Dems were the KKK endorsers of the past, but republicans today love the confederate flag. (Congress, racist)

Meanwhile the dems became progressive for a time (civil rights etc.). Now the dems are a shadow of their former selves and becoming republicans, but republics were acting like dems during the slave days, and now republicans are becoming more tolerant and acting like dems SHOULD be acting, or becoming what dems preach about.

This is really confusing..

I think about a very famous quote by someone on city-data.

I guess if you keep saying it enough, you will convince yourself.

Racists are on both sides of the aisle. The more dangerous ones are those who are on the down low.

progressive for a time??? They are progressive right now and so is alot of the right.
The less racist the South became the more Republican it became. The republicans didn't control the Southern Congress until ~1990

They're fellow socialists with Adolph, of course they follow his advice including violent nazi brown shirt harassment in an attempt to bully people that challenge them.
