They do that a lot
Democrats taking credit for shit they didn’t do:
The Civil Rights Act? Are you fucking retarded? Which one? 1866? Radical Republicans. 1871? Radical Republicans, to reign in the Democrat Ku Klux Klan. 1875? Republicans. 1957? Passed over an attempted filibuster by the Democrats. 1960? Passed over an attempted filibuster by the Democrats, the longest one in history, in fact. 1964? Opposed by Democrats, not Republicans. 1968? The Dems finally come around and stop trying to filibuster the acts. 1991? Five nays, way to beat down that vicious Republican racism, guys. Civil Rights Act? From the Dixiecrats? Fuck you.

But Uncle, don’t you know that the Dixiecrats were “never a major part” of the Democratic Party? (Yes, that’s a quote– from a fellow college student.)

FDR, a Democrat, ended Prohibition which Congress passed over the objections of Woodrow Wilson, also a Democrat. They also both beat the Hun. You are welcome to look it up.

A president ended a constitutional amendment? I thought only congress could do that.

OK: “FDR, a Democrat, signed legislation ending Prohibition . . .”
I’ll tip a martini in your direction for the catch while watching “30 Rock” by the fire tonight.
