There use to be a time when Republicans actually stood for something that matter.Lincoln ended slavery.The Republicans actually had real MORALS to cling to.In fact,the Democrats of the South,we the racist piece of trash of their time.These were known as "Dixiecrats"However,after the Civil Rights movement,the South slowly started rejecting Democrats because many Democrats helped to pass the Civil Rights.LBJ even said that the Democrats were finished for 100 years in the South after the passage of the Civil Rights bill.He has been right so far.Richard Nixon took advantage of this with his new "Southern" plan.Basically,it was having Republicans take advantage of the Souths anger towards the Democrats for passing the Cilvil Rights bill.So basically the racist Southern Whites would start voting for Republicans.The Republicans paln worked.Like I said though,Northern Republicans at least,helped end slavery and also wanted to help end the Jim Crow laws as well.The Republican party was started in New York state.The Northeast use to vote alot for Republicans.
My,how times do change.Now the Democrats are the party of progress,while most Republicans are the party of hate.Theres still a few Moderate Republicans in the Northeast.The Republicans Ive seen down here in Flordia and the South,for the most part,seem to be fairly intolerant people.The racial issue has improved yes.However,now its about bashing gays and anyone who isnt a Southern Baptist.Some parts of Flordia may be somewhat liberal to moderate.That mainly because alot of Northerns and Canadians have called Flordia home.However,in North Flordia,more rural area,the Panhandle area in particular,are still mostly fairly "Southern" parts that may be more intolerant.
