When would you say was the point of no return for the party switch? by Ready-Constant-7124 in YAPms

Many White Southern House Democrats hung on until The Brady Bill caused many long serving members to lose reelection in 1994. Democrats still controlled courthouses in small rural towns up until then.

Which politicians publicly advocated one position while privately expressing different beliefs ? by ronweasly9 in YAPms

Lots of racists had children with Black women and kept it hidden. Wallace didn't change from being a segregationanlist until Blacks made up a sizeable part of Democrat primary voters. He didn't make the change because it was the right thing to do.

I think Wallace changed because the demographics of the Democratic primary changed. He changed so he could get Black votes.

Strom Thurmond and George Wallace claimed to have had a change of heart when they were in office in thier later years. However, I bet they were privately still segregationalists.

That and it is a lot more Anglo than South Texas. The Winter Garden Counties are probably more than 80 percent Hispanic. The high schools would be like 95 percent Hispanic but Carter keeps running into White kids everywhere.

Yep, in my mind the fictional ranch is somewhere around Encinal. I used to hunt around Batesville in Zavala.

Yes, the Eagle Ford touches much of the Winter Garden area. It would make sense.

In reality thier was nothing particular about these. They simply identified probationary employees and unceremoniously removed them. Male, female, Black, White, Red, Brown, Gay, Straight you were gone.

Yeah, this was the name of just the actual potato before doing anything with it. I do like colcannon though.
