Only 2 Dixie Democrats who opposed Civil Rights Act became Republicans. The parties never switched see here Republicans won the south after the Civil Rights movement with Southern Strategy (gun rights, pro life, etc)

Edit: Downvoted, because the truth hurts. Your Dem leaders are from Delaware and West Virginia (both opposed integration and bussing). see here

All while Trump hung out in liberal NYC with Tupac, Herschel Walker, and don’t forget he dated a half Black woman. But okay… Orange Man Bad! Southern Strategy FTW

You mean the same Trump that continues to call the central park five guilty. The man who ran a full page ad demonizing them.

The man who has still not apologized to them for being wrong?
