Hello I was just wondering when exactly did democrats and republicans switch views on things and how exactly that came to be ( also very sorry if this isn't specific enough)
This was answered very recently here, I believe, but I can't recall the post.
In any sense, I do still have this tab open with an excellent explanation of the party shift that began roughly 100 years ago and finalized in the 1960s during the civil rights movement.
