You know about the idea that there was a party switch
Yeah, my mom lectures about this. Or used to when she taught polysci
I think it's a little different than what they say
This study is for modern presidents
Not talking about the study
Then what are you talking about?
How did parties switch according to you?
Well I'm about to get to that
Now back then it's fair to say that the Democrats were originally conservative, and the Republicans more liberal correct
You could clearly see it in the Civil War and events occurring after
However, today's Democratic liberals are not the liberals we would have seen back when the Republicans were liberals
In fact a liberal today (or a leftist rather) is completely different
An old fashion liberal today would be a rightwing libertarian
Probably because the terms liberal and conservative don’t mean jack shit
you should see what they're like in England
Oh in England it's a fuckin mess
yeah, I mean the Conservatives over there are elitist assholes, and the liberals are the ones trying to keep the elites in check
at least, that's what my English pen-pal says
Sounds like America
I think her mother is part of the Worker's Party or something
heck, she could have cared less when Prince Harry got married
Monarchies are lame af
these days? yes
I’d say in general
some people actually inaccurately compared the British Royal Family to welfare people
it isn't the same
much of their income doesn't actually come from taxes, it comes from collecting rent from property all over England
Although it should be made clear that the Republican party became a platform for both "true" liberals and conservatives. What came of the Democratic Party? (oh no)
the main players in the Democrap party lost their minds
it's creepy to watch
Dems feels the same way about the right
I thought I was gonna vomit when I saw how much the press loved Obama
Well I mean you are racist...
That makes sense
I'm amazed they didn't build solid gold statues of Obama in each news headquarters and kiss it on the ass for good luck
You talking to me?
Nah ladyA
he labeled me b/c of what I said about the 2 sub-groups of black people
and to say it doesn't come from the other side would be a lie
black people can be racist too
