What A Difference A Few Years Make

All but the KKK. Those others are racist too, but they are not the KKK.

Yes, the KKK was originally founded by Southern Democrats

Platforms changed ( history will support this) and just because the KKK was founded by (D) doesn’t mean the KKK is todays Democrats

Clearly the majority of racist people live in Idaho and the South. Dominated by Republicans.

The liberal-switcheroo is a ridiculous myth. The GOP won the south after supporting and passing the Civil Rights Act. That effectively ended over 100+ years of Democrat control. Out of 1600 racist Democrats from the Civil War to the year 2000, less than 1% switched parties. Only 2 of the 112 racist Democrats who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 actually “switched” to the GOP: John Jarman and Strom Thurmond. All the racist Democrats who had opposed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960’s were the same ones who in the 1970’s supported Roe v. Wade. They went straight from supporting segregation to supporting abortion. So there was no switch between the parties. In fact, the GOP didn’t gain a majority of southern seats until 1994, 30 years after the Civil Rights movement.

In the traditionally racist Democrat-held South, Alabama didn't elect a Republican Governor until 1986. Mississippi didn't elect one until 1991, and Georgia didn't elect a Republican Governor until 2002. In other words, it took 30 years for those racist Democrat voters to finally give the GOP a majority of southern House seats. And why did it take racist voters in Georgia 38 years to finally vote for a Republican Governor?

Now let's talk about the Democrats: Today's Democrats are not he result of a "party switch." The Democrats have tilted farther and farther to the left, while the GOP platform is more or less the same now as it was in the 1800's. The Democrats have stopped actively trying to oppress minorities, and instead have created a mass of single parent households, they've passed crime bills which disproportionally punished Blacks, forced minorities into government welfare from cradle to grave, and used them as political pawns to win elections. A welfare class is easy to control, which is why the poor and minorities tend to vote for Democrats.
