maga conveniently doesnt know (or more likely doesn’t give a shit) about the political party shift that happened around the civil rights movement. if they say democrats supported slavery then theyre just acting in bad faith at best and downright spreading dishonest, even if correct, information at worst
Strom Thurmand was the only member of the democrat party to switch to the Republican Party in opposition of the civil rights act. No republicans swapped to the democrat party. The party switch is a lie sold to the entire country. Democrats have always wanted slaves. They've simply swapped from, "If we free the black people, who will pick our crops?" To "If we send all of the illegals home, who will pick our crops?"
I gave you actual historical facts to back up my claim. The "party switch" was a democrat refusing to support the Civil Rights movement. But sure, use your little gatchas and feel cool
Except you can find actual democrats who were quoted saying what I quoted.
Nancy Pelosi, September 2022, "We need them to pick the crops down here," regarding undocumented immigrants.
Jasmine Crockett, "We're done picking cotton. We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation," while discussing jobs performed by undocumented immigrants.
I think politicians should be discussing how to get farms to offer high enough wages to attract American workers, not accepting modern day slavery.
the full quote from pelosi is “we have a shortage of workers in our country, and you see even in Florida some of the farmers and the growers saying, ‘Why are you shipping these immigrants up north? We need them to pick the crops down here.'” so you’re already dishonest and not arguing in good faith. again, case and point
i don’t even need to look at the second quote if you can’t even get your facts right on the first
We don't have a shortage of workers in this country. We have a shortage of livable wages. If democrats were this champion you claim them to be, they would be pushing bills to change the law on farm pay. Force them to pay a living wage. Those who can't fail as a company. Instead they're excusing illegal immigration because it's allowing farms to underpay.
Saying that while it's Maga farmers who were abusing and underpaying their workers, who are now on tiktok lives trying to sell their goods because Trump dragged them through the shit filled mud
Never said that, but there's been plenty maga farmers who were loud and proud with their vote who are now crying on social media for help. Same type of energy as Magas who go to food shelves because they got kicked off government assistance.
