And here we go with the people who bitterly cling to the myth in order to lay their party's sins at the feet of their opponents.

Platforms change, but Robert Byrd, the Klansman, was a Democrat until Satan took his son home.

No, but you seem to be. Do you honestly think the Democratic Party doesn't jerrymander every chance they get?

They made fun of Michael Jackson's plastic surgery too, but this was more extreme.

I look at it as absurdist political humor, just like when they were making fun of Al Gore with ManBearPig and Hilly Clinton with The Snuke. Then there was them roasting the shit out of Saddam Hussein in the movie.

Rehashing Saddam Hussein as Trump was a bit lazy. They could have done better, but it was still entirely unexpected.

Noem and Trump have to realize one very important thing.

Matt and Trey don't give a shit and no one is off limits.

It very much is a myth. The Dixiecrats didn't become Republicans. They remained Democrats and mentored the next generation of Democrats. Al Gore Sr was a flaming racist and his son almost became president. Some like Robert Byrd acted like they were distancing themselves from Democrat hate groups like the KKK, but Byrd's voting record still shows he clung to his racist ways by systematically voting against black appointments, especially non Democrat ones.

Also, you don't found a new chapter of an organization you don't believe in and Democrats still preach white supremacy. They merely call it "white privilege" now.

Same party. the "party switch" is a myth. The Democratic party of today is the same Democratic party of slavery, Jim Crow, and jerrymandering.

That's right, hit that block button, block out the truth, while making a false allegation about holocaust denial.

The Republicans walked away to prevent the Democrats from saddling their constituents with new taxes. I remember the Democrats losing their shit over it, calling them traitors, wanting them to be imprisoned and lose their seats.

Now that the shoe is on the other foot, the Democrats want to be upset about it.
