Prove me wrong. No really, actually try. Every war, every depression, every major social upheaval.
Democrats.
But before you post your perceived victory, look deeper. If you didn't find the democrat, then you suck at research.

When they leave out the part in 1960's when all the evil democrats turned into the GOP.
There was a process that I prefer to call the “Great Sorting” that really started when the “Dixiecrats” ran their own candidate in opposition to Harry Truman in 1948 and was essentially completed with Nixon’s 1968 “Southern strategy”. Both parties became much more ideologically homogeneous during that period almost entirely for reasons having to do with race and civil rights. The odd thing is that the smaller wing within each party in 1948 was the dominant force in 1968. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is often cited as the precipitating event, but in truth it was more of a “last straw” that was more sharply divided along regional lines than party lines. Northern Democrats, led by Hubert Humphrey, were a major force in its passage while the relatively few Southern Republicans were uniformly opposed to it. Meanwhile, the Republican party platform went from having a long (~1200 words) section on civil rights in 1960 to a paragraph (~300 words) in 1964 to no mention of the issue at all in 1968.
Dohhhhhhhhhh... So its really the same people, rebranded. Think of it more geographically then political. Its always from the same region, same people. The southern part of the country has always been the most evil, insane, and killed millions of black people over the years through slavery. Then the civil war. All on the part of the southern states. The takers. The welfare states. The trash with their cup, begging for government hand outs cause their state is a 3rd world hell hole. Americas losers, the south.
