UT alum Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 I know the history. A Democratic President’s signature is on the bill. The Voting Rights Act passed by a 333-85 vote in the House. Democrats 222-61 (18% against), Republicans 112-24 (20% against). Therefore it passed without the need of any Republican votes. The Civil Rights Act passed the house August 3, 1965. Democrats 217-64 (30% against) Republicans 111-20 (18% against). Only 1 Republican vote needed to pass. In the Senate on August 4, 1965 the vote was 79-18. Democrats 49-17, Republicans 30-1. Only two Republican votes needed to pass. Spin it ever how it want. Those are the facts. Not all democrats were from the south. Nixon knew how pissed the Dixiecrats were, hence the southern strategy to move in and get the southern racist vote. Like I said, it’s all about the votes for any party. Learn your history. Quote

By the way, the democrat president you’re so proud of was a hardcore racist. Quote

But he overcame his prejudice and did the right thing. Trump has no self awareness. Only self aggrandizement. Quote
