Kansas has voted Republican in the past 15 presidential elections, according to Wikipedia.
Kansas hasn’t voted for a Democrat for president since it voted for Lyndon Johnson in 1964, when he ran against Barry Goldwater.
That means it has been 62 years since a Democrat has won Kansas in a presidential election.

March 15, 1965 - Less than a week after the Bloody Sunday police attacks on peaceful marchers at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, President Lyndon Johnson addressed the American people before a televised Joint Session of Congress. He said, “There is no issue of States rights or national rights. There is only the struggle for human rights . . . We have already waited a hundred years and more, and the time for waiting is gone . . . .”

I was tempted to post a simple "Ignore Tony, follow Harold!" message to Starmer, but as this article suggests, Wilson's "keeping the UK out of Vietnam" story is not quite that straightforward.

I recently read Patrick Cox -- Ralph W. Yarborough, the People's Senator.
It's a must read for anyone interested in Texas, but it's not just Texana; in fact, it's a scholarly work that merits attention from anyone who wants to understand the political history of the USA from the the twenties to the Civil Rights movement.
I found fascinating Yarborough's evolution from an East Texas Democrat who hemmed and hawed about Brown and "forced integration" to his becoming the only US senator from the South to have voted for all of the major Civil Rights bills.
Following Yarborough's political career can help the reader understand the broader transformation of the Democrats in the postwar era.
His often frosty relationship with LBJ is an important theme of the book. Their differences were not just personal, but arose from Yarborough's unwillingness to join LBJ in forging bonds with the major industrial and financial powers of Texas to facilitate both campaigning in the giant state and the passgage of modernizing and desegregating legislation.
As Cox notes, Yarborough remained in many ways a figure from an earlier era; a teetotal Southern Baptist happier with courthouse square stemwinder oratory than TV campaigning, an old style hands on politician who tried to answer his mail personally, much to the frustration of his staff. Yet his part in pushing forward measures on civil rights, education, health care, and the environment also shows him pushing into a future that we still have not realized in full.
The account of his battles with Allan Shivers will remind you of just how barf making these southern conservative Democrats were!

As much as we'd like for Ken Burns to do a documentary on JFK, LBJ is the more interesting choice. 📺

"We’ve accepted the violence of the Civil War, the violence of World War I and II and Vietnam and Korea. But we’ve protected our Revolution like a bug in amber."

July 28, 1965 - President Lyndon Johnson ordered 50,000 troops to Vietnam to join the 75,000 already there. By the end of the year 180,000 U.S. troops will have been sent to Vietnam; in 1966 the figure doubled. In addition to countless Vietnamese deaths, close to 1900 Americans were killed in 1965; the following year the number more than tripled.
President Johnson explained: “We intend to convince the communists that we cannot be defeated by force of arms or by superior power.”

I've often heard #Republicans trying to claim #CivilRights icon #MartinLutherKing/#MLK as one of their own... citing "Negroes" fleeing Deep South anti-Civil Rights Dixiecrats.At the same time #JFK & #LBJ were advancing Civil Rights, #Republicans started courting the Deep South over to their side where they remain to this day.
MLK Jr famously warned against voting for Barry Goldwater and endorsed Kennedy:

March 31, 1968 - President Lyndon Johnson announced he would not seek re-election, ordered a partial bombing halt in Vietnam, and appointed W. Averell Harriman to seek peace negotiations with North Vietnam.

Why #LBJ Canceled #Apollo #Moon Base
#NASA's requested funding was spent on Great Society, including building rapid transit system in several cities. Funding allocated elsewhere than NASA transformed American society in other ways. NASA intended for #astronauts to live on moon for two weeks. For comparison, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent 21hr on the Moon during Apollo 11, costs ultimately derailed the lunar base.Johnson administration had other spending concerns.

@Bookworm33333
I'm noticing some of the EO's #DonTheCon is signing are CLEARLY being pushed by The #ElongatedMuskrat.The #DayOne EO he signed ending "work from home" options for employees put into place during #Covid was something #Muskrat was CONSTANTLY bitching about on 'X'.
And now ending #LBJ's "no-discrimination hiring among gov't contractors" has his fingerprints all over it.

If you substitute #NorthVietnam with #DonaldTrump and #TetOffensive with #CNN #debate , you can see that the #DemocraticParty is getting a #DoOver of the #1968DemocraticConvention and the #1968election 🗳️ - which gave #America its first criminal #President btw.
#POTUS #Biden can achieve a greater legacy than #LBJ by withdrawing from the #2024election and then helping lead united #Democrats to VICTORY! #USpol

@farbel Influencing #US #foreign_policy has always been a heavy lift. Back in 1968 #antiwar #protests forced #LBJ out only for us to end up with #Nixon and an even worse #Cambodia #bombing campaign. People say #Trump or #Biden makes no difference... for #white #people perhaps. On the other hand, Trump 2.0 will rain down hell on #immigrants, particularly #Muslims and #Latinos. Trump brags about #MassDeportations. Remember the #ICE raids? Many more #POC will be swept up in the next one.
In addition to #StateViolence #authoritarians establish a #PermissionStructure of #violence against disfavored groups. During the last Trump administration, #MassShootings of minorities and synagogues was rampant. I'm voting for #Biden2024 not because I'm a fan, but because I am thinking of all the people Trump will hurt in the US. #Voting one's #conscience in the #2024Election is a choice between a soiled conscience or a dead one.
