Ok, I don’t know why everyone’s bringing up historical examples. The Republican Party at the very least caters to racists, if not being racist. Trump said the tiki torch rally had “very fine people” on both sides, claiming immigrants eat cats and dogs, the insistence of focus on the race of immigrants, the original Muslim ban, anti DEI policies, Trump claiming Mexico was sending rapists, etc
The Democratic Party never adopted the civil rights movement, it was the Republican Party that carried it all the way through to completion, the civil rights act was championed and pushed through by republicans, the democrats acted against it. There was never a party switch, that is a myth that gullible people believe. The politics never switched, republicans still champion equality while democrats still champion racial divisions.
