Keep in mind, that at the time of Truman, this was before/during the inversion/ swapping of the Democratic party/ Republican party (prior to implementation southern strategy).

You should probably read the article you linked.
Party ideology changed with Roosevelt. Truman was after him.
Not to mention the quote is accurate for today as-is.
You should “actually read the article”™
Party ideology started under Hoover. But it wasn’t until the civil rights act that things actually shifted substantially, almost 50 years later.
The article doesn’t mention the “southern strategy” but that was the real function that converted southern Republicans into the modern manifestation of the Republican party. That happened in the 60s.
You’re right, despite the downvotes.
In this thread: people who think LBJ was a true social democrat and Nixon didn’t have any strategy at all.
Eh. I’m used to it.
Or forgetting Wallace was Roosevelt’s VP twice and the Truman choice was a big party policy move.
Assuming Wallace is even known or acknowledged.
What’s funny is before I commented I was thinking “what was that famous racist Democrat’s name in the 60s?? Ah well.”You nailed it in one (Wallace) and I didn’t even remember he was FDR’s VP!Literally a segregationist.Different Wallace!
Wrong Wallace. Henry was FDRs VP and was a Progressive that fought for desegregation in the 40s. George is was the Alabaman segregationist in the 60s.
Oooh my bad.
Thanks for giving me the one I was thinking of in a roundabout way though!
