THE SOUTH-GOES AROUND/COMES AROUND!

       Another problem with getting older is you remember things that those a lot younger haven't grasped or thought about. Case in point is the latest special election in Alabama. The media was getting all excited because a Democrat edged out the Republican nominee in a "RED" state that hadn't had a Democrat in 2 decades or so. 

          It doesn't matter, but, Democrats had controlled the entire South at one time for over 100 years or more. It was not until Lyndon Johnson passed a lot of the legislation pertaining to Civil Rights that the South started to shift away from Democratic to Republican. 

       Everything changes. Just like the Democrats were always strong with blue collar workers. Not so much today since Reagan and Trump. Who knows maybe some day soon, we will see big hunks of highly educated suburbanites switch to the Republican party. One should never take certain groups for granite in politics. That applies to lots of things.  Nothing ever stays the same!
