MODERATORS
All the racist democrats left the party to join the Republican Party when democrats voted to give black peoples rights.
Even though the names of the two major parties haven't changed since 1854 (when the Republican Party replaced the Whigs), the ideological alignment of them has continued to shift, at least five times in total (or maybe six, if you count MAGA christo-fascism as separate from what the party was before).
I’ve always thought the MAGA phase was just an extension of what the party became during the George W and Obama years. Trump just exploited what was already there.
Reagan really started the christifascist plan into action.
Been a lot worse since 9/11 tho
Nixon used a 'Southern strategy' to get in in 1968.

I like to say that Nixon fed the base beer, Reagan made it grain alcohol punch, Bush Jr. pulled out the moonshine, and Trump gave them meth.
I like your metaphor 😂
