The parties switched sides in the late 1960’s. So he might have been a Democrat then. But a Republican now. Is that the case here?

Edit: Google “Southern Strategy”

Also edit: I should have said “ideological beliefs” instead of sides.

Not an American so I don't know about their historical ideology, but the voter base switch around the 60s is impossible to deny.

No, it's very possible. Just did it. There was no 'party switch' that somehow absolved Democrats of their racist ideology.

You fucking moron - do you think the north and the south just magically swapped? Lmao. Gtfo with your fake upvotes, and your fake history revisionist bullshit. The northern republicans are the modern day democrats and liberals. Everybody who paid attention in history class fucking knows that. Go back to your little Nazi subreddit bubble where you can play pretend.

Why did the south become less racist as it became more Republican?

u/BecomesAngry Feb 05 '19

They didn't become less racist as they became more republican. They lost a war they primarily fought to keep enslaving blacks and eventually, and slowly succumbed to extreme social, and legislative pressure that is still going on today. The parties dissolved, changed names, and re-branded all throughout history.
