ROTFMAO. It's not a myth and it's never been "debunked" by anyone who wasn't a GOP apologist. All those segregationists like Trent Lott, Haley Barber, and Strom Thurmond who joined up with the GOP after the passage of the Voting Rights of 1965 just "happened" to "see the light" when they were forced to accept that blacks had rights that whites would have to respect.
The last time I looked, the most prominent KKKer, David Duke is a Pubbie who ran for the Republican presidential nomination and endorsed Trump. I also believe that the Storm Front bigots are on the Trump bandwagon, too.
