I'm pretty sure in Rocky 4 America fought Russia.
Ofuk
Sketchy

Syria is a proxy war between Nato and Russia
The 60's caused things to get messy. The south still had plenty of Jim Crow dems but Kennedy and then Johnson moved civil right to the national stage culminating in the Civil Rights acts of '65 and '67 which were pushed through by Pres Johnson but had bipartisan support
Oh, and in Red Dawn too, i believe.
Bay of Pigglets invasion
lol
At the same time, though, many southern dems switched to become republicans.
Over Jim Crow
I'll have these niggars voting Democrat for the next 200 years
what a hero
Johnson was a racist but he cared about the poor, whether white or black
the syria war ended months ago
syria is proxy between US/nato/Isreal vs Russia/iran/syria VS turkey.
i was gonna say isnt he dead

(I'm a terribly typist :p )
rebels got crushed right
Syrian FM has called for refugees to come back
Korea was also a proxy war
and jordan and isreal reopened their borders
same with afganistan in the 80s
Anyway, whatever you believe about the Southern Strategy, Nixon saw broad support in the south including from elected officials that were unabashed Jim Crow racists
hahah
Fast forward to the 80's and Reagan's "War on Drugs". The laws were designed such that drugs used primarily by minorities carried much harsher penalties than drugs used primarily by whites. Crack cocaine versus powder being the best example. This resulted in vastly disproportionate numbers of black and Latino males getting felony charges. The impact of this reverberates in American culture to this day.
🤔
Now were there dems who voted for the unequal drug laws - yes.
I wonder who's idea it was for penalties to be more severe...I'm sure it was a bunch of white people in robes and not black community leaders.
Were there repubs who were skeptical? Not many, but some.
That's why I will agree that the idea of a "flip" as if it is gospel is inaccurate
But what we do have now is a democratic party that has the vast majority of black elected officials that exist in the US
Surprise surprise, my Civics teacher told me that in HS. An SJW (back when i didn't know what that was)
and I am sure they are the same party that will tell you that over and over again.
