>> Look up the term dixiecrat. You don't have to look it up to recognize the Dixiecrats were long gone by the time Hollings was elected in 1955 and certainly any later elections. Long gone. You really are going to argue with me about what a Dixiecrat was and when they were in power?? My God, how corrupted is your shit? You lie to yourselves and everyone else. The States' Rights Democratic Party* (usually called the Dixiecrats) was a short-lived* segregationist political party in the United States in 1948. It originated as a breakaway faction of the Democratic Party in 1948, determined to protect what they portrayed as the southern way of life beset by an oppressive federal government, [1] and supporters assumed control of the state Democratic parties in part or in full in several Southern states. The States' Rights Democratic Party opposed racial integration and wanted to retain Jim Crow laws and white supremacy in the face of possible federal intervention. Members were called Dixiecrats. (The term Dixiecrat is a portmanteau of Dixie, referring to the Southern United States, and Democrat.) The party did not run local or state candidates, and after the 1948 election its leaders generally returned to the Democratic Party. [2] The Dixiecrats had little short-run impact on politics. However, they did have a long-term impact. The Dixiecrats began the weakening of the " Solid South" (the Democratic Party's total control of presidential elections in the South). [3] *The term "Dixiecrat" is sometimes used by Northern Democrats to refer to conservative Southern Democrats from the 1940s to the 1990s, regardless of where they stood in 1948.[4]* https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Dixiecrat** They essentially lasted through less than one election cycle. Look u the term "dixiecrat". I'm sure it will discuss how short-lived the movement was. The Dixiecrats were the very epitome of southern pride.

They essentially lasted through less than one election cycle. Why are you splitting hairs? Dixiecrats or conservative Dems...............they were the same thing. They were opposed to civil rts legislation and migrated to the GOP. That's all we need to know. Your efforts at nuancing speak volumes.
