Yup, all those southern Democrats abandoned the party and swapped to GOP because of these bills, as seen by the plummeting number of Democrats that hated these bills and the constant rise of Republican opposition.
Not sure what your point is here, you're highlighting that the evolution of partisan racism in America was fueled with a mass exodus of anti-rights politicians from D to R.
But you be you and keep living in one snapshot of the past.

Oh yea you're talking about the dixiecrats. Yea that was 1948. 3 dixiecrats moved to the republican side and the rest were absorbed back into the democratic party.

And they're still Democrats? C'mon, quit being a troll making up arguments that don't hold water. You and I and everyone in the world all know your argument is fake, referencing one year ignores the political movement of southern realignment completely.

Why is it that every time the civil rights movement comes up there is always some asshole who conveniently forgets the pivot of the two parties in 1964. The Democrats who opposed the civil rights movement of the 60s are the current Republican party. You assholes aren't the party of Lincoln, you're the party of trump. Stop trying to tell people the Democrats are the real racists when it's the GOP that gets the support of the KKK and other domestic terrorists groups.

But the take away is: What the fuck is your point? I wasn’t a democrat back then. I wasn’t even alive back then. Why the fuck does it matter what democrats voted for in the 40s in terms of what the parties stand for today aside from academic trivia? It’s clearly not what democrats stand for today.
I sure hope you’re not someone who gets their knickers in a twist when stuff like reparations and history lessons about slavery making people “feel bad” hit the headlines, because you’re essentially advocating for people today being tied to what people 80 years ago did as a fucked-up “gotcha” piece of garbage.

Honestly, it's a fascinating topic and I'm happy to answer any questions you'd have - Wikipedia has some basic info. I've debated doing a YouTube channel with stuff like this for years too but I'm no good at video editing.
The paper compared the 1934 / 1964 / 1994 elections and analyzed them as realignment years. (My conclusion was these were massive "wave" elections like 2010 and 2018 but realignments are generational and not able to pinpoint to one specific event.)
I'm happy to discuss the academics behind it with you or anyone interested. Don't ask me to dig up the old statistical regressions or plot charts though, I'd have to go to the attic to find the original paper.

This is exactly why we need to change the rules to state that a person cannot run for two offices at the same time. If you are a State Representative and you want to run for Congress, then you run for Congress. That way another person can run for your now-vacant State Representative position and we won't see situations like this happen again.
Are the Republicans playing dirty? Yes.
But ultimately this is the fault of Summer Lee for running for PA House and the House of Representatives in the same election. She created the situation herself. If Summer Lee and Austin Davis had only run for higher office (Congress and Lt. Gov) and allowed others to run for their state-level offices, Democrats would control the State House and this wouldn't be an issue.

A quick lookup (article VI, Sectional 628) has me thinking that the next set of elections (primary, municipal, or general) will have to include the special elections, right? But that assumes that the presiding officer of the legislative branch filed the appropriate writs. Do we know if that happened? Last, and not least, there's a clause that says under certain conditions the presiding officer can just choose to not hold the special election if they deem it not in the public interest. Is that what's at stake here - republicans claiming legislation leadership and just cancelling the special elections entirely?

themollusk t1_j2y28rd wrote
>But what exactly is wrong with letting the voters decide on amendments??
In theory and on paper? Nothing.
The issue is with how it's implemented and the threshold for passing. The US Constitution takes 2/3 of the House and Senate, and then 3/4 of the states to agree to it before an amendment goes through. In PA all it takes is 50% + 1 at every step of the process. The state GOP had been abusing the process in order to pass unpopular legislation that they wouldn't be able to muster enough votes to override a D governor's veto. For something as serious as amending the construction, a larger consensus should be made, not a skin of the teeth majority.

It’s the most popular home defense gun. Break ins occur with groups of intruders these days. A rifle evens those odds. There are more AR-15s than F-150s in America. The F-150 is the most popular selling vehicle in this country and must be registered. An AR-15 in most states doesn’t need registration so there are even more than we know about.
I keep an AR-15 in a safe in my bedroom. Considering a break in occurs while sleeping, being tired vs wide awake attackers, the 30 round standard magazine and the low recoil of the smaller 5.56 round leaving a 16” barrel means I have the advantage. Why do I need this over other options? It’s my fucking home. If someone comes here to do harm to me or my family, I want every advantage over them. I don’t want a fair fight. I want to win. (Obviously I’d prefer no fight and no break in)

I'm generally I'm favor of some forms of firearm regulation.
People on the left need to stop calling standard ARs powerful guns. They're easy and comfortable to shoot. They're highly customizable. They are the same form factor and fire the same rounds as a standard military select fire weapon. But they're not 'powerful' guns relative to most of the things an average gun owner may own. The round a standard AR shoots is just barely legal for deer hunting in most states based on size.
The bullet a standard AR shoots carries almost half the energy that a normal hunting round carries.
Edit: And to actually answer your question about in what scenario I felt like I wanted one, I bought one specifically for pig hunting in the southern US. It's simply one of the best options for that. I haven't had one charge me yet, but I don't want to be fumbling with a bolt or a more cumbersome gun if one ever does. There are a lot of other very similar options that most people wouldn't associate with the military that I could have gotten, but the AR is widely available and can be relatively inexpensive.
