If you’re too clueless to know the parties did “switch” I feel for your son.

Damo called it that because it was Dutch who complained the most about people editing his comments.
THE SQUEAKIEST WHEELS GET THE GREASE
Is that so? Who told you that?
Almost always have a proof reader for picking up my typos but didn’t expect to find one here. Thanks for taking on the role.

You spend 12 - 16 hours here a day and you didn't know this?
Answer the question. Who supposedly told you that "Damo called it that because it was Dutch who complained the most about people editing his comments?
BTW, maybe you don't know what "legion" means. That'd be understandable if your parents disliked you enough to force you into a government school staffed with with unionized babysitters just to get you out of the house for a few hours.

Damo told us all by naming the new rule after Dutch!
Legion was a TV series about a super Mutant!
Is that your final answer? Damo said he called it that because it was Dutch who complained the most about people editing his comments by naming the new rule after Dutch?
It looks like I was right. Your parents disliked you enough to force you into a government school staffed with with unionized babysitters just to get you out of the house for a few hours. Poor thing.

Of course you have no real argument to support that. Yet I do.
First, parents tend to instill their values onto their kids. Sure there are rebellious teens and all but that typically goes away with maturity. For example in my household my grandparents were libertarian Republicans, as were my parents, as am I, and now my adult children. It's ludicrous to assert that an entire party switched its core values overnight. Then have the opposition switch its opposing values at the same time? Beyond ludicrous.
Next, look at the laws that were passed themselves. Supported by Republicans, and opposed by Democrats- some vehemently. It's most vocal opponent was later hyped to be "the conscience of the senate". Fucking laughable.
Next, note that the law passed in 1964 was nearly identical language that was written by Republicans, and opposed by Democrats, one hundred years prior.
Then there's the fact that Democrats still believe that the rich make money off the backs of the poor. Same as when they were actual slavers.
So the "Big Switch" is obviously just a lie. A very convenient one.
Since the simplest explanation is often the truth, here's one: Democrats came to the realization that putting physical chains on the black man wasn't working out for them, so they changed tactics. LBJ's strategy worked much better. Since then, the percentage of young blacks growing up fatherless has skyrocketed.
How's this for a real argument:
"The Solid South or Southern bloc was the electoral voting bloc of the states of the Southern United States for issues that were regarded as particularly important to the interests of Democrats in those states. The Southern bloc existed especially between the end of Reconstruction in 1877 and the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. During this period, the Democratic Party controlled state legislatures; most local and state officeholders in the South were Democrats, as were federal politicians elected from these states. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, Southern Democrats disenfranchised blacks in all Southern states, along with a few non-Southern states doing the same as well. This resulted essentially in a one-party system, in which a candidate's victory in Democratic primary elections was tantamount to election to the office itself. White primaries were another means that the Democrats used to consolidate their political power, excluding blacks from voting in primaries.[1]" Wikipedia.
Consider your own comment quoted in boldface. That doesn't suggest a "switch" to you?
Today, the South is as solid for Republicans as it once was for Democrats.

Wikipedia? That's fucking lame as hell.
The South started to shift towards Republicans in the 1950s, and it was due to economics, not race. Poor Southerners didn't switch parties until the 1990s.
Uh huh, you guys would say the same about Britannica. Every history text of the period not written with a political agenda will say the same.
Yes, the shift started before the Civil Rights movement which was a final straw not the beginning. Roosevelt’s liberal New Deal policies soured many Southern Democrats and neither Truman nor Kennedy interrupted the trend to the Right.
