You can always join the GOP. I mean, lower taxes, better management of government programs and an anti-communist foreign policy should be an easier thing to swallow than Nazi Dixiecrat bills.
The real tests of the liberal wing of the Democratic Party at this point may be whether they are able to 1) Stick to their ideals in Congress instead of trying to achieve legislative success through realpolitik alliances with the segregationists, 2) Defeat Sharp or Boone in the primaries, 3) Win the election, assuming they’re able to defeat any Dixiecrats in the primary.
If they can’t meaningfully stand up against the segregationist wing of the party or find substantial success themselves over the next year, many liberals and moderates may as well join the GOP.
at this point I don't think anyone has any reason to assume that house democrats liberals ideals don't include relocating black people, lol.
Any dem committed to liberalism is just best off following Bradford into the republican party. At the time I thought it was a weird switch but seeing the state of the liberal democrats it totally makes sense.
