Your list was not a list if the "large number" that became Republicans.

"YOU were the one who brought up 1952"

It was from Amos and I would still like to know what happened in 1952 that is relevant.

"For the first time since 1952...

Bobert: Yes I can and do accept the truth when it is supported by facts. All you have to do is present the facts.

Your facts consist of what if scenarios while facts bounce off of you like bullets off of Superman.

It is obvious that you do not have the facts needed to answer the question so you use pejoratives like "Rednecks" and claim anybody that disagrees is "Talibanish" You are the one that uses scare tactics to sway peoples opinions.

How many of the Dixiecrats joined the GOP?
It seems like some people are still confused about this, so let's go over it again.

For 100 years, the Republicans fought for the freedom and equality of blacks. Lincoln was a Republican, and he won the freedom from slavery for blacks. In 1957, Eisenhower sent the U.S. Army to Little Rock to force Democrat Governor Orval Fabus to desegregate the schools.

All of the racist bigots became Democrats after the Civil War because Lincoln was a Republican. For 100 years, Democrats were the ones who lynched blacks and made laws against blacks.

That's why most blacks were Republicans until the Democrats bought their votes [I'll have those n****rs voting Democratic for the next 200 years.] in 1964.

But even though the blacks switched parties in 1964, most racist bigots did not.

How many pre-1964 southern racist Democrat bigots did NOT join the Republican party after 1964?

Orval Fabus
Benjamin Travis Laney
John Stennis
James Eastland
Allen Ellender
Russell Long
John Sparkman
John McClellan
Richard Russell
Herman Talmadge
George Wallace
Lester Maddox
John Rarick
Robert Byrd
Al Gore, Sr.
Bull Connor

In fact, it seems that MOST of the Dixiecrats did NOT join the Republican party, even though many of them lived long past 1964.

Only a very FEW of them switched to the GOP, such as Strom Thurmond and Mills Godwin.

And as we all know by now, the LAST admitted former KKK member in Congress was Democrat Robert Byrd, a former KKK Kleagle, a recruiter who persuaded people to join the KKK. He filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

So where do we get this myth that "most" of the southern racist Democrats switched to the Republican party after 1964?
