Imagine if violent criminals claimed there was a "big switch" in which criminals became cops & cops became criminals--sounds absurd, right? pic.twitter.com/LvEcPraBO9— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) September 27, 2017
Imagine if scientists claimed a "big switch" in which all the young people turned old while olds died and were replaced by new youngs— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 27, 2017
All the notorious villains of the civil rights era--such as Ark. Gov. Orval Faubus and Sheriff Bull Connor--were Democrats pic.twitter.com/c67kDTG98g— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) September 27, 2017
And most of the illustrious heroes of the civil rights movement too, like John Lewis, Shirley Chisholm, Fanny Lou Hamer, Maynard Jackson.... https://t.co/XNBnvxs3pD— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 28, 2017
Notorious villain Lester Maddox left Democrats for George Wallace party in 1976, turned Republican in 1992 for proto-Trumpian Pat Buchanan.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 28, 2017
Why did Jesse Helms and Bob Barr become Republicans in 1970, Trent Lott in 1972, Sam Yorty in 1980 and Phil Gramm in 1983?— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 28, 2017
Or Lincoln's view that the federal government could order states to change their entire economic system? I don't think so.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 28, 2017
.That's the Big Switch, @DineshDSouza. Lincoln's GOP was the party of powerful centralizing federal govt on all issues, not just slavery.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 28, 2017
Big-government FDR inherited Lincoln's big government mantle, though he couldn't extend it to civil rights (he wanted to)....— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 28, 2017
Integrationists Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Humphrey, McGovern, Carter, down to Clinton and Obama are Lincoln's heirs.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 28, 2017
GOP dumped all that stuff around 1920 to become the reactionary party, even though some civil rights supporters stuck with it...— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 28, 2017
...for another 60 years. After Reagan it was clear the GOP had no place for civil rights. That's when the Big Switch finished.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 28, 2017
