Still telling this lie? Come on.
I'm no fan of the Democratic party, but dude, most of the Dixiecrat voters moved to the Republican party in the 70's. It's no secret that they abandoned the Democratic party because of Kennedy and LBJ's integration policies. The segregationist politicians claimed "states rights" and jumped ship to become republicans. See Trent Lott, Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond.
A few remained Democrats, like Robert Byrd. But most simply retired from public office and became STAUNCHLY Republican as private citizens. But the real question is the voters. The majority of former southern segregationist voters (those still living) are today Republicans. That is a cold hard ugly fact, that you conveniently ignore.
you forgot to say that Lincoln was really a Democrat. Libs usually throw that one in there too when assigning their factual racist past over the Republicans.
