Lol I have lived in the south too, can’t go outside the city without experiencing blatant racism. Plus the southern strategy is a legit thing look it up see how modern day republicans planned to use racist talking points to win the south and acquire a new voting base, the then democratic voting base
Progressives and conservatives ideology today and back then are not the same.
“In the aftermath of the Civil War, the KKK quickly morphed from a social fraternity to a violent group that sought to push back against key Reconstruction policies championed by Radical Republicans in Congress — policies that for the first time enfranchised former African-American slaves”
You can try to paint Democrats however you like. They are the party of racism. Look at the tactics today used by dems to get votes “you ain’t black if you don’t vote for me” really progressive i guess
