lot of nostalgia for the good old days

yellow dogs going after last major union now, police unions

one of reagans only problems was working with democrats too much which led to a poor economy toward the end of his term which Poppy Bush also got blamed for.

No - the yellow dog Democrats were the unions, who could guarantee numerous votes for Dems in the 1970s. An example today is the maga-church and other wirht-wing evangelical churches in the US, almost all of whom vote Republican. Churches have become important propaganda machines.

religion has always been a political tool ever since it was made up by kings who used it to gain and keep power

yellow dogs just meant people that foolishly voted for a democrat for no reason other than that he is not a republican, basically they got brainwashed. You see that today of course.

Without discussing the various ways to skin a cat:

Religion existed before kings

In some parts of the South in the 1970s, the 'yellow' in yellow dog democrat was 'yellow' (a coward) who voted without having a conscience, and was a dog, faithful to only vote for one party's candidates at all costs. Repuglicans are now famous for these faithful, dumb cowards.

yeah religion probably was invented by cavemen, they would look up at the sky and see all the stars then shamans would tell them stories about it.

Yeah the yellow meant coward. Republicans do it too, the truth being that both parties are in collusion so whomever you vote for is goint to screw you, but if you do go with the lesser of evils you gotta vote for a repub. Maybe I'd say vote for a dem like Bernie if dems ever didn't rig their primaries and allow him or someone like him to run.
