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 races, crumbling family structure and rising abortion rates were the hallmarks of the [[Marxist]] utopia that Democrats were seeking to build. Many New Deal era Democrats had already left the party.

At Thurmond's one hundredth birthday party, Senate Majority Leader [[Trent Lott]] humored Thurmond by saying if he had been elected before Democratic presidents led the [[United States]] into the Korean and [[Vietnam War]]s, "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. This politically motivated pressure and distortion of the remarks, eventually caused Lott to resign his position as Majority Leader. But no one attacked Thurmond who remained in the Senate.
