I find it amazing that LJ says that the Democrats were Republicans and the Republicans were secretly Democrats. It makes your head swim. "Yes" is "no" and "no" is "yes". Democrats did not institute the race laws because they were secretly Republicans.
LJ is not logical in the least and lives in a make-believe fantasy world where up is down and sideways does not exist. And she accuses every one else of being revisionist historians. She needs professional help.
