Like many [[New Deal]]ers, Thurmond by the 1960s was disenchanted with [[big government]], the [[War on Poverty]], and the [[Great Society]]'s attack on Black families and traditional values. By the 1970s, poverty emerged victorious in this great national struggle, with [[stagflation]], no growth, high unemployment to acheive equality among the races, crumbling family structure and rising abortion rates as the hallmarks of the [[Marxist]] utopia that Democrats were seeking to build. Many New Deal era Democrats left the party.

Many New Deal era Democrats had already left the party.
At Thurmond's one hundredth birthday party, Senate Majority Leader [[Trent Lott]] stated if Thurmond had been elected in the early days of the [[Cold War]] "we wouldn't have had these problems all these years." [[Deceit|Liberals]] and [[race baiter]]s were in an uproar, demanding Lott not only apologize, but resign from the Senate and his leadership position. This politically motivated pressure and defamation, a continual distortion and interpretation of his remarks, eventually caused Lott to resign his position as Majority Leader.
