingrich campaign and made a lot of inroads in the late 70s and 80s to were the Republicans captured both houses in Clinton's term forcing him to work with Republicans and executive in the middle and making Gingrich the last great speaker of the house since all his successors are sellouts selling the country to the highest bidder.

    What a wonderful job, as always. As an amateur historian, I learned something I hadn’t known about his name’s pronunciation and his non-first language use of English. Of course, today the political poles in the US have flipped 180 degrees. The people who believe that we should always come together thru our government (which, after all is us!) to help those less fortunate and telling people like me who can easily afford it to shut up and pay for it are now Democrats, and the people who believe in self-determination without any help from OR FOR anyone else have become Republicans. I am a disciple of FDR, and believe we should always come together for everyone, with a large activist government of the people paid for by those according to their ability to pay. We did it that way here in the US from 1935-1980, and created the largest and most successful Middle Class the planet has ever seen. The rich were still obscenely rich, (ask me!) even paying 70% in taxes. Now, .5% of the people own 80% of the wealth, thanks to Ronald Reagan.

      That started at the local level during the Great Migration when the long-standing urban Democratic political machines started to integrate the transplants from the South in the same way they had other minority groups like Catholics and Jews immigrating to the United States from such places as Southern and Eastern Europe. It did take a bit more time for those trends to translate into national elections though.

      Fair but the same can be said of the GOP who sold out on the Jim Crow, caved on Reconstruction , Korean war , the McCarhy witch hunts, hanging in on the Vietnam war , etc. Let us stop pretending that either party is covered in glory but the same time they are not inherently evil ,,,, albeit both have become too extreme and cater to fringe groups rather than the interests of most Americans@@ericholdsworth6611
