It was a different time in America. Blacks were still being lynched. Segregation & Jim Crow was alive & well. Jew Hatred was rampant. A woman’s place was in the home, cooking, cleaning & raising children. Stores were closed on Sundays. Gays were considered an abomination. It was a time of Joseph McCarthy & Richard Nixon. It was illegal to sell contraceptives in Connecticut. Liberal, Progressive democrats brought us Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid, access to health insurance, voting rights & a true end to segregation. The Republican Party was the party of hate. Through the years American politics underwent a metamorphosis leading to what exists today. It’s both good & evil. America has permitted extremists to dominate the discourse. The process was & is insidious. It made Trump so appealing. We can’t keep silent. Vote the individual not the party. Donate to just causes. Reject the demagogues & hold them accountable. Silence & fear sustains them.
boy howdy, you need to do a little learning....Voting Rights Act was opposed initially by several prominent Southern Democrats - including Albert Gore, father of future VP Al Gore
The South was primarily Democrat representation up until the mid 1990's.
You didn’t listen to conservatives for 50 years and now you have what you have. Good job, ‘liberals’.

"The Republican Party was the party of hate. "
This is a lie, and you know it to be a lie. You serve the interests of the worst people in the world by telling it.
Your view of history is very warped. "The Great Society" programs do not happen without Republicans. Democrats were blocking it.
“Liberal, Progressive democrats brought us Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid”
