Okay, well, when you read the linked documents, maybe you'll realize that you're mistaken about what's been shown. Why you should even need to do that when staring you and everyone else in the face is the simple fact that the KKK , white nationalists, and Neo Nazis are today, as we live and breathe, Republican not Democrat supporters. They used to support Democrats. How much more "in your face" an indication of the shift in party allegiance does one need?Every person who signed the Southern Manifesto was a Democrat. Every one of them remained a Democrat till the day that they died except for Strom Thurman.That's your response to comments and content that explicitly remark upon and show empirically the shift of voters, actual human beings, of a given mindset from one party to the other. Seriously? Please tell me your comment is merely an attempt to bait me into a different line of discussion?Dude the only thing that has 'swapped' is that the Democrats have gone from promoting pro-white policies to promoting pro-minority policies.
They are still THE race baiting party of American politics.
You have not shown anything empirically other than a generic shift in white voters from D to R since 1960's. And there are many reasons for that, and a gazillion more since then.
The racist leadership in America in 1956 was Democrat and REMAINED DEMOCRAT.
The only group TODAY that once again champions the reduction of rights on the basis of race ONCE AGAIN ARE DEMOCRATS, they just changed who they are doing their race hustling for, and that is all.
- The Daily Stormer, a leading neo-Nazi news site, endorsed Trump on June 28. “Trump is willing to say what most Americans think: it’s time to deport these people,” the site said in its endorsement. It then urged white men to “vote for the first time in our lives for the one man who actually represents our interests.”
- Richard Spencer, director of the National Policy Institute, which promotes the “heritage, identity, and future of European people,” said that Trump was “refreshing.” “Trump, on a gut level, kind of senses that this is about demographics, ultimately. We’re moving into a new America,” Spencer said. Trump embodies “an unconscious vision that white people have — that their grandchildren might be a hated minority in their own country. I think that scares us. They probably aren’t able to articulate it. I think it’s there. I think that, to a great degree, explains the Trump phenomenon. I think he is the one person who can tap into it.” Spencer, Osnos notes, is not the stereotype of a prejudiced yokel: At 36, he is clean-cut, and boasts degrees from elite universities. The Southern Poverty Law Center, Osnos says, calls Spencer “a suit-and-tie version of the white supremacists of old.”
- Michael Hill, head of the League of the South, an Alabama-based white supremacist secessionist group, said Trump was “good” for the white racist cause. “I love to see somebody like Donald Trump come along,” Hill said. “Not that I believe anything that he says. But he is stirring up chaos in the GOP, and for us that is good.” Osnos attended a speech Hill gave to a crowd of cheering followers in which he railed against the “cultural genocide” of white Americans, which he said was “merely a prelude to physical genocide.”
- KKK explicitly endorsed Trump in its paper.
- Andrew Anglin of the Daily Stormer wrote of Trump (thus the GOP), "This man is doing absolutely everything in his power to back us up and we need to have his back." (I'd have included a link to the Daily Stormer (a Neo Nazi group), but that group's website isn't around any more.) During the campaign, Anglin stated, "Virtually every alt-right Nazi I know is volunteering for the Trump campaign."
Even the House of Representatives documents the transformation. The House and researchers already referenced are not alone. Each of those documents contains an abundance of reference works that do so as well -- read the darn footnotes and bibliography and then review the noted documents.
