Many believe the Democrats and Republicans “switched sides” on race, civil rights, and big government during the 20th century. But is that really what happened? In this episode of Forgotten History, we uncover the truth behind the so-called "Party Switch" and examine how ideological coalitions—not names—shifted over time.
From Strom Thurmond to LBJ, from the KKK to Antifa, we peel back the myth that Republicans became the party of racism. Was there really a complete ideological switch between Democrats and Republicans? In this episode, we dive into the real history behind the “Party Switch” theory—examining the gradual shifts in political alignment, cultural influence, and voter bases from the Civil War to the modern era.
From the Southern Strategy to civil rights legislation and economic policy, we unpack the facts and myths surrounding one of the most controversial debates in American political history. Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.
