If US politicians were Canadian

[Хahar 🤔]

Really the only prominent Republican of the last century who I can imagine as a Liberal would be Eisenhower; all the rest (and certainly all Republicans today) would be Tories. The vast majority of Democrats would be Liberals; the only exceptions would be politicians closely linked to the labor movement (like John Dingell), urban leftists (Barbara Lee), and the occasional rural westerner (Brian Schweitzer), all of whom would be NDP.

Hmm. I would've gathered that the NDP would be quite strong in Minnesota.

That map is kind of misleading, just like the Democratic vs. Republican map most of those blue counties aren't very populated. Hennepin would be close between the NDP and Liberals too. But I don't see much reason for those agrian counties to vote NDP, there simply isn't any such NDP-voting area in Canada.

Certainly not in Montana like Xahar suggested.

It makes sense if you take note of who the people who are actually Democrats in Montana are.

Maybe, but I always thought of Montana was like Alberta, politically, but perhaps it's more similar to the B.C. Interior.

Atamenko's the sort of politician who would fit reasonably well with the Montana Democrats. If Montana's like any province, it's Saskatchewan, but really it's most like British Columbia sans the metropolitan areas.

This is an interesting thread in a board that could use something requiring a bit of thought. I hope nobody minds if I bump it.

Robert La Follette Sr-NDP

Can't think of other GOPers that would be in the NDP

La Follette would have been a Progressive, but he wasn't a socialist. He would have ended up in the Liberal Party.

[Хahar 🤔]

Trudeau and Layton would have been generic liberal Democrats. Clark certainly would be a Republican; remember that he's Albertan.

A lot of this is based on religious affiliation. Al Smith and the Kennedys and the Browns would certainly be Liberals, given that they were Catholic.

I think that the closest analog to the South might be Quebec, which would make the South historically monolithically Liberal.

2011, America style:

Did you forget to change DC? I don't think it would vote 90% Liberal.

[Хahar 🤔]

I'd like to think that the Tories are more Southern representative while Liberals are more representative of New England but it is hard to say because we're dealing with different countries. Determining which party would be abolitionist and which party would be secessionist essentially determines which politicians would fall where.
 
Saying that Liberals would be the party of racism, the Confederacy and the like just turns them into the Democrats and makes for a boring exercise.

I'm going to say the Liberal and Conservatives bases are the same as the republican and democratic except that Jews vote con instead of the liberals.

Jews don't vote Liberal as reliably as they once used to, but it was just twelve years ago that the Liberal candidate received over 90% of the vote in Mount Royal.
