”Hey siri, what is a Dixie Democrat and what were their values? Do these values align with MAGA?”

People love bringing up democrats and slavery until you ask them a question like this and then it’s crickets.

It’s a fact that Dixie democrats in the current day would NOT vote for anyone in the current Democratic Party and would vote MAGA if they had a choice.

That’s not the hill I think anyone wants to die on, so this association needs to end.

Same with that stupid ass National Socialist vs Democrat vs Republican chart and it has things like abortions, takes guns, burns books, etc.

Even though National Socialists were and are 3rd way politics they viewed every aspect of society though racial lenses and gave favorable laws to the Aryans and ”took guns and performed abortions” on ”dirty blood”.

Take a 1939 German Citizen and lay out the 2024 Democrat platform and Republicans platform, which is gonna resonate the most with that German citizen?

The Dixiecrats were a segregationist breakaway group from the Democratic Party in 1948, pushing for states’ rights as a way to uphold Jim Crow laws. Their main values were racial segregation, opposition to civil rights, and preserving Southern traditions.

Fast forward to today, and neither major party fully aligns with Dixiecrat values. The Democratic Party has completely rejected them, becoming the main force behind civil rights, racial equality, and federal oversight to prevent discrimination. Meanwhile, MAGA Republicans do share some themes—like states’ rights, cultural conservatism, and opposition to federal overreach—but without the explicit segregationist stance. Some critics argue that certain MAGA rhetoric plays on racial resentment, but overall, it’s more about nationalism and anti-progressive policies than the old-school Dixiecrat segregationist agenda.

Basically, the Dixiecrats didn’t cleanly “switch” to either party, but their legacy influenced the realignment of Southern conservatives into the modern Republican Party.

It was rhetorical you fucking goon to prove the point that southern “democrats” that started the civil war are modern MAGA and parties 180° values in the 1970’s

Have y’all noticed that the majority of Tesla protestors are elderly whites? For a party claiming to be of “diversity” that speaks volumes.

The most liberal people today are old farts and young women, kinda of a weird demographic split.

Still hateful of African Americans though. Don’t believe me? Ask one if they love African Americans. Then ask if they love Elon.

Narcatistic display of a Republican. Its a way to not take ownership of there own flaws.

u/TheSkyNoLimits 4d ago

Just pointing it out.. but the titles for democrats and republicans have not been the same since inception. Following the New Deal by Roosevelt and the civil rights movement of the 50s/60s many southern conservatives moved from the democrats to the republicans. This lead up the the political policy support we have seen as consistent the last few decades.

I mean it is, but it’s also funny how those republicans where against state’s rights and for more federal intervention and now it’s the republicans pushing states rights.

i doubt my post went through. but why is switzerland mad? I just saw a instagram reel and then a reddit post sharing the same video of a organized protest wearing lowpoly middle finger hoods protesting trump.....but why? What did trump do to them?

Personally I believe (conspiracy) it was organized and funded by the government for social engineering. Its wayyyy to organized to just be a random protest with no real reason I can find at all.

Did anyone else see it and what are your thoughts? Because I have no clue why they were protesting in Switzerland of all places.

Its a history meme. The Republicans in Congress at the time pushed for abolition of slavery, especially the radical Republicans. Very few Democrats were in Congress as the majority had resigned their seats when the south seceded. Only Northern Democrats and one Andrew Johnson remained loyal to the Union, although they disagreed with President Lincoln and his handling of the war to an extent.

Anyway once the 13th amendment was proposed and adopted, the institution of slavery was outlawed in America.

However, two southern Democrat senators at the time of the Civil rights act filibustered for 9 days. It's really not that long ago.

u/deeziant 14d ago

Dixiecrats as they’re called and they were supported by Joe Biden.

u/NoticeAwkward1594 14d ago

I was incorrect. It was 18 Dems and 5 Republicans who were a no on the final passage. It lasted 54 days not 9.

Damn that’s a lot of days to filibuster against civil rights.
