If you want to understand the Dem base - those that only care about getting wealthier at the expense of the lives of people around the world
New theory: In BADeckerville during 60s the parties never switched. Pre 1960, the Democrats were the racist, conservative, rural, uneducated, anti-regulation, anti-science, anti-gay, anti-immigration, bible thumping party of the South. Meanwhile the Republicans from the North were running the big cities, were pro-regulation and were known for spearheading the most radical social justice movement in history (allowing black people to have the same rights as the white people)
In the real world, after the civil rights movement, the Democrats from the South and Republicans from the North switched places.
In BADeckerville, it appears this did not happen.
