Old school eagle Posted July 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Very few Democrats aligned themselves with JFK when he was president. Β Like the Republicans, he was socially, fiscally, and morally conservative. Β The majority of Democrats were from the south and hated Kennedy. Β Thatβs why he wasnβt able to get the Civil Rights and Voting Rights bills passed. When LBJ took over , he used strong arm tactics and blackmail to get get the Southern Democrats to vote the way Β he wanted them to. Β There were several gay Senators and congressmen who he threatened to out if they didnβt vote his way. Β One was Senator Russell from Georgia who was considered the most powerful man in the Senate. Β He also realized that BlacksΒ were getting more power politically with their civilΒ Β rights movement And if he gave them a little something they might change from Republican to Democrat. Β Thatβs when welfare and Medicare was passed. Β He gave them just enough to barely pay bills but not enough to get out of poverty. Β The problem was you couldnβt work and collect this government help, you had to be unemployed. Β He decided Blacks would rather have the free stuff and stay in poverty but would still vote for Democrats because they were getting something from them. Β He famously saidβIβll have those N*****s voting Democrat for 200 years. LBJ was right. Β Blacks realized they had to work to make a decent living but as group they still vote Democrat because they feel they are supposed to. Β They donβt want to go against the grain even if sometimes it doesnβt make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Β Thatβs why he couldnβt get the civil rights bill or the voting rights act passed. Β Over 60 percent of Democrats were against those bills while it was the republicans who were for them.Β LBJ was able to get the bills passed by using his strong arm tactics and blackmail to get the southern Democrats to vote for the bills. Β There were several gay congressmen who he threatened to outΒ if they didnβt vote like he wanted. Β Senator Russell from Georgia was one of them. Β JFK was very socially liberal ( like the republicans) but fiscallyΒ and morally conservative (also like theΒ Republicans).Β Until LBJ ,Blacks largely voted Republican but LBJ decided by giving the blacks enough welfare to live on and Medicare he could change their voting habits and he did. Β He famously said β I will have those n*****sΒ voting Democrat for 200 yearsβ. I just donβt understand why they sold their votes for just enough money to pay the bills but not enough to get out of poverty. TheyΒ were happy to just barely have enough to live on and felt that was worth their allegiance to the Democratic Party. Β β Both parties were mixed between liberal and conservative during JFKβs presidency. The βDixiecratsβ were formed in 1948 as a movement for conservatives to separate from the democrat party. The Dixiecrat party didnβt last long. Some went back to the Democratic Party and some switched to the Republican Party. So you had liberals and conservatives in both parties. JFK didnβt support integration when he was first elected. He first publicly planned on passing the Civil Rights Act around 6 months before he was killed. Neither party supported the bill at first. Both sides had to be coerced. In the end both sides got a majority vote. The republicans had a higher vote percentage wise but there were near twice as many democrats in the Β house and senate. I would guess it would probably be easier to coerce 10 people into seeing things your way then it would be to coerce 20. Anyway the bill was passed by LBJ, a democrat who is quoted saying βItβs an important gain, but I think we just delivered the south to the Republican Party for a long time to comeβ. And thatβs when even more conservatives switched than before and democrats began marketing to liberals. Rather theyβve been good for the black community since then is one thing but trying to pin the racist history of the 1800s and early 1900s on modern day democrats is a whole other thing. So when you mention the racist history of the democrats just make sure you say the βconservative democratsβ to be 100% accurate. Other than that your being deceptive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, the Republicans are not conservative, not by a long shot. There may be a few, but not many. Try as hard as you may to rewrite history, but it was your democrats that beat down MLK and his followers on the bridge, it was your democrats that blocked children from attending school and it was your democrats that turned out the dogs on peaceful protesters.
