Like a lot of Democrats, he's relying on the big switch. That's the idea that 
the Democrats got racially enlightened and became the good guys, whereas the 
racists in the Democratic Party all became Republicans.

The big switch seems to be supported by the fact that blacks, who used to vote 
Republican, did switch over to the Democratic Party. Also, Southern whites, who 
used to uniformly vote Democratic, now vote Republican.

Then there's Senator Strom Thurmond, the racist Democrat who became a 
Republican.

Even many Republicans today believe in the big switch.

But wait a minute. Blacks switched to the Democratic Party in the 1930s, based 
on the promises of the New Deal. They didn't do it because of race.

Many reluctantly moved to the Democratic Party, knowing they were joining the 
party of segregation and the Ku Klux Klan.

Southern whites moved over to the Republican Party much later, during the 70s 
through the 90s, as the South became more prosperous.

Racism had declined dramatically in the South. So, as the South became less 
racist, it became more Republican.

So, blacks and whites both switched parties for economic reasons. 

The proof of this is in Byron Shafer and Richard Johnston's book, "The End of 
Southern Exceptionalism." The authors provide data to show that the poorest, 
most racist whites never switched.

The ones that did switch were the non-racists, who were attracted to the 
Republican Party's message of opportunity, prosperity, and upward mobility.

So, what about Strom Thurmond? Was he typical? How many racists in the 
Democratic Party leadership switched and became Republicans? 

Let's make a list, and we'll see who switched.

We'll start with the leaders of the Ku Klux Klan. Now let's add in the leaders 
of the various racist organizations and Democratic congressmen and Democratic 
senators from 1860 all the way to 2000.

Let's throw in all the people who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

So, there they are... all , of them. Ready for the big switch?

We'll go from Democratic blue to Republican red. So, here it is. Yes, that's 
it. Less than one percent.

The big switch is a big lie.

The Democrats didn't switch from being the bad guys to the good guys.

They simply found a new and bigger scam.

In a Great Migration, millions of Southern blacks moved north to the cities. 
They were joined by millions of immigrants from all over the world, so the 
Democrats got an idea: "Let's recreate the plantation, but now do it in the 
inner city."

I'm not the first to call these neighborhoods plantations. Here is Obama 
reading from his book Dreams From My Father:

"Seemed like we'd always be second-class citizens." Plantation politics. "The 
man with the newspaper said. That's just what it was, too, a plantation."

Black people in the worst jobs. The worst housing. Police brutality rampant. 
"But when the so-called black committeemen came around election time, we'd all 
line up and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Sell our souls for a Christmas 
turkey. White folks spitting in our faces, and we'd reward them with a vote."

So, what has Obama done to get rid of the Democratic plantation? Nothing. 
That's because he's running it. 

The Democratic urban plantations were not just for blacks. They were also for 
other minorities and immigrants. When these groups arrived, they found waiting 
for them a Democratic welcoming committee.

- Hey, welcome to America.
- We're here to help you.

- No, no? Speak English?
- All right, let him know...

They helped them out, found them a place to live, got them jobs. The immigrant 
plantations had their own names: Ghettos, slums, barrios.

Welcome to America.

The Democratic Party built them, put these vulnerable people in them, and made 
sure no one left them.

But nothing's free, right?

In exchange, they made sure these immigrants voted for them.

"You, you! Let's go!"

Gangs have bosses who control things. The Democrats figured out they could
transfer this model to politics. They invented the big-city boss. Democrat city 
bosses sought to control not just government through patronage and payoffs and 
corruption, they also sought control of industry.

They wanted to control unions.

I want you to get out there and get the votes out! That's what I want!

And once in power, they looted the city treasury and used their power
to shake down businesses.

Gentlemen, you wanted city contracts?

Now I am the city.

So, really, the whole operation was not for the people's benefit, but for their 
benefit. This is what makes them the original community organizers.

Big-city bosses were a local racket. The Democrats needed a pitch for why they 
should be running the whole country in the same way they were running the inner 
cities.

The Democrats didn't switch from being the bad guys to the good guys... 

They simply found a new and bigger scam.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
